Rockin' the Weigh In

Cate and Lela snuck in the special secret entrance at the pediatricians office for their 2nd official post-NICU weigh in Thursday.

Let's review... Four weeks ago on their birthdate Cate was 6lbs,10oz and Lela was 4lbs,1oz. At our first doctors visit last week Cate was 7lbs,13oz and Lela was 5lbs,5oz.

Weight gain being the name of the game for our little birds, John and I have religiously stuck to the NICU feeding schedule, waking them to eat every three hours. And might I add that our girls know how to eat. We've resisted their pleas for steak and milkshakes but their voracious appetites alone seem to have done the trick.

Our heavyweights are now weighing in at 8lbs,10oz and 6lbs,7oz; respectable full term weights if I do say so myself (their original due date was March 5th) and almost a full pound gained by each in just seven days!
