Captive Audience


Sophie has become very demanding of those who hold her. When Matt holds her, he has to look into her eyes, and nowhere else. If he does look away, she will start by making a cooing sound to get his attention. If that doesn't work, she will start to get upset. Eventually she will cry to make sure he is looking at her. Lucky for for Sophie, there are plenty of loving people around to stare into her eyes!

Two Months!



What a change from our little tiny babies in two months! Although we had to cancel our two month checkup, both the babies were weighed at the doctor's office. Jack wieghs a whopping 9 lbs. 14 oz., and Sophie weighs 7 lbs. 3 oz. They are really growing! Things are changing around our house, as both babies are starting to love playing! Also, they are noticing each other's cries, and crying in unison. Sometimes it's really hard when you are the only one around! Hopefully soon they will notice each other when playing. We can't get enough of their smiles either. Matt and I do anything we can(including standing on heads making funny faces) to get one of those amazing smiles that fill their entire faces. The oufits they are wearing are some of my favorites! I love the coordinating boy/girl oufits, which is one of the fun parts of having twins! On a side note, Matt and I could still use tons more sleep!
Update!
For those of you that heard, Matt, the twins, and I ended up in the hospital for twenty-four hours. We took both babies to the doctors for the cold symptoms that they were having, and Sophie's condition warranted a trip to the hospital. She was having breathing problems called retractions, which is a condidtion in which her body is really struggling to breath. Once at the hospital, several tests were done to determine what was wrong. The tests showed that she has a case of RSV. This is a "normal" cold in older children and adults, but in babies(especially premature ones) it is very dangerous. One of the nurses was able to clear some snot out of her nose, and then she was able to breath very normally again. When they finally let her eat, she ate like a little piggy! She had to be monitored though, and hooked up to an IV. This morning, it was determined that she was well enough to go home. The doctors never tested Jack, but they assume that he has the same thing as Sophie. This virus can hang on for a couple of weeks, and days 5-10 are the worst days. The twins are on day five right now, so we are really praying that they will continue to get better, and not worse. Both babies do seem to be doing better, which is an answer to prayers!

Prayers Please!
Both babies are feeling yucky and fussy today, with low grade fevers, and slight coughs. It's fussy times two! If you could just pray for a fast recovery, and patience for Matt and I in dealing with their cries.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Over Thanksgiving weekend, we made our first trips with the babies. We took a short trip to Grandma and Grandpa Anderson's house and then a two hour trek to State College, PA to GREAT Aunt Marcy and GREAT Uncle Steve's house. The trip was not too bad, the babies slept the whole way. The only snag was that we forgot our diaper bag!

Super Kids!
WOW! Tonight, while enjoying some normal tummy time, both our kiddos rolled over! Sophie was the first to accomplish this feat, and just so that we wouldn't think it was an accident, she did it again. Not to be outdone, Jack, who has never even shown interest in rolling over, rolled over twice! Sophie rolled over once more before tiring out, and needing a break. Both Matt and I were shocked and impressed!

Six Wonderful Weeks


My how fast time goes! We have truly been blessed these past six weeks, with two great kids! We are starting to see changes everyday! Both babies are smiling, and Jack is starting to make sounds other than the crying and grunting that have filled our house the last couple of weeks. Sophie is always trying to roll over during tummy time. She is so close to making it!
Also, at our one month appt., both babies were growing fast! Jack was 8lbs. 3oz., and Sophie was 5lbs. 14oz. Sophie finally grew into newborn sized clothing! Things are starting to feel a little more normal, although sleep is still the one thing Matt and I could use!
We are both excited that in another six weeks, it will be our first Christmas together as a family! I'm sure it will be here before we know it!
