I can not believe that my boys are now 3 weeks old! Time has really flown by!!
We went in to see the doctor last week for thier 2 week check up and we found out that the boys are both back up to their birth weights or more. So, that is great news! Cooper weighed in at 4 pounds 15.5 ounces and Emory weighed in at a whopping 5 pounds 3 ounces. I love that they are eating so well!
We do go back in to the doctor this week to recheck their weight and make sure they are still growing like they should. We were told by the doctor that we could reduce the number of food supplements we were giving them. So, that has made our lives a little easier.
We are also going to have to start adjusting to a new plan this week as well. Chris is going back to work on the 25th. So, we are doing a couple of days where I take care of everything before Chris goes back to work just to try and get all of the kinks out of our system. So, please pray for my sanity over the next couple of days. We are going to try to pump and then feed the boys bottles during the day to get them used to it for when I go back to work too. So, it may take a little adjusting at first. But, I am confident that the boys will adjust accordingly. They have been so great so far.
Mommy update: I have officially lost over 50 pounds!! I know I am not supposed to say stuff like that, but I was so miserable in my last couple of weeks and I gained so much weight. It has been nice to lose some of it so quickly. I still have a little ways to go before I am back down at my pre-pregnancy weight, but at least I am closer... Also, I am feeling overall pretty good. I am tired of course, but other than that, I am trying to get out and take walks as much as possible to stay fit. I can't do anything too strenuous until I go back in for my 6 week check up, but this will keep me happy until then hopefully.
Thanks again to everyone that has brought us meals and brought us presents for our boys. You can't imagine how helpful that has been! It is such a blessing to have such wonderful friends and family!
