Pediatrician visit on Monday went very well. The boys were pronounced pretty much perfectly healthy, responding well, and growing well. Interestingly, they even manage to grow differently. Zev is 11 ounces heavier, while Beresh is 3/4 of an inch taller. Both tracked the light very well, lifted their heads, and Ben even attempted to talk to our pediatrician. We were told to make sure they spend enough time each day on their tummies, basically trying to do push-ups. I am figuring, sit-ups and splits will be next.
The other objective of the visit was a series of vaccinations (two shots and a drink each). The only thing I can say about the shots is that they ain't got nothin' on the whole circumcision experience. The boys complained at being poked as expected, but pacifiers soaked in sugar water did the trick.
Once we got home, we settled in for the next two-three days and braced for impact. The feedings varied. The 4-8 pm time frame on Monday was not fun at all, especially for Zev. Once we caved and gave the boys acetaminophen, they were OK. The night time went smoother. Tuesday and today the boys are a touch fussier than usual, but nothing major so far.

The final round against the stroller has taken place. With the arrival of the correct adapters from the Netherlands, the stroller was finally wrestled into submission. On Monday the boys rode around the hospital like kings. At least two different people complimented us on the stroller first, and then on the passengers.
