2 Weeks old

Today was your official due date! :) Thank goodness you didn't go that far, you may have been over 8 lbs! :) So you are two weeks old, and such great little babies.

You both seem to already have a personality of your own. Juliet has the funniest expressions and Nelson and I swear she knows what is going on and is interacting with us. She is always making funny faces and has smiled a few times, I am sure on purpose...even though it is quite early, these were intentional. I just know it. She is quite alert often, and although if she isn't burped well, gets fussy and gassy, she is a great little girl. So petite and precious.

Jace is like a little puppy dog. Always sleepy and just content. I think you have smiled a few times intentionally too. You turn when someone speaks and are very aware, when you are awake that is. :0)

Since you both weren't getting enough to eat in the hospital, we started supplementing you with bottles. After the first few days at home, we stopped that and now you are both feeding well. We have taken you to the doctor twice to have you weighed and make sure you are gaining back the weight you have lost, and so far so good. On Monday, February 11th Juliet weighed 6 lb 9 oz and Jace 7lb 4 oz. On Friday, Juliet 6lbs 12 oz and Jace 7lb 8oz. So that is good. When we left the hospital you had both lost about 9% of your weight, so any gaining is great!

You both do really good, mostly eating, sleeping, and pooping..per the usual newborn! At night, you do relatively well. I try to stick to a 12,3,6,9 schedule as much as I can...at night you feed around 11 or 12 then 3, then 8 usually. Which is good, but remember it takes me about an hour at least to feed, burp, and change you both. Then if you are fussy and don't go right back to sleep, I am usually up for a couple of hours. It could be worse though, so I don't think that schedule is too bad. :)

It has been super fun having twins. I am in awe still there are two of you. I just love to sit and hold you both. I love you both near me, and still haven't put you in your swings too much. Next week Nana will be leaving and then I won't have a choice but to put you in your swings more:( but its okay....I will still love all over you every chance I get.

It has been so much fun and such a blessing. I have enjoyed every single second and am so grateful and blessed! Happy two weeks my little angel bunnies!
