1 Month Appointment

Today the girls had there one month check up with Dr. Trumbull. It went very well. Everyone kept saying, "you're by yourself?" and I was. Michael had to be in court so I was solo. I responded with as much so now people probably think Michael is in trouble with the law! But it was just the three of us as Riley was with Margaret (our fave babysitter), so it could have been worse I could have had all three!

Dr. Trumbull was very pleased with the girls growth and our nursing schedule. We came to the conclusion that Mary Pace has reflux, which is a relief to know that we can do something about it.

We also went through the daily infant schedule and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We were spoiled with Riley when he was a week old and above his birth weight he started sleeping 6 hours over night. The girls are not the same. Over all the girls are very easy babies, accept that there are two of them and that some nights they will go 4-5 hours sleeping and other times one 0of them wakes up at 3 hours on the dot. Atleast it is not every two hours!

Currey Elizabeth (on the right above) weighed 8 lbs 1 oz. (20 %) and was 20 3/4 inches long (40 %). She was smaller at birth and shorter at birth than Mary Pace, but now she is taking over the lead. Mary Pace weighed 8 lbs. (20 %) and was 20 1/2 (25 %) inches long.

My little helper!

This is how we started off our first day on our own! Thats right, Gie Gie left this AM before the rest of us were even out of bed...tear! But we have survived the day so far!  For those counting Gie Gie has been here for 9 weeks and 2 days (5 weeks of bedrest and 4 weeks of new babies).  We miss her, but we know she had to go home, before she heads to Tallahassee to help the Boyd's.

She is not so sure about this. And she has not got the skill set to say "cheese" yet.
