One Week Down!!!!!!!

08.10.2012
     Two minutes ago marked the moment our boys completed their first week of residing outside of the womb! We just left the hospital and they are awesome! They are both gaining weight now. Elliot first weighed in at 1070 grams, then was at 965 at his lowest, and is now up to 1030. Oliver was at 1035 grams when he was first weighed, 945 at his lowest, and now up to 965.
     They have both been doing wonderfully with my darling Julia's milk. In the pictures you may notice that they have a little tube going into their tiny mouths. This tube is used to put milk straight into their little bellies. Elliot is getting a little bit more than Oliver because they base the rate of feeding on the little guy's weight.
     The boys already have distinguishing characteristics. Elliot is constantly raising both eyebrows, and I will include a picture demonstrating this tendency of his. Oliver loves to recline with his arms raised above his head. It was really cute when he was under the lamps, he would stretch out like he was just lounging on the beach.
