Thankfully my mom has come to stay and help me with the babies during the day. We had a busy afternoon today including a trip to the lactation consultant and Josie's first Dr. Appointment.
Both the LC and Dr were impressed with the twins. They are eating well, sleeping well and popping well - everything a baby should be doing.
We also weighed the babies today. Josie is a woping 4 lbs 15 oz and James is a mammoth 5 lbs 12 oz. They are both exceeding the goal of gaining 15 -30 grams per day, which makes us very happy parents.
Today we also got to meet our new family Dr. She is amazing. Very kind, attentive and compassionate. Because the twins are so tiny she will be seeing them once per week until they are 2 months old so that we can track their weight gain. Despite being little they are developing well. Both James and Josie are developing their neck muscles during tummy time and are able to follow our voices with their eyes and heads when we talk to them.
Tomorrow we are going to be having a quiet, easy day at home to avoid the cold. Bundle up everyone.
