Thursday we had our two week appointment for the boys. After peeing all over the scale, Logan weighed in at 6lbs, 9.5 oz, and they were impressed that since our appointment last Monday he gained 1.3 oz per day. After the scale was cleaned up, Riley was next. He weighed in at 5lbs, 15.7 oz! That puts him at 2 oz per day! I was worried that was too much, but the nurse and doctor were pleased with their weight gain. The best part is now we can stop waking them every 3 hours to feed and just feed them on demand. It is soo much easier to get up at night because they are crying than because my alarm says it’s time to wake them up (which can take forever) and feed them.
These last 2 weeks have been very difficult! Sometimes I feel like all I do is feed and change them. Steve and I are both horribly sleep deprived (because we need to supplement, it takes an hour to feed them both). My mom has been a complete lifesaver. She has helped with the feeding and changing, gotten the bottles ready, done the shopping and has made us dinner every night. We could not have possibly made it through the first two weeks without her.
Speaking of which, here are the boys at 2 weeks:
