Docs Appt for weight check

This is how I take a shower. :)

We had a docs appt to check the progress of Luke and Taylor's weight. As the doctor said, they are doing FAAAAANTASTIC and GREEEEAAAAT! lol They gained almost a pound in a week!!!

The doctor also gave us permission to pester them to keep them awake throughout the day so hopefully they will sleep better at night. haha....they have their days and nights mixed up. I've heard of this being common when they are in the nursery after birth. The nursery at night was louder than our room during the day. So at 3 am, they are bright eyed! Initially the nurses told us to not wake them as they rested since they needed to grow, get rest and keep their temperatures up. I feel a lot better now with them being healthier. I am slowly laying off all their layers of clothes which is fun. Nick and I LOVE to see them without all the blankets. It's so cute at the doctors when they check them side by side. This time they both peed all over the scale...lol. Luke got me for the first time Wednesday when I was changing him. I HAD a cloth over him and he STILL squirting out from under it and made swirled pee marks all over my pants and shirt....and I swear he thought it was funny. The poor guy has had gas and constipation the past few days...I did the unthinkable and rocked him to sleep. He was so miserable. They both are opening their eyes more and getting more meat on their bones. Taylor I think gained all her weight in her cheeks! She gets all red in the face and mad if she doesn't get fed on the dot. Luke wimpers at the most and has a soft cry. Hers is an all out scream! He loves when you rub his legs and feet. He's got some serious little calf muscles on him. No fat on his bird legs. It's so funny how boy and girl they are in every way. She's got more round legs while his are boney. They are both more and more adorable every day in my opinion. ;)

Photo shoot without the layers!

We got them in the car seats and headed off. I hate putting them in the car seats. They seem so tight on their little chests. They have to be fastened that way but I worry they can't breathe. And so it began with double paperwork for these kids and double copays! It was so cute they asked us to get them down to the diaper. We did and laid them on the examination table next to each other. It was the cutest thing ever. They are not used to being "FREE" of clothes, hats and swaddled blankets. They were both wide eyed and moving their arms and legs all around. I covered them with a blanket until the nurse was ready. Nick and I laughed so hard watching them. We wish we would have had a video camera. They kept punching each other in the face and looking at each other like "what is going on, where are our clothes, we're freeeeeeeeeeeeee!" They both gained 3.5 ozs in 2 days and 3/4 inches since they were born. They are both A+ blood type which is good that they don't have to worry about having Mommy's negative blood. I described how Luke gets red in the face, twists his neck and arches his back. Taylor does it too but not as much. He said to keep an eye on it because it sounds like acid reflux. They may just need some medicine in their bottle.
