One Month Check-up

Here are the girls all buckled up headed to their one month check-up:

Vivian being weighed-8 lbs 8.8 oz

Helen being weighed-6 lbs 3.8 oz. She always rolls like this when she's on the changing table too. We think it is so funny, because she stays so stiff-she looks like a little bowling pin rolling from side to side. :)

We were so proud of our girls! They both gained about two pounds since their two week check-up!

After the girls were weighed, we waited back in our room. The girls still don't like to be undressed, and so they were very upset that they had to wear only their diapers to be weighed. My husband wasn't able to go to this appointment, so I was on my own. Desperate times call for desperate measures! I had their nurse snap this picture while I held them both in an attempt to calm them down-it worked pretty well!

Vivian passed out while waiting for her shots-little did she know what was coming. Doesn't she just look so sweet?!

Helen ready on the table and waiting for her shots.

Helen after her shots. She was so upset! You can see from her little eyes that she had been crying very hard from her shots. She looks like such a sweet little elf here!

Overall, the girls did really well considering they had to share me, and got a couple of shots. It was a great learning experience for me, as I learned how to get out and about with the girls on my own.

Sleeping on Daddy:

Holding her bottle for size comparison. :)

Vivian sleeps in the craziest positions! We have no idea why she does this, but she love to sleep with her head completely bent back. It doesn't seem very comfortable to us, but she does it all the time!

Hanging out on her Boppy. I love that smile!

Drinking her bottle. Doesn't it look so huge-it covers half her face! 

Helen also sleeps in some crazy positions. Mostly they consist of her getting at least one arm out of her swaddling-she's a little Houdini!

Since the girls are still so little and young, we don't really do very much. Their days pretty much consist of eating, sleeping, and filling their diapers. :)

Here I am holding both the girls. Helen was needing a little bit more comfort than Vivian, who you can see, was sleeping soundly. Helen is wearing a little gown, they are always too short, but way too baggy-our little string beans!

Here the girls are in their Boppies. Right now they still need their pacifiers to calm down enough to sleep, so I rolled up swaddling blankets and used those to hold the pacifiers for the girls. It can get a little difficult sometimes to calm both of them at the same time, so I was really relieved that this worked! 

We are having so much fun getting to know our girls more and more everyday. We love them so much, and they are so sweet!
