They had a little check up yesterday and my little turkies gained 12 ounces in one week! Emma is now 7lbs 15.5 ounces and Molly is.....8lbs 3oz!!!!
Yesterday we had to return a lot of newborn size boxes in exchange for the next size up.
I put the biggest preemie sleeper they had on them last night and quickly realized that it will be the last time they wear it or anything preemie. They were slowly out growing certain preemie things but they have now officially out grown all of them.
As if I wasnt washing their clothes enough, it looks like I will be washing them even more now because they do not have as many newborn sleepers as they did preemie.
But Im wondering how long they will even be in the newborn sizes with them gaining close to a pound a week. My little chunks.
Yesterday we went into walmart to take back those diapers and I was in a rush because I also had to try and get to the drug store before they closed in the next hour to pick up a prescription, and we were stopped 3 times before I was there even 5minutes. I feel like a celebrity whenever I am out in public with them. People stare, and whisper, and come up to us and stop us. But I really dont mind showing everyone how beautiful my girls are! :)
I believe my poor little Emma is getting sick with a cold again! I really hope it doesnt take her as long this time to get over it as it did last time. Im assuming it will only be a matter of days that Molly catches this. I hate when my poor girls are sick!
We are having a shower June 5th for them. This was scheduled to take place back in Feb. but it got post poned due to me being in the hospital. Im not expecting it to be a huge turn out because so many people have came to the hospital or our home to bring us baby gifts but it will still be a nice little get together for the ones who are able to come. Im excited about it because Molly and Emma will be the special guests so several people that havent seen them yet will get too. :)
I have come to learn to find humor in the small things that could very possibly be frustrating to me if I allowed it too. For example, when I put the girls in their carseat and they do not want to be in it, they will SCREAM until they are purple. And their cry is such a deep strong loud cry when they get really angry! Sometimes I just have to chuckle about it because when I am driving down the road and they HAVE to be in their carseat what else can I do?? As soon as you pick them up they stop crying immediately! They can be just a little demanding at times about certain things! Neither one of them like their medicine. They will either refuse to open their mouth, hold the medicine in their mouth and let it slowly drool out, or they will gag themselves until they throw it up. They are something else! :)
I have also learned that when they are restless and fussy that when I lay them on their belly and pat their butt they get comfortable really quickly and doze off to their happy place. Of course, I cant do this at night because I dont let them lay on their bellies when I am asleep. But during the day this trick has come in handy often!
They are both awake a lot more during the day now and they are very active!
Today I laid them in their bassinet next to eachother while I was in the kitchen and next thing I know I hear the scream...I can always tell when one of them is having a reflux attack by their cry...its a painful scared type cry they only get when this happens. So I run in the living room and poor little Emma is wearing Molly's throw up! And Molly was just a screaming her little head off, and Emma was just staring at her so peacefully, like..."did you really just do that to me?" lol
They are both trying to roll on their side now! They havent mastered it yet but its coming!
Here is a picture of the girls on their 10 week birthday and a picture to compare them to 4 weeks ago!
