Big Babies

We went to the doctor today for a weight check. I am so happy that the babies have started gaining weight. Last week at the 2 week check-up, the doctor recommended that we start supplementing with formula since the babies were not gaining weight like they should. Over the past week we fed each baby 1oz of breast milk and 2oz of formula on a 3-hour schedule. They seem to be happy! Below is a list of their weights over the past few weeks.

Foster:

  • March 3rd- 5.14 lbs
  • March 16th- 6.8 lbs
  • March 23rd- 7.11 lbs
Anna Kate
  • March 3rd- 5.5 lbs
  • March 16th- 5.15 lbs
  • March 23rd- 7.0 lbs
I also asked the nurse about Foster's dry skin on his forehead.  He has early signs of cradle cap. She suggested that we wash his head with Sebulex. Hopefully it will help.

Photoshoot at 3 Weeks

One of my old friends from grade school has started a photography business. She was excited about taking pictures of twins.  Below are a few of my favorites. She did a wonderful job. If you are interested in using her, just message me for her contact information.










3 Weeks

Happy little (exhausted) family at 3 Weeks!


The 3 Week Photoshoot was not the best! Anna Kate wouldn't wake up and cried if I moved her so we decided to take the photos on the activity mat.  They love laying on the mat and looking at the mobile.

Welcome home

Today we were all released from the hospital. If felt so good to be back home.  I was sent home on blood pressure medicine and Foster was released with antibiotic ointment for his circumcision.  I am so happy that everyone is healthy.

Not to excited about going home
(Yes the outfits are Preemie and still huge!)



Foster- Such a big boy
