Birth Annoucement

I could not find any twin annoucemets that were reasonably priced, so I just decided to design one myself. It was a lot of fun!

2 month check-up

The boys went in for their 2 month check-up this week! They are both healthy, thriving little boys, who are gaining a ton of weight every week! I was very surprised at how much they had gained since their last checkup. Lucas weighed in at 9lbs 9oz, and Dylan at 9lbs 4oz! That means that they have been gaining over a half pound a week, which is tremendous for premies!! We are so excited about it! They also got their shots, however, which was much less exciting...but, we got through it, and the boys are taking it like champs. Both boys are holding their heads up really well, are looking straight at our faces now, smiling on purpose (which is SO fun!), and starting to coo also. We are loving getting to know them and their little personalities!

Family Pic

I realized that the picture I put together was pretty small, so here is the larger version of our family picture. :)

Erin update

Thank you everyone for your prayers for us and our family. You have all been so generous to us, and I have had so many people asking about my knee. We really appreciate all of you! Update on the knee: I somehow managed to tear my miniscus again, in two places, and unfortunately do need surgery at some point. I don't have to do it right away, but it does need to be done. So, we are shooting for sometime at the end of September, when the boys should be on more of a schedule, and it is easier to have someone here to help take care of them. I can walk on it fairly easily now, which is a blessing, though I still have trouble with stairs. I am very grateful that the surgery doesn't have to be done right away though.

We finally took a few family pictures the other day, and wanted to share them with you all! The boys have their two month appointment next week, so we will see how much they weigh then. But, we are guessing that they are about 8 to 8 and a half pounds by now. Growing machines! They are doing so well for premies, we are very thankful!

Little man outfits

We had fun dressing the boys in cute little outfits today....and I just had to share. :)

5 weeks old!

Hi everyone! I can't believe that it has already been almost six weeks since the boys were born. It has flown by....and yet...gone very slowly. :) At their last check-up, both boys were growing perfectly. Dylan was already up to 6lbs 12oz, and Lucas at 7lbs even, with both of them around 20 inches long. We are so blessed to not have any health problems at all....especially with them being premies when they were born. Lucas has started smiling a bit when he has a full tummy, and Dylan is holding his head up really well! They are also eating up a storm!! :)

My knee is doing a lot better also. I have an MRI scheduled for next week, so I will update you all then on the status. But, at least I am able to walk on my own right now, which is a huge blessing.
