Outgrowing preemie clothes!

Yep...we are outgrowing some of our preemie clothes! We are trying to wear them a few more times until they are TOO small and uncomfortable. I guess we are getting enough to eat!

Here we are wearing outfits from Chad's sister, Joy. Just a short time ago, the legs and arms of the outfits were too long! Not sure if we can squeeze another wear out of these or not!

We have another weight check at the doctor's on Thursday. It will be interesting to see what we weigh in at!

I'll share one month pictures soon!

later, Jennie

if you are happy and you know it.......

raise your arms.



If you are happy and you know it, raise your arms......do you remember that song from grade school music class? Somehow I do and these pictures remind me of this!

We are 4 weeks old! Actually, we were 4 weeks old yesterday....but mommy was busy being a mommy and didn't have time to post!

The visit with grandma and grandpa is going great. We sure like being held all the time. We like to be warm!

Mommy and daddy took each of us outside yesterday. It was nice to get some sun, even if we were shaded from the bright light. I heard rickets is painful.....they kept mentioning it.....

That's about it for now. Mommy wants us to nap so she can catch a few winks....I don't see any winks, so not sure what she's talking about....guess she's sleep deprived!

first doctor appointment.....

The heavyweights have spoken.......obviously, the little chunky babies do not have an issue with eating! Here are the stats from their 3 week/one week post discharge doctor check up:

Chloe:
Birth weight: 4 pounds
3 week, one day weight: SIX POUNDS ONE OUNCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Birth length: 17 1/4 inches
current length: 17 3/4 inches
current head measurement: 13 inches (I only have the CM measurement from birth)

Connor:
birth weight: 4 pounds, 11 ounces
current weight: SIX POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Birth length: 17 1/2 inches
Current length: 18 1/4 inches
current head measurement: 13 inches.

Unbelievable! It's so nice to see them growing and gaining weight. We knew they were both gaining as they are filling out nicely, but to see them both over six pounds is amazing! Their doctor did not have any concerns for either of them. As for Chloe's sleep issues, she suggested trying to have her sleep in her car seat to see if she does better with her head elevated. We will go back in two weeks for another weight check with the nurse and in one month for their hepatitis B shot.

Both Connor and Chloe peed on the scale......little stinkers! Oh well......what can you expect!

Chad and I are heading out to Babies R Us later today to pick up a few things we need. The babies did very well while out for their doctor appointment, so I hope they do well during the longer trip to the store!

That's about it for now.
