Sleep!!

Guess what? The girls slept through the night last night! They went down at 8:30 and slept until 5:15. I feel like I can conquer the world today! (haha) The trick? Well, not sure but I think swaddling them helps as well as making sure they are both fed at the same time as well as upping their ounces to an extra ounce before bedtime. Plus, they like to sleep together. I think it helps at night that they have each other and they seem to comfort each other-how sweet!

Crying

It is difficult when the twins are crying at once, and it is even more difficult when Bryson is pitching a two year old fit on top of it all! Researchers say that babies cry an average of one to two hours a day, so you can imagine what it is like with twins-I feel like all I hear is crying, and then sometimes I hear crying when they aren't crying. I can't imagine having triplets or more! We love the girls dearly and we have to keep reminding ourselves that this will get easier!

Easter Egg Hunt

I took Bryson to the Easter Egg hunt today. Grandma watched the girls at the house while we went out and had some fun finding Easter eggs...

...and played on the playground!

 

Six Weeks Old Today!

The girls are six weeks old today. It seems like just yesterday when they were born. Time flies. They had their check up appointment this week. They are gaining fast-Avery is already 8 pounds 4 ounces and Gracie is 7 pounds 2 ounces. They are healthy baby girls! They received the second dose of their hepatitus shot and of course neither one liked it too much. Gracie...she may be little but she sure does have a strong set of lungs on her! Whew, she was not happy about being poked! As far as sleep, they are still waking up quite a bit at night. We are praying they will be sleeping through the night or at least waking up just once within the next month! Right now, we are enjoying our precious baby girls! Here are some pictures:
