Avocado!!!

We got the go ahead to start food this week, Ella has been getting cereal in her bottle for some time now (beacause of reflux and added calories) so we started with avacado. It is really good for them and has the added good fats to put some weight on the girls. We are doing cereal too, just not that much.

4 month check up

We went today for our four month check up. The girls are hitting all their developmental milestones and look perfect. Maegan weighs in at 12.4 and Ella is our tiny little thing at 9.12. We have to go this week for some blood work for Ella just to make sure that her weight is not due to some underlying issues. Will keep ya posted!

UPDATE: Taking Ella to get her blood drawn was just plain awful! They could not get a draw from her arms because as they said "the head of the needle is bigger then her veins"! So they did a finger prick instead. We left on Friday and got a call they forgot to do another test so to come back on Monday. It was not that bad this time, she cried for a sec then was over it. We got some of the results back and everything looks good, one of her levels are a little low so we might have to repeat the test in two months when she is a little bigger so they can get a vein draw. UGh she's just a tiny little thing!

Big girl carseats

The girls are no where near growing out of their infant carriers but really do not like them. They just don't seem to be able to get cozy in them. With the up coming drive to FL we thought it might be time to get some big girl car seats and get them used to them before we go. They love them. No more crying when we put them in and if it is nap time they fall fast asleep. **sigh** peace in the car!

First trip to Maymont

after a long hot day
In the middle of Richmond!

Ella is rocking the sunglasses

Maegan is not so sure about them

Maymont is such a great place to take the girls. We took a picnic lunch and let them lay under the trees, then we went off to see the waterfall and the animals. Such a great day.

Own cribs....

Today was the first day they slept in their own cribs. They have been together in Maegans since they came home, but have been waking each other up, so it was time!

Going Home

My mom is in love

Even Maxx helped out!

Brining two babies home is a scary time, thankfully I have an amazing family that was here every step of the way. David's mom stayed with us for almost two week and then my brother and sis-in law came up. My mom was here all the time to give a helping hand.

babies make 4!

On April 13th 2009 we welcomed into the world Meagan Elizabeth and Ella Grace both at 10:53 am. We struggled with infertility for years and finally with the help of some wonderful meds we got preggers. I had a great pregnancy and carried the girls for 38 weeks. They were born at 4.14 and 5.6.

Our first picture as a family of 4!

Time to start blogging

Now that the girls are 4 months old I figured it might be time to start a blog. Things have are slowly starting to fall into place so I might have the time to keep up with this. I am going to back track a little and post some pictures to catch up to where we are now!
