I have been catching a lot of flack for my lack of updates! I am sure most of you know Lauren and Elizabeth were born on June 2, 2009. They are 4 weeks old today. Elizabeth was born at 3:29pm. She was 18 inches and 7 lbs. 12 ozs. Lizzy had to stay in the NICU for a day because they wanted to monitor her breathing. She looked like a toddler compared to the other babies in the NICU. Lauren was born at 3:48pm. She was 19.5 inches and 7 lbs. 8 ozs. She went to the NICU for a couple of hours for observation and then got to stay with us after that. The first month has been interesting! They seem to switch personalities on a daily basis. It is crazy. One day, Lauren is fussy and the next Lizzy takes the reins! They are adjusting to their schedule and are great babies.... most of the time! :) Kara loves being a big sister. She calls them 'her babies'! She has meltdowns now and then (what 2 year old doesn't!), but overall she is excited. She tells us that she is excited to teach them to crawl and talk! I personally want to enjoy the baby stage. They grow up so quickly.
Kara starts gymnastics in two weeks and she has her tonsil surgery in 3 weeks. I will be headed back to work (summer practice and camp!) in a few weeks as well. Next week, Jason will be out of town on business. It should be an interesting week.
Here are some pics.....
