ONE Month Old

(Liam - left, Lucas - right)

The twins are one month old today.  Time sure is flying by fast.  It's defnitely a little more hectic around our house, but we wouldn't have it any other way.  Lucas and Liam also had their one month check up today.  Lucas is now 7 pounds 5 ounces and 20.5 inches long.  Liam is now 7 pounds 10 ounces and 20 inches long.  They are growing great.  It's hard to put percentiles on them because they are considered premature, so they don't fit on the growth charts like full term newborns.  They have until their first birthday to catch up.  In general, they are doing great.  They have a little trouble with reflux, so we have started on some medicine to help with that.  They are for the most part content babies, but with two of them, it seems like one of them always needs some kind of attention.  They are eating every 4-5 hours overnight, with a random 6 hours a couple of times.  That equates to about 3-4 hours of sleep at a time for mommy and daddy.  We are both trying to adjust to life with less sleep.  Lucy is still a great big sister.  She likes to help in any way that she can.  She still acts out here in there, mainly because she wants attention, but it's manageable.  We are truly blessed to have 3 healthy and happy children.  Life is great.
