The girls pediatrician, Dr. Mallard (aka 'The Baby Whisperer'), saw the girls this morning--7:30 to be exact--argh. He was pleasantly surprised at the weight they had each gained and indicated that everything else looks good. In this corner, Abigail weighed in at 5 lbs. 3 ozs.--that's 6 ozs. more than Sunday night--and Sydney weighed in at 5 lbs. 1 oz.--that's 4 ozs. more. I think Abigail could have weighed about 7 lbs. or so if we had kept the diaper on that she loaded up on the way in this morning-- wow, that's a lot of poop. The nurse said that the circumference of their heads and their weights were something in the 3 percentile range--of course, the girls are only 37 weeks gestation and that scale is for a full term baby. The doc said that they will probably not be accurately measured as far as percentiles go until age 2 or so. Oh and the doc was called 'The Baby Whisperer' by some church friends--I would guess that has to do with his handling of the babies, his low but smooth voice, and the way that he talks to them in different voices. Some of his practices brought back memories of when I was his patient--especially the blowing on the stethoscope before applying to the babies skin and the signature bowtie. So, all is well in the land of the Glisson's. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.
