One month old


So, I know that the babies will actually be 2 months old in 9 days, but I am finally getting around to posting about them being 1 month old. I hope I can keep everything straight and only tell about things up until they were 1 month old.

Joel

Jeremy

Stats:
Joel weighed 8 lbs 3 oz (20th %-tile!!!!), was 20 in long (5th%-tile) and head circumference of 34.5 cm (under 5th %-tile).
Jeremy weighed 7 lbs 11 oz (10th %-tile), was 19.5 in long (under 5th %-tile) head circumference of 35 cm (5th %-tile).
These all are pretty good to us since Jacob didn't make it onto the growth charts at all until he was 2 months old. And both babies outgrew preemie clothes soon after they hit 2 weeks old.

These babies are such good babies. Joel gets some good awake time in every day or so, Jeremy not so much. That boy just likes to sleep.

They got their first baths (and a few more) and it seems like Joel seriously dislikes bath time. Jeremy is a lot like Jacob was - seems to enjoy being in the warm water but take him out and be prepared for the screams.

They are pretty good about eating on schedule (every 3 hours during the day) and we have started letting them just sleep at night until they wake us up. They have gone for a few longer stretches at night before waking up, but the bad news with letting them just sleep is that it means that we don't have a set schedule from day to day. One day they may be up eating at 6am (which determines the eating times for the rest of the day) and other days it may be 7:30. So it is really up in the air still.

Other than that there isn't much more to say about these little guys (I'd hate to give away what's been going on over the last 3 weeks).

They are seriously some of the cutest babies I have ever seen - excepting my own boys, of course. So glad that they are as good as they are. You have got your hands full.
