So we've been home for almost two weeks now, and the boys are doing great! Since we have been home, we have been to the pediatrician twice. The boys are right on track with their eating and weight gain. Max is nearly 6 pounds and 6 ounces and Alex is now 5 pounds 12 ounces. With the boys weighing a total of 12+ pounds at a gestational age of 38 weeks, I cannot imagine how I would have carried them inside of me to full term! The boys have now outgrown the preemie sizes and their newborn clothes are fitting them quite snugly :)
Andy and I are quickly adjusting to meeting the needs and demands of these little guys. They don't need much, but what they do need (food, burps, and diaper changes) they need often (every 3 hours)! We are amazed how most of our day and night consists of nothing else but making bottles, feeding the boys, changing the boys (often twice in one go), burping (Max likes to hold on to his burps for a while), and doing dishes and laundry. Occassionally, we get to sneak in one hour naps here and there! So, as you can tell, it's been hard to update the blog. However, we recognize that there is only a short period of time when they need us like this and we are happy to do it.
I will be posting some new pictures of the boys soon (hopefully today, but they seem to be calling the shots around here right now :)
