Last post in 2009!

I am super exhausted to do a long post for tonight, but I figured I would do one last post for 2009.

The twins did go the doctor today and Kiptyn now weighs 10 pounds 10 ounces and Kylie now weight 9 pounds 12 ounces! They are getting big! They have also become more alert, which is fun. They love looking at all the Christmas lights on the trees.

Today they were put on Zantac and will have rice cereal added to their bottles. I hope this helps them with all the pain they have been having. Maybe they will also sleep longer! :) That's my favorite part. ;) We are also on trying our 5th formula....I think I am keeping all companies in stock with trying all these different types.

This was Kylie yesterday, 12/31, before she had a blowout diaper! ha. This outfit was from Auntie E, her godmommy, which is why I was taking the picture!

This is Kiptyn pimping out his suit for Eric's wedding on 12/27. He was the best dressed man there, sorry Eric!

All for now, I will post soon with all the recent events that happened the last couple weeks. Happy New Year from all 5 Trieu's!

One month old!

Yesterday, they were one month old! I can't believe it! They are both doing great and eating like champs! Last time they went to the doctor for a weight check Kiptyn was 7 pounds 1 ounce and Kylie was 6 pounds 13 onces. We go back on Thursday for another weight check before their 2 month appt. They are good sleepers as well. Last night Kylie went from 9pm-1am and Kiptyn from 9pm-2am! Kiptyn is up to 5 ounces most feedings and Kylie is still at about 4 ounces.

We are getting ready for Christmas, but only with our clothes. We have no decorations up at all this year. It is quite depressing and I already feel guilty about it. The plan was to have blue and pink lights on the tree for their first Christmas, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen. :( Sorry kids.

I have been taking pictures of them in their numerous outfits for all of the events coming up in two weeks. But I can't post them yet because I'm not sure which ones I will use for a new year card.

First bath

Today the twins had their first baths. Kiptyn didn't enjoy his very much at all, he screamed the whole time. We did manage to make it without getting peed on though! Kylie didn't mind hers, but still screamed part of the time. They both fell asleep after wards.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Their first Thanksgiving has come and gone. They were exactly two weeks old too! We spent most of the day at home and then headed to Mimi and Papi's house for dinner. Their cousins came over to visit them for a little bit.

As soon as we got to Mimi and Papi's we sat down to eat. Kiptyn and Kylie spent dinner time in the bay window in their boppies until it was time for them to eat.

Then we spent the next couple days hanging over at their house. It was pretty uneventful.

Updates

Last week we went for another weight check and saw the doctor we see with Haley. Kiptyn was 6 pounds 4 ounces and Kylie was 6 pounds 1 ounce. So they are getting back up to their birth weight, but still not there. He put us on a stricter calorie diet, so they have to get more formula now. I've been adding to breastmilk. They also had to have their bloodwork for the state redone. We are still waiting for results of that to come back.

We took Kiptyn in on Friday because he sounded really bad when trying to sleep and breathe. Turns out that it is just normal newborn congestion. Poor guy. However, on Friday he was at his birth weight! :)

We go again on Wednesday for another weight check. In which, I will ask them about Kylie's spit up issues. It's like Haley all over again. No fun.

First family outing

Yesterday, we went on our first family outing, not to the doctors! We went to Costco, where the kids and I sat in the car. Then to Kohl's where I went in this time to buy some clothes for them with a free $10! Then we all went into Target. The twins rode in their Cadillac and Haley in the shopping cart, LT and I both pushed one. Everyone kept staring at them and saying how tiny or how cute! They slept the entire time and then I fed them in the car while Haley and LT shopped BJ's. It was an interesting time! And tiring of course, but we survived.

No pictures from it, but here are some recent pictures of them while at home.

Jaundice update

Kylie's jaundice level went down at the last check, so she is getting better! When we weighed her that day, it was the same as the day before.

They are both still a little yellow, but I think they are getting better! They aren't as sleepy as they were before and they are eating like crazy! All good signs of course.
