2 Weeks Old!

(this past Monday, that is...)

It feels like the babies have been with us forever so it's hard to believe that they are only two weeks old! They are very sweet and cuddly...love to snuggle with us or with each other. Jackson is still very gentle and sweet with them, though takes advantage of feeding times to get into a little mischief because he's figured out that I can't get up to stop him :) The babies are really growing...you can actually feel that they are heavier! Peppy and I took them to the doc this morning for a weight check. We were very excited with the results. The average weight gain is 0.5-1 ounce a day, which would have put the twins at gaining 4-8 ounces. They blew it out of the water!! Maggie gained a whopping 12 ounces and William gained 9. Maggie now weighs 5 lbs, 7.5 oz and William weighs 6 lbs, 1 oz. Maggie's face has begun to fill out and even though she is still pretty tiny she doesn't look quite as skinny as she did before. Jackson is also filling out a little...maybe a result of eating too much McDonald's while Mommy was in the hospital (yikes!). The babies eat well, fill their diapers more than any baby should and sleep pretty well. We've had a couple of rough nights, but in the morning things tend to look brighter.

Pictures to come...
