we exceeded our birth weights!




We had their 2 week MD appointment today and Meredith was 2070 grams (4 pounds 9.7 oz.) and Hannah was 2050 grams (4 pounds 9 oz.). They both exceeded their birth weights! YAY! I have not had to supplement them since Meredith came home from the hospital (7 days) and Hannah for 11 days. Now we are just working on simultaneous breast feeding so that I am not feeding one, then the other and never having time to do anything else! It is a steep learning curve! We will get there! I picked the picture for our announcements. I will give whoever actually checks this a sneak preview. It is the one of just their heads. Hannah is on the right and Meredith on the left. The other picture I just like b/c I LOVE baby feet! In that one M is on the right and H on the left. Some of you have asked this ... in the pictures from yesterday Hannah has on the pink and white onsie and Meredith is in the pink gown. When they are sleeping and not making faces, they look remarkably similar. They have different shaped heads, but the pediatrician says that won't always be the case. They certainly have their own personalities, so I am not worried about mixing them up. Meredith has chubbier cheeks right now too, they pediatrician says not to count on that either b/c that won't always be the case either! We do have Meredith's toenail painted ... just in case =)
