Pediatrician Appointment

Both girls visited their pediatrician today, who we really love. It had been a while since they'd seen him, first off because the girls have been so healthy, and also because we had to reschedule our previous appointment, and he is always very booked for well check visits. They were each weighed & measured, looked over very closesly, and Dr. F. always asks a TON of questions. And of course to top off the fun of the whole situation they had their immunizations, 3 each. Madelyn always does pretty well, she cries for a minute or 2, then she's over it. She's so tough. Then there's Katelyn who thinks the world is coming to an end. She screams for a LOOONG time. So we always have her go last so that way I can give her extra loves, and cuddles to calm her down. So here are the stats on the babies:

Katelyn: 13 lbs 4 oz. !!! 24" tall Head 17"
Dr. F. said he would've like to see her with more "catch up" weight. But he thinks over all she is growing pretty well. They are not even on the growth scale for their actual age, so if we go by adjusted age of 5.5 months she'd probably be on the lower side. We got the go ahead to start veggies whenever I feel like.

He checked out Katy's development by asking me lots of questions on how & what she's doing, ie; is she rolling over both ways?, does she sit with minimal support?, does she grab things? does she coo, giggle, smile socially?,...and then he watched her movements, and had her do some things like, grab, grasp, put toy in her mouth, switch toy from one hand to the other, sit with minimal support...ect....He then said she's doing fabulously for her adjusted age, and told me she's around 6 months developmentally! That's pretty awesome. She's right on target for her adjusted age, and catching up to her actual age!!!

Madelyn: 12 lbs even, 23" tall, Head 16 1/4"
So as you all are probably aware by now, Madelyn has been showing signs of having some delays. She's definately smaller than her sis, and Dr. F. said she hasn't lost weight but her weight was very paralell on the scale. He'd definately like to see her gain a lot more weight. He also checked her development by asking the same questions, and watching her do things. It was very clear to him just by observing her that she is delayed. He noted that her movements, and developments are around the 3-4 month range in his opinion. He also told me that because she seems to prefer using her right hand over her left, it most likely indicates that her left side is weaker. She also only rolls to the right side and can only roll from back to belly, & she cannot sit well with minimal support. He diagnosed her as Developmentally Delayed, which can mean many things. We will hopefully have more answers when we go to the CDRC clinic this Friday for their Nuerological exams. Dr. F. said the specialists there will be better able to pinpoint her issues, and make a more clear diagnosis, if any. They will also be able to help us set up therapies for her if they believe she needs them. We pretty much were already aware of Mady's delays, but having a Dr. tell you that your baby is delayed is just hard to hear. I know it's not like hearing your baby is sick or anything like that, but we just want her to be able to do all the things her sissy can do, without having to work so hard. I will definately give more details when I get them.

HI,
I am Laura from the MOMO twin board. I saw your post on Angie's blog and found you. It is very hard to hear your baby is delayed (even a little) from a doctor. The good news is that with intervention nearly all delays are fixed before they become problems. I have a good friend who had similar issues with one of her twins, they ran tests etc... In the end with early intervention therapy etc... her daughter has caught up beautifully. She is only three now. Your girls are so adorable!
