Four Weeks Old!!!

It's hard to believe that the babies have been here for four weeks now. In some ways, it seems like the shortest 4 weeks, and in other ways, it seems like they've always been here. They are growing by leaps and bounds. At our Dr appt last Wednesday, Gabe weighed 6 lb 15oz and was 20" long. Graycen was 5 lb 3.5 oz and was 18 1/2" long. They certainly are entertaining too. It is amusing to watch their different personalities come through. Gabe is certainly the "baby." He is noisier and loves to be held all the time. Graycen is very quiet and quite content all the time. She sleeps almost constantly between each feeding, and when you wake her up, she stretches for about two minutes before she even opens her little eyes. Gabe, on the other hand, always wakes up early for each feeding, and when you pick him up, he starts making sucking sounds right away! He is like a hungry baby bird all the time, and he burps like a man! It's so cute to see them both, and the best part about twins is that you can hold one, and watch the other do cute things when someone else is holding them. Thankfully, we almost always have someone else to help with feedings and holding them. I think I have help lined up until the 20th or so of February. That's really good, because there are times when I really need it!!!
