3 weeks old and Erik hits 5#!
The twins were 3 weeks old yesterday. Can't believe it. Erik is now 5# 2 oz. and Isaac is 3# 10 oz. They can eat as much as they are interested in now and Isaac is eating more than Erik so he is doing his best to catch up. I am home for a day to get ready for babies. I washed and put away tiny things today. I don't know if I'll ever really feel ready but here we go anyway. Babies should be able to come home in about a week or so if they continue their current progress. The doctors' advice is to be extremely restricted with visitors for the first year and especially during the winter with the risk for swine flu and any other bugs that happen to be out and about. So we are planning to heed that advice and be very careful. We hate to turn away visitors who would love to see our babies but they are very fragile and we would hate it even more if they were to get sick. It was homecoming week in Chester so Ivan and I enjoyed the beautiful weather and watched the parade this afternoon. The parades aren't very long here but the kids don't go short on candy.

It is so nice to hear of the babies progress. They are doing wonderfully!! You will be surprised how quickly you settle into a routine.
ReplyDeleteI will be thinking of you.
Love Mary Holskey
aw shucks! Oh well, I guess we ought not to be surprised. They're pretty precious treasures, and if being careful for a year means a life time of health, well, that's a pretty small price to pay. Maybe you can hold them up at the window and we can wave and make fools of ourselves for all your neighbors to see. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda and family
ReplyDeleteMom passed along your blog site and I was so excited to get caught up on the news and see some pics of your (growing) family! Congrats on the babies, I'm so glad they are doing well. Your older little guy is so cute--sounds like a good farm kid :) Hope things continue to go well and good luck when you get the babies home, you will have your hands full!
Take care and say hi to the rest of your family,
Kristin (Alme) Zellmer
