Kangaroo Kids

Good news! Had the twins' second newborn well-check on Friday, and both are doing really well! At our first appointment two weeks ago, Sydney weighed 5 lb, 11 oz, and yesterday she weighed 6 lb, 11 oz, gaining exactly one pound in a little less than two weeks.  This is great considering she has had some reflux issues and doesn't always feel like eating!  On the other hand, Will weighed 6 pounds, 4 oz at the initial visit and wowed us all with a gain of almost two pounds, coming in at 8 pounds, 1 oz!  Way to go, guys!

On the home front, both babies seem to be "waking up" a bit and paying a little more attention to their surroundings, which we expected since they are closer to their due date and should begin to behave like  typical full-term newborns.  Both have decided that they would prefer to be held 24/7, especially our little "diva."  As a result, we have had to be creative with ways to meet their demands, especially when I am home alone with both of them and they both insist on being held at the same time!  My favorite invention so far...the Moby wrap! It allows me to snuggle them against my chest kangaroo-style and still have my hands free to get a few things done, and they both love to be in it. Yesterday I was feeling especially brave and had a friend help me put both in the Moby at the same time before taking a stroll around the neighborhood to enjoy the beautiful weather.  It was definitely a "twin Mommy" moment to remember!
