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.

Finished nursery

Here are some pictures of the finished walls of the nursery. I didn't take the whole room because it is still a mess and being put together!

Weight check appt.

Today we went back to the doctor for a weight check and bilirubin check. They did well other than being hungry again once they were stripped of their clothes! Kiptyn went up to 6 pounds 3 ounces and Kylie went up to 5 pounds 12 ounces. Kiptyn's bilirubin levels went down to 15 and Kylie's went up to 17.5, so she needs to be checked again tomorrow.

After the appt we went to pick up Haley from Kerry's house. The twins got to meet all their big sisters friends! Even though they slept through the entire time we were there!

Kiptyn and Kylie share the same birthday as Brooke and Audrey, so we thought it would be fun to get a picture of the two sets of twins together.
