We're Sick!

By chance we had our 2 year routine check up today but we were lucky because Cameron came down with something yesterday, had a bad night last night and was worse this morning. Turns out she has bronchitis and an ear infection! This is the first ear infection for either baby so it's hard to see her hitting her head trying to get inside to her ears to make them feel better. And she has a whole farm of frogs in her throat! Poor girl. Please be in prayer for Cameron, she is coughing so much, it's hard for her to sleep...but sleep is really what she needs right now.

As far as our 2 year check up, sickness aside, both toddlers are good but way under weight! Ugh!! Everything else about them is normal (height, head, etc) except for their weight. They just aren't putting on the pounds on. It appears they have a super high metabolism and are burning more calories up than they are taking in. So we met with a nutritionist there and got some great ideas on high calorie meals and snacks. And it comforted me to know that some of the troubles I have feeding them is just a toddler thing...like Timo taking 2 bites of his lunch and then saying "all done" so he can get down and play. She gave me some helpful hints/tricks to get them stay seated longer and eat more...let's hope it works! We go back in 6 weeks for a reweight...
