Big babies!

My babies are growing so fast! Last week my mom and I weighed them on her scale (weighed me, them me and them) and according to her scale, Lucas is about 9lbs and Megan is about 8. Craziness! Lucas is already starting to fill out his jammies and soon, I am afraid that her will out-grow them! We also had to graduate him to them next diaper size! I am sure Megan is not far behind him!

4 weeks

I cannot believe my babies turned 4 weeks old yesterday! Where have those weeks gone?!?! They are growing so well and developing their own little personalities! Lucas is still much bigger than Megan and is much more alert than her. After eating he will stay wide awake and just look around. He seems to be starting to track things with his eyes...but we still can't tell what color they are going to be! Megan is starting to be awake more too. I think as she gets bigger, the awake time will start to increase. They both love sleeping on their bellies, and if the cannot be consoled, tummy time is sure to help!

They are both sleeping decent at night. They each sleep about 3-4 hrs at a time, and sometimes (if we are lucky) it is more. I will take the 3-4 hours, though. It could be worse! I have essentially stopped breast feeding, but am still pumping, so they are getting all the goodies thy need. Lucas never regained interest and Megan would suck so fast an not swallow, she lost 1/2 of what she took in all over herself or me. It is nice bottle feeding, though, especially since Nate can help with that. This way we take turns getting up and we get some decent sleep.

We are going for our first pictures tomorrow and gonna get family ones taken too! I will post them as soon as I can!

I go back to work in 2 weeks.......I don't know if I am going to be able to handle it. I will probably cry all day! At least for the first week, Nate will be home......but I am not ready to let someone else take care of my babies!

2 Week Check-up

Yesterday Megan and Lucas had their 2 week check-up with with pediatrician. They both are doing well and have regained their birth weights....and then some! Megan now weights 6lbs 5oz and Lucas is 7lbs 2oz. Lucas also grew 3/4 in taller! I think he's gonna be a big boy!

Things otherwise are going well. They are each sleeping 3-4 hours at night....unfortunately not waking at the same time! Lucas is still not breastfeeding, but he is still getting good breast milk by bottle. We are trying to learn all their little quirks, including their cries but it is tough. I am proud that I know who is who when they are crying. The details will come, I am sure.

I still can't believe they are mine and that they will be 3 weeks old in 2 days! I don't think I could love and two things more! It's amazing!
