3 Week Birthday

Madelynn
Thomas
We did it!!!! No more weight checks! No more appointments until our 2 month in December! Thomas is now at 6lbs and 6 ounces and Madelynn is 6 lbs and 4 ounces. I am very proud of them! It has been hard work....we eat around the clock it seems....but it has really been worth it to see their weights up! Dr. Jester was tickled with the progress! It is hard...I admit. We are supposed to get in 8-12 feedings a day and we usually make it to only 8. We eat around the clock. It is easier with 2 people here as you can feed both at once but with it just being me during the day feeding takes around an hour, then you burp, change diapers, rest and then start all over again. I am still nursing, but we are using the bottles so that we can see just how many ounces they are getting. We are also watching Maddy closely with her reflux. It breaks our hearts to see her struggle to keep her food down. I pray that gets easier and she will outgrow it...as there is a chance she will. Thank you all for your prayers and words of support! Our little ones are growing by the day!

Just another quick word...we had a great weekend with our wonderful friends-family, Stephen, Trina, and Maegan Green. They came to visit on Friday and sadly left yesterday. It was a wonderful weekend of fun and grilling! We are looking forward to their return real soon!!!

Blessings!
