Hannah and Kate had their 4 month old checkup yesterday. It’s so hard to believe they are already 4 months old. Time goes by so quick, but I know it’s even harder to imagine them as 4 months old because they don’t act like it. The doctor said that everything looks great. Hannah weighs 8 lbs. 13 oz. and Kate weighs 11 lbs. 3 oz. For her corrected age (by her due date), Kate is in the 90th % for her weight. What a chunky monkey! I have now nicknamed Hannah my little midget because for her corrected age, she is in the 5th % for her height. As if she didn’t already have the Lantz shortness working against her. They both smile a lot, giggle a little, coo, and are staring at toys.
My other baby…George. He’s doing much better. He got the anti-venom on Sunday evening. The effects were very fast and he began to feel better. His swelling has gone down, but there is a rainbow of color along his entire leg. His bloodwork was reading normal again and as long as it remains so, they want to get him mobile and he should be coming home in the next couple of days. We got to sneak the girls in to see him yesterday and he loved that. He misses them a lot.
Thanks so much for all of your prayers. We had no idea that this is what the Lord had planned for our family, but we trust that He is soveriegn. We are a bit puzzled as to what “lesson” that may come from this, but we are open to His will and are just so grateful that it wasn’t worse.
