Munchkins

So, we went and saw Dr. Deeb, the pediatric endocrinologist, on Monday. Our pediatrician wanted us to check in with him since the boys are still little. We had a really good meeting with him and here is what we learned.

1) They are each about 28inches long and weigh right around 17 pounds

2) They seem very healthy

3) Yes, they are REALLY small (out of 1000 kids, 940 of them would be bigger than Alden and Carson)

4) He does not want us giving them half and half or any other fattening foods, because the issue is not in their weight They are proportionate to their height, which is good, but overall they are still small.

5) We will go back and in three months and check out how they are growing based on their weight AND height and go from there. He has told me to just continue feeding them as I am; and that their size is not indicative of nutrition, so that made me feel better :) Basically if I fed them more and more, they would just get wider, which is not good :)

So, we feel a lot better after talking to him and we'll just take the next step as it comes. Worse to Worse, they will probably not be NBA Basketball stars :)
