This week they've been much more awake. Which is fun and also kind of a bummer. It's fun to have their little eyes open more and see them look at us and try to find us when they hear our voices. But I do miss our longer stretches at night. They're pulling more like 3 hours at a time instead of 4 or maybe 5 like previous weeks. But at least they are giving us 3 hours at the same time and they rarely stay up very long after we feed them. I've been nursing one baby and bottle feeding the other. During the day, especially if I have distractions during feeding time (like running Finn to the potty, getting him a snack, changing a load of laundry, answering the phone, etc.) it can take 45 minutes to get them both fed every three hours. But at night, with Glenn feeding one, we can be back to bed in 20 minutes, which is awesome.
We had their 1 month appointment this morning and it was so nice to check their weight. I felt like they were getting so big compared to the teensy tiny way they came home. But today Taryn was still only 7 lbs 1 oz and Kenna was only 7 lbs. 9 oz. Sweet little teensies. They are both growing really well and looking very healthy.
So here they are, Kenna and Taryn at 4 weeks old.
