3 months

Wow, Lizzie and Paul are 3 months old - a quarter of a year. Of course, their adjusted age is only 2 weeks. They are starting to stay awake a little more and are sleeping longer between bottles - sometimes a whole 5 hours!!! I'm getting ready to go back to work on Monday. Charlie is staying with them the next 2 weeks and then they'll start daycare. I'm still shocked all the time at how much they've grown. Charlie and I think they're sooo big (although most of the comments from others revolves around how small they are). Here's their 3 month pictures.

Paul's surgery

Small Paul had a hernia on his right side and a small one on his left side. They were causing some fluid build up. Yesterday he had surgery to take care of them. Everything is good now and he's home doing fine. They had him stay overnight due to how young he is - as there can sometimes be complications with the anesthesia. He didn't like the hospital room and had trouble sleeping, although once I gave him his snoodle (from the NICU) it helped.

Playing at home

We're still doing good and mainly playing around the house. At the latest doctor appointment on March 13, Lizzie weighed 10 lbs. 4 oz and Paul weighed 9 lbs. 13 oz. We have started taking the babies out more. They have visited our work and attended their first Eastern Star and Rainbow meetings. Here are some more pictures of us playing and them getting a bath.

2 Months

Well, the babies are now two months old. They had another check up last Tuesday and they continue to grow. Lizzie is 8 lbs. 4 oz, 20.25 inches and Paul is 8 lbs. even, 19.25 inches. Unfortunately, they had to get a shot - which they didn't like at all - and they will get another shot today and some more next week. All in all, they are doing great. Lizzie has even stayed awake a couple of times after feeding and played on her mat and got in some tummy time. Here are some pictures from their 2 month "birthday".

This is our favorite - the babies have such cute expressions



Their hands are striking the same pose - they did this several times.
