Well, the kids turned 1 week yesterday! We had a busy day! They slept pretty good through the night - every 2-3 hours and sleeping awesome! We are changing LOTS of diapers and in 2 days we went through an entire box of 64 wipes! YIKES! I've been pumping instead of nursing so David and mom can help with the feedings - and we've been making formula - it's like an assembly line!
On Tuesday, the twins had their 1 week check up at the pediatrician. Dr. Feudo is really nice and down to earth! She asked me a few times if they had my due date wrong because the babies were smiling, full of emotion and Matthew grabbed her hands and pulled himself up...HE'S A WEEK OLD! They enjoyed their trip to the doctor - I hope all trips are like that - but I don’t think I will be that lucky! Matthew is now 6lb13oz and Arianna is now 6lb8oz - they went home from the hospital at 6lb5oz (M) and 6lb3oz (A). So she said they are growing great and doing very well!
From there, Mom and I made our first trip to Walmart & Target with the babies! What an adventure! We each had a shopping cart and the babies slept the entire time! We were out and about for about 4.5 hours and they were happy, smiling and sleeping the entire time. We needed some last minute "stuff" that I didn't think I needed - but figured it would make my life easier.
David went back to work on Monday - so he misses the babies during the day. It's sad with out him here, but Mom has been such a huge help. She's done probably 16 loads of laundry (since Saturday), made probably 100 formula bottles, and she's a pro at my bottle steralizer now!
Well I'll post more later - Mom just ran to CVS and back to walmart - its my first time alone w/the babies and Matthew is waking up from his nap! Arianna is sitting here smiling!
