Stella and Maggie turned five weeks old on Thursday. Woo hoo!
They are eating and sleeping pretty regularly now, with the occasional insatiable thirst for milk. If we stay up until a midnight feeding, we can usually sleep until around 4:00 AM before they need to drink again. Then they're back off to sleep until around the time Will wakes up at 7:00 or 8:00. Not the most restful sleep for Patrick who is back at work, but we really can't complain because it could be much worse.
Patti took the girls to the pediatrician's office to be weighed on Wednesday. Stella is now 7 pounds, 3 ounces and Maggie weighs 6 pounds, 14 ounces. Both girls have gained more than a pound in the last two weeks with nothing but mommy milk. Good job Patti!
