We are growing!

I'm one proud mama!! We had a great doctor appointment today - all of our hard work and "force feedings" have paid off b/c each kiddo has gained almost two pounds in the last 2 weeks! We are excited to report Andrew is 7 lb 6 oz and Daniel is 6 lbs 7 oz, and they have each grown an inch! They seem huge to me but I know this is just the beginning. Dr. Lange checked the numbers twice because he was shocked - and quite impressed. Oh, we Bells are such overachievers!

Now we can go on regular formula (hooray for our wallets) to supplement the breast milk! We will continue feeding every three hours during the day but we can start stretching them a bit at night. We are on our way to sleeping through the night ... well, at least its the first step. Our boys typically wake up every three hours for feedings anyway so I don't anticipate any big gains with stretching through the night anytime soon.

Looking forward to a fun week filled with visitors and hoping to take the boys on more neighborhood walks!

No blog post is complete without some pictures so here is how Robert and I entertain ourselves: The following is a photo montage of Daniel's sleep positions over a period of 10 minutes - what a cutie!
