Both girls checked out healthy at their doctor appointment. Mena is 36.5 inches tall (73%) and 33.4 pounds (89%). Only health discussion the doctor and I had about Mena was concerning her constipation. I'd taken her off the Miralax because it was sometimes giving her very runny dirty diapers. We've been able to figure out that if she drinks 3-4 cups of fluids a day then she's fine without Miralax, but on the days she only drinks 2 cups of fluids then the doctor wants us to give her a dose of Miralax. This new guideline seems to be keeping things soft but not runny so we're happy with everything there.
Maggie is 25.75 inches long (90%), she weighs 16 pounds 11 ounces (95%), and her head measures 16 7/8 inches (90%). The doctor looked at the birthmark on the back of her neck since it's changed color a bit, but he said it was just fine. He measured the strawberry on her left hip and said it's doing fine. Maggie got a set of shots, but Mena did not need any this time. Mena sat to the side reading a book and just ignored Maggie's crying. I guess she figured I was standing by her so everything would be ok. Mena only seems concerned about Maggie's crying if I don't immediately respond to Maggie.
