Dr. Apt. Today!

Today we had our 1 month Dr. Apt. for the girls. They had this apt just to check their weight since they are twins and born 3 weeks early. Great news at the apt.... Ava weighed 6lbs 13oz, she gained 21 ounces in 2 weeks! Which is great! They predict them to gain 1 oz a day and she gained more than that! Ella weighed 6lbs 6oz, up 17 ounces in 2 weeks, so she also is doing great. I can really notice the changes in them with the weight gain. I knew that Ava was bigger because her face is filling out and she is becoming a chunk monk. I love it! Ella has chubby cheeks but is overall smaller framed than Ava. They are both so adorable that Daniel and I can hardly stand it. I am pretty sure they have hicky cheeks from me kissing them so much. They love it though... :) At least that is what I tell myself!

Tomorrow is the day... and when I say... THE DAY, I mean the day that Wendy leaves after being here for 2 weeks and I will be doing this all on my own. She keeps saying I can do it and I know i can, I just have to do it to really realize I can make it. So you can be praying for me!

Last night was so sweet. Daniel took the girls by himself... at his own suggestion... to his parents house 30 mins away. He took bottles to feed them so I could have a break from breast feeding and the Dr. suggested for them to at least take a bottle, so we decided this would be a good way to give me a break. My friend Nicole also told me she gave up one feeding a day to give herself a break, besides, it is nice for someone else to be able to feed them. Daniel had them at his parents for awhile and then took them to see some family friends. This was nice and I was so proud of him that he did that on his own. Wendy encouraged me to let me do this for me... I was worried, not because I didn't think he could do it, only because I was going to miss them both... and him. With the babies it is hard getting time together. Speaking of time together, our friends offered to babysit this Friday while we go on a date. I never thought I'd be one to worry about leaving my babies, but I am... I figure if I am worried now and can do it, then it will only get better the more and more I let other people help.

So big date night soon and alone with the girls tomorrow... These are the days of my life!
