We took the girls to a check up today and they both have gained 1lb in the past week.
Emma is now 5lbs 7oz and Ava is 6lbs 7oz. Emma passed her carseat re-test so she can now use a normal car seat. Yesterday I took them both out by myself for the first time and it was a lot easier than I expected. I felt like I had been doing it forever. It’s funny how things are ending up being easier than I thought they would. Everyone asks me how I manage it with two and I just tell them it’s what’s normal for me. You would think that having two would be hard, and it is definitely a challenge, but when you gotta do it you gotta do it and it just ends up being as normal as taking care of one.
Both girls are sleeping about 5 hours every night now.
Sweeeet. We are feeding them every 2.5-3 hours during the day and letting them sleep until they wake up hungry at night. The class we took at our church about parenting/feeding/sleeping is really paying off. So far everything is going exactly as we hoped it would.
Well I had a minute to get on the computer so I wanted to update but now I need to get ready to go eat dinner. There are just not enough hours in the day! This is the first time I’ve actually sat down at the computer in forever. I’ve been checking email and myspace on my phone while on the go! Hopefully after the house is finished being unpacked I’ll have more time. It’s seriously on the verge of being done. Probably by tomorrow we’ll have it finished. Oh and the nursery is done, I just have to post the photos.
I’ll post more later when I can!

aww that’s great that they’re doing so well! and already sleeping 5 hours is great. hopefully they remain as easy-going over the next few weeks when they’re becoming more aware of everything and of each other.
i’m not surprised you’ve adapted so well to all this.. i bet when you take them out, every single person says something about how cute they are and asks if it’s hard to manage two. gotta get used to that.
