Update with New Weights and Pics
The girls went for a check up and injections again last week. We were given great news that the girls are very healthy and growing like crazy. Caelyn weighed 5.1kg (approx 11 lbs 4 oz) and Kylie 4.6kg (approx 10 lbs and 2 oz). The actual injections were very sad because they cried like crazy and then had a rough day afterwards, but they've recovered now and are back to their happy selves!
I'm still breast feeding, but only managing to give them around 60-70% breast milk. I've tried every pill and taken ever piece of advice on how to increase my milk supply, but I can't seem to get it any higher than it is now. This cow is officially maxed out :) I'm happy to report though that we FINALLY found a formula that Kylie can tolerate.. YAY! No more diarrhea and horrible cramps.
I'll try and get another video of Caelyn and Kylie so you can see how much they are coo'ing and smiling. It's sooo adorable. They are really starting recognize people's faces and voices now and are especially fascinated with each other. They are grabbing at things and starting to try and put them in their mouth. They are constantly sucking on their dummies or their fists :)
We're starting to work on sleep training, but so far they are stuck in the routine of waking up after only 4 hrs so at at 4am. We've had a few nights where they go a bit longer, but then they go back to 4am again the next night. We're hoping they start to stretch themselves so we can avoid the "letting them cry it out" stage, but I'm not sure we'll be so lucky. Luckily they're still too young and dont weigh enough yet so I don't have to cross that bridge just yet! I know crying hurts me more than them, but still... :)
They've been keeping me so busy that I've been a bit slack on taking pictures. Here are a few that I've managed to get. They have so many cute outfits thanks to all the people who've been so generous. I'm hoping to get pics of them to show you, but it never fails that before I snap the photo one of them makes a mess of the outfit and needs to be changed. It's like they know what I'm wanting and are secretly laughing as they make it difficult for me! Hee hee!!
All in all we are all doing well and coping better than I expected. Now I just want to find time to see and talk to my friends and family more because I miss you!!
Miss and love you all tons!!
Big hugs from us all!!! xoxo
