I'm hoping that these boys have the Alderson genes for height!!!  Because we Gimpels sure aren't 75th percentile for height :)  Dr. F also said he would like us to wait until the boys are 6 months gestational age (from my 40 week due date) to start any solids besides rice cereal.  So we will wait another two weeks before we begin.

We celebrated Father's Day with friends from Atlanta during the day and grilling in the evening.  Mmmmm Koreen BBQ will certainly be in our rotation from now on!

NJ girls, Liz, Sonali & I, May 2010, 8 weeks pregnant & no one knew!

Sonali - thanks for stopping in, it was great to see you & Vishal before you leave for Switzerland.

Father's Day dinner ... YUM!

Happy Father's Day!

We had our second to last appointment at Cranial for the boys' doc bands.  If you look at the growth stats above, they jumped 10% to 25%.  They are done with their bands in one week and we will have one last appointment after July 4th (due to their calendar and Matt & I wanting to both attend).  We are happy with the results and excited they will be done after only seven weeks! 

Hopefully we can still tell them apart! :)
