Wow- 6 weeks tomorrow.

Wow- It is so hard to believe these girls will be 6 weeks old tomorrow. Amazing!
Let me just update on their progress. They are doing so well. Today Olivia weighs 5 lbs and 6.4 ounces and Ava weighs 5 lbs and 11.7 ounces and it changes and goes up daily. I finally broke down and bought a baby scale from Babies R Us b/c I wanted to make sure we were always going in the right direction. They are both gaining so well. Give us a few more weeks and they might be able to wear 0-3 months clothes and all the pretty little gowns and headbands we have for them! Can't wait!

They are also getting more alert. Last night they laid on our bed from 5-830 and just made noises and were wide awake. We have also started tummy time. Once a day we put them on their tummy's for about 10-15 minutes and they can both pull their tiny little heads up and turn them all the way from one side to the other. I am going to have to invest in a video camera b/c the effort and sounds they make when they are trying is priceless. They work so hard! They are eating every 3 hours and sleep pretty well in between! They both sleep in their separate cribs in their room at night and we are so proud of them for that! During the day they hang out in bouncy seats, swings, and cuddled together on mine and Jon's bed! Today we got our first round of RSV shots since they were premature we were eligible for those and basically they were a necessity b/c we don't want to risk anything. They will get rounds in Dec, Jan, and Feb to keep them protected from RSV! They also get their 8 week old shots on Nov. 30. That is crazy! We have definitely started adjusting our life to the girls! Yes, it is tiring and we don't get tons of sleep and I wash their laundry about every 2 days and we run the dishwasher full of bottles every 2 days and we have about 38 doctor brown bottles and it's never enough, BUT there is nothing better in the world then these 2 little angels and the way they can light me up and the way their daddy and big sister love them so much! I wouldn't trade all the work and lack of sleep for it any day! They are truly our biggest blessings (aside from Alexis, of course) and I love love love every minute of these girls!
