Another Day, Another Doctor's Visit

We made it to the pediatrician in time despite the snow (?!) just in time to learn that AleVit is almost exactly at their birth weight! V gained 6.5 oz and A 10.5oz in a week. Way to go babies! Now the good news is we do not have to wake them at night to eat. The bad news is that the Dr. does not think they should sleep in their car seats. I find this to be terrible news since it is the only way they sleep for now. I had just consulted, upon my mother's ballbusting, with a friend who is a pediatrician who thought it was just fine for them to sleep in them. So, do I listen to her and go against the American Pediatric Association or do I listen to the doctor I like and my instincts and let them sleep? Poor V had to have his billirubin checked again (not sure why), which has since come back negative. As if drawing blood from his heel were not enough, he also had to have his belly button cauterized. Pobrecito. They want us back for another visit (maybe they have quotas for co-payments?) next Thursday and I will bring J along for his 4 year old check up. Half of my life this year has been doctor appointments and I do not see any end in sight. The important thing is, of course, that they are growing and healthy. What else could we ask for?
