Today (May 30) was the twins' official due date. It's hard to believe that Elsa and Bea have only been part of our lives for a mere 40 weeks. So much has happened in that short time span.
As of today, Bea is developmentally ZERO years old. (She was in the negative before.) She is looking and acting pretty much like a newborn should. At her two-month check up (this afternoon) she weighed 7 lbs 12 oz and measured 20.5 inches long. Pretty average for a newborn, but pretty amazing for someone who started out at 3 lbs 9 oz. Her two months of experience in the world has given her a slight edge on her newborn friends -- she can pick up her head very well and smiles quite a lot.
Unlike newborns, Bea had to get her two month vaccines today. One oral vacination and three shots. She actually did pretty well -- only really crying during the shots for a minute or two. But, she cried her first real tears. It might have been worse on me then it was on her.
Last night the ladies in our neighborhood gave me a really lovely shower. Our first one. Bea got all dressed up in a frilly dress and made a five minute appearance at her first party. It was sort of a fitting end to the official pregnancy time period -- finally a time to celebrate.
