We went to the doctor's office yesterday for a "weigh in" to see if these little skinny things are actually putting on what they need, and it seem that indeed they are! Carter was 5 lbs 1/2 oz and Logan (the little tub) was 4 lbs 5 1/2 oz. The doctor said they look very good and even gave permission to let them sleep a little longer in between feedings! (We were waking them up every 3 hours whether they were hungry or not, resulting in a few very sluggish and unproductive feeds.) We can't go for more than 5 hours, but I have to say that seems like an eternity compared to what we've been doing! We were shooting for 4 hours during the night, but only made it 3 1/2. Still, the boys woke up on their own and ate much better. It's still just sleep, eat, poop and pee for them for now, (along with the 14 loads of laundry we do every day in between since their little butts are still too small for the preemie diapers, so often they wake up wet), but we're getting there!!

Here are a few more pictures that we've taken over the last few days:

So...I know that it's been a while, but there are a few things that have been distracting me from my prominent blogging career. The boys are here!!

The boys were delivered via c-section around 5 pm last Thursday (April 30) and were 5 lb 2 oz and 4 lbs 8 oz. Carter is the bigger of the two, and Logan is so tiny he looks a little like ET. They are now 4 lbs 13 oz and 4 lbs 3 oz (they lose weight after birth but are putting it on again). We are all doing well but are REALLY tired since we have to wake the boys up every 2-3 hours to feed them. More details will (hopefully) follow.

Here are a few pics that have been taken in the last few days:
Here are the boys in the nursery, Logan in the background, Carter in the foreground
Here is Carter, still hooked up to all his cords (don't worry, he had it all out after 2 days).

Here is Logan, in the first few days.

Stay tuned for more pics later...I've got to go feed!
