Getting Bigger

Jerame took the day off yesterday and we took the babies to the pediatrician to get their weight checked again. Both babies are doing fantastic and are gaining at the right pace. They have both gained their birth weight back and then some. Carter weighs 6lbs 4oz and Chloe 5lbs 15oz. After our appointment we were all exhausted...it's like running a marathon trying to get us all out of the house. We started the feeding, diaper changing routine at 9:00am and were barely able to make it out of the house by 10:50. It's funny how it's hard to find time to do simple things like go to the bathroom, get some water or take a shower. We are figuring out ways to do everything for ourselves in half the amount of time. We are slowing getting the babies on a schedule and trying to keep them so they are eating/sleeping at the same time. It's not easy. Last night was the first night we put them in their room to sleep. We have them sleeping in the same crib and are doing really well for being just two weeks old! We just can't get any quality sleep at all with them in our room. Especially me, I wake up with every little squeak they make. All in all we are doing fantastic and getting the hang of this taking care of newborn twins thing :-)
