A quickie update from today's doctor visit.

Miss Kathryn now weighs 5 lb 1 oz, while "bigger but younger" Miss Elizabeth weighs an even 6 lbs. The gap has opened a bit, maybe, but is still smaller than at birth. Since both are over 5 lbs, and under 8 lbs, both will continue to get a checkup every two weeks.

Both got good reports, haven't caught the cold or whatever that the rest of family, including Grandma, have.

They are doing a kidney screen on Miss K, because she only the one umbilical artery, like big Sister Victoria, but unlike Elizabeth. (That's probably a contribution to the understanding of that phenomenon, identical twins, one with, one without). They did that with Victoria as well, it's just routine in the on artery cases.
