Week by Week - Week 3

This is a bit late to be posted here, I meant to do it Saturday. The pictures were taken on Saturday though! And we will have new ones this Saturday for four weeks! I can't believe it will be 4 weeks already this weekend. 





Alexandra and Josephine are adorable. Lexie makes all sorts of funny grunting sounds. Apparently they started having bad gas this week, well there is no doubt about that, its loud, sometimes hilariously loud. Also makes you feel bad for their little baby bodies to be going through such a thing. 


They have both started to give us little smiles - whether intentional or not, they are working hard at trying. They have also been noticing their hands a little bit more. Josie really has been noticing her hands and feet more. 

Lexie is still our eating champion and is now weighing 6.5 lbs.  Josie is right behind her at 6 lbs, but seems so much smaller! Its amazing what the half pound difference can do! Though Josie is longer, so she has grown out of most of the preemie outfits while Lexie is still fitting into them. Sort of. I see newborn sizes in the very near future! 

The girls also left Burbank for the first time yesterday and visited mom's law office in Glendale. They were very well behaved. They also met Jen's new baby Penelope Dhuwalia right before lactation class. 


James reports that we took them to the mall, and he brought them to the video game store, but they did not seem interested.  We also sat out on the patio and had a beer with them trying to get them to stay awake during the day time, rather than up all night.

Videos of the Girls

Aunt Becky took these awesome videos of the girls, I am glad we can post them here to share with everyone!




8:26 on a Tuesday Morning


Its 8:26 a.m. on Tuesday, January 28, 2014. Poor Josie is on her third outfit - she peed through her diaper while I was feeding her at 6:30 a.m., then while I was feeding her sister at 7:30 a.m., Josie spit up all over her new outfit and bedding. Poor girl looks a little defeated. I feel a little defeated, not with all the outfit and bed changes, but just the fact that it took 2 hours to get the two girls fed and diapers changed. The cycle will begin again at 9:30.

The girls and I after taking a nap yesterday, January 27. 

My mom has been here since Saturday and it has been very nice - especially with helping James and I break the "shift routine," that had been working really well, but couldn't last forever! We are now kind of going to bed at 9/10 p.m. and waking up at 7/8 a.m. and handling the three night feedings together. Though James is going back to work on Monday, so we will need a new routine then. He is sleeping 8 hours now, but wakes up at 10/11 a.m. so clearly that wont work.

Dad with his little ladies on January 7.
The girls are not exactly on a schedule, but since they eat every 3 hours or so, they eat at 11ish, then again at 3ish and again at 6ish. Last night it was more like midnight, 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. Josie is in a growth spurt and is eating a lot more often than Alexandra.
