I can't believe my babies are already 7 weeks old. Its crazy to think that technically they are supposed to be 1 week old. Both Emmilyn and Lilly are growing like crazy as of last Thursday Emmilyn weighs 7lbs 9oz and Lilly is 6lbs 15oz. The doctor is very pleased with them. They are also starting to get their own personalities. Lilly has become our little drama queen crying rather screaming at the top of lungs when she wants to be held. They say you can't spoil babies until 3months but I know that after we have people visiting and holding them that the next couple of days are hard on me. We also found out last week that the girls are identical twins. My OB had thought they were fraternal b/c they were in their own sacs and had their own placentas. But after the blood work and DNA tests came back from the placentas we found out that they are IDENTICAL. I think she called them DIDI twins which is less common b/c of the 2 sacs and placentas were in one big sac.
Life has been kinda crazy in our household but I LOVE it. Its crazy how much I love these girls more each day. We love this baby stage but are looking forward to them getting older and really starting to interact with us and each other. The day we found out we were pregnant we were shocked and even more so when we found out that we were having two now I can't imagine my life any different. I have to brag on David without him I honestly don't think that I would be functioning :) After my wonderful mother left after 5 weeks he stepped right in. He gives me time to myself when he gets home from work and even gets up with me in the middle of the night to help feed and change the girls only getting about 4 hours of sleep before goes and works 10 hours. I am SOO blessed and lucky to have him.
