The girls are one month old today! I'm going to throw out the mom cliche ... where did the time go??? Seems like just yesterday I was admitted to the hospital for preterm labor. ;) Since I wanted to do something to celebrate this milestone, I brought in mini chocolate chip cookies and brownie bites for the NICU staff. I hope they liked them!
Hazel was 3 pounds, 13 ounces today ... 1 pound and 2 oz over her birth weight.
Abigail was 3 pounds, 8 ounces today ... 1 pound over her birth weight.
They were checked out by the eye doctor today. Abigail was normal, and will get the regular checkup in 2 weeks. The doctor detected something with Hazel, though (something that thickened? lots of medical talk), and will follow up with her in a week. At this point, it is just something they are watching...not yet something they are worried about. So I'll take that approach as well.
I held both girls (swaddled) at the same time today. Super cool, because that was the first time I'd held them like that together. Of course, the two main drawbacks were: (a) I couldn't decide who I wanted to focus on - both girls were so adorable - so I was constantly turning my head to look at Hazel, then Abby, then back to Hazel, then Abby, and so forth; and (b) no free hand to take pictures! I think I am able to tell them apart now, though. Hopefully. Although we have the birthmark in case I get mixed up. :) Also, again, they showed their different personalities: Hazel kept squirming and moving her feet/hands (and tooted multiple times) ; Abby (who was more tightly swaddled) laid there, looked at me with her big eyes, and then went to sleep.
And...pics of the girls at one month!
