Lil' updates on lil' ladies

Lil' Genghis saw a couple of doctors today -- some ear problems and croup, which is marked by inspiratory stridor. Whatever that is. Anyway, she's getting treated, and her room now has a contradictory mix of air conditioner, humidifier and air purifier to boot. She's going to be healthier and happier before ya know it.

So the doctor put her on the scale today -- 18 pounds, 13 ounches, or a 13-ounce gain in 13 days ... and she hasn't had much of an appetite since she got sick. That's one ounce a day, or roughly 27 grams per 0.3 metric years.

In other news:

Lil' Savannah had a not-quite-five-month-checkup, Aunt Sharon reports:

She weighed in at 15 lbs., 12 ounces
(in the 75 percentile of children her age) and measured in at 26
inches (in the 95 percentile for children her age).
Doc said she looks great and is a "lean, mean fighting machine."

Lil' Genghis can't wait to meet Lil' Savannah, especially if she can learn some good fighting skills that can help her take over the world.

Lil' Ana Cecilia is expected to make an appearance before her mom and dad, Aunt Piu and Uncle Robinho. We're expecting her in the next week or so -- pretty exciting time! Piu, your sister probably didn't tell you this, but when the baby's coming your belly button can pop out just like a turkey oven timer. Here's to your bun in the oven! Beijos!
