We took it like champs

Logan -- 17 lbs 1 oz. -- 25 inches long

Ellis -- 15 lbs. 8 oz. -- 24.75 inches long

Our appointment didn't exactly go as planned, but we all made it through. I left work about an hour early to get to the appointment and Troy was going to meet us there. Unfortunately, the carpet guy wasn't done because he forgot something and had to go back and get it and also got here about an hour later than planned. So...it was just me and the boys at the doctor. I'm a bit shocked that Ellis is more than a pound lighter than Logan, but I'm wondering if she even weighed him correctly. I saw with Logan that she was off a bit and fixed it before finding out his actual weight, but I didn't really watch her move the weights on the scale for Ellis, so who knows. I also don't think their method of measuring length is very accurate either because if it was, it means that Logan didn't grow in length at all in the past 2 months (even though he gained over 3 pounds!). Huh. Of course I didn't remember their measurements from 4 months, while at the doctor or else I would have asked then, but neither the doctor or nurse mentioned anything, so I guess it isn't a big deal. The doctor said both are doing well and commented on their strength as well how laid-back they are. Not bad comments if you ask me! I gotta say I was a little nervous about the fact of giving shots to both of them with only one of me to help calm them down, but it all worked out. Ellis was first (primarily because he'll feed his bottle to himself a bit better than Logan and we always bring a little bottle to comfort them afterwards) and although he did cry when the shots were given, the second I picked him up, he stopped. I gave him his bottle and he was content. Logan was a little harder to calm down, but it definitely helped that Ellis was calmly eating in his car seat, so I could comfort him a bit more. All in all, we all left happy and by the time we got home, the boys were chatting in the backseat. Even now, 2 hours later, they are still awake and playing as if nothing happened. It's almost as if their shots were really a 5 hour energy drink!

On a side note, the basement looks awesome. Tonight we will be moving the big stuff back down there and throughout the weekend we'll be organizing everything and putting it where it belongs. I AM SO HAPPY this project is done and has turned out as well as it has. Thanks a ton to those of you who had a hand in this project. Your help and expertise are greatly appreciated. Once I get the okay from Troy, I will post before-during-after pictures...hopefully this weekend sometime!
