They are a week old now





























AJ and BJ are over a week old now. What a week it has been. They are really good babies, they sleep a lot and are little snugglers. We have had a concern with them dropping weight. We are working with a feeding specialist at the hospital as well as their doctor to get them to gain weight by monday. We found some nipples that have a very slow flow so their little mouths don't over fill with formula. They have worked great, the girls have ate well off from them. BJ was given a prescription for Zantac as well, and thankfully it is working she hasn't spit up at all today, knock on wood. Daddy went and bought a scale to help monitor their weight at home, and I am sure to calm down nervous, crying mom. It is a lot different being a parent you worry about every little thing, from the color of poop to "Are they breathing?" every two minutes. I hope that the plan we are currently on will work. I have to fight the temptation to put them on the scale every two minutes. I used to be more laid back of a person, not so much anymore. We are doing well with coping with having twins. Ask me again in a month, or even when they are two and bitting each other. I may change my mind. I would like to let my sister Janice know how much I appreciate her help the last two evenings and today. She has helped by coming over and helping us wake the babies up to feed them. It also helps to have someone there to calm down a nervous mom. AJ and BJ are lucky to call you their Auntie. BJ is probably still thinking about the pep talk you gave her last night about eating. She has been eating great ever since, so what ever you said seems to be working. Thanks a bunch. Since the girls are sleeping and I have a half an hour before the next feeding, and changing session, I think I will take a little nap. I posted some more photos for all to enjoy. I can't wait until Monday, they have their first photo shoot at Grace Park Photography (AKA Auntie Joyce) on Monday. So we will be sending out announcements soon.
