Two Week Check-up

Since the babies will be two weeks old on Thanksgiving, we had their two week check-up today. Both babies looks fantastic! Here's a run down of their stats.

-Harper: 6 lbs. 13 oz.
-Major: 6 lbs. 9 oz.
-Both babies are well past their birthweight and growing!
-Both babies measured 19 inches long. Harper was 19.5 at birth, but the doctor said they sometimes have discrepancies between their measurements & the hospital measurements so not to worry. They're both growing wonderfully.
-Major's head was 1 cm bigger than Harper's.
-Their percentile measurements were all under 20%. It was especially weird to hear their head measurements in such a low percentile since Crain babies tend to have large heads :)
-Both babies have a blocked tear duct making them have lots of eye boogers. These should resolve on their own soon.
-Jaundice is looking better! So nothing to worry about there!
-Overall, they are amazing, and we are unbelievably blessed!

Sweet baby twins are still sleeping all day mostly. I feed them and put them down in the pack & play and they will almost always go to sleep on their own. It's miraculous. BUT, nighttime is not quite as easy. The last few nights they've continued to be more restless and taken more work to get them settled and asleep. They end up in our arms a lot more at night! I do think it's getting better and they'll start to wake up more during the day & sleep more at night soon. I have hope!!!!!

They are nursing wonderfully. We are hardly using formula anymore. Last night Mitch gave Harper some formula because she still seemed hungry and I was just out of it tired. The first feeding of the night is always the most difficult for me because I've gotten the least amount of sleep. Once I get one or two more stretches I find it easier to wake up and take care of their needs. We are pretty much all sleeping in the living room since that's where all of the feeding and diapering takes place. Once they start to settle a little better then we'll move them into our room.

We've taken a couple of walks and they do great! They just stay all swaddled in their blankets in the carseats and take a nice nap. Maddex joined us on a couple walks (when there's two adults to push two strollers) and she looooooves going out in the stroller. She's been doing a pretty good job at home this week. She had a great day yesterday, but she was definitely more whiny today. She's only napping for about an hour and still waking up earlier than usual. All things considered, I think she's handling the big sister transition pretty well. :)

We had two sets of pictures taken of the twins this weekend. One set-up involves Maddex laying between the twins. I can't wait to see the pictures! They are going to be absolutely phenomenal! Speaking of pictures, I'll finish up with some sweet shots that we got of the babes today!
