We're growing!

Today was our first outing. It was an exciting one...the pediatrician's office for their 2-week check-up. Everything looks great and the babies are GROWING!!! When we left the hospital on Sunday, Hudson weighed 4 lbs, 14 oz. and Kennedy weighed 4 lbs, 11 oz. Today, Hudson weighs 5 lbs, 7 oz and Kennedy weighs 5 lbs, 3 oz.

Our pediatrician's office is close to home and even though I chose the Dr. Newton based on several referrals I was still a little nervous to see how today would go. Overall, I would say the babies did great. By the end of the appointment we got pretty close to feeding time so Hudson was wailing, but as soon as a bottle was pulled out (thanks dad) he was a happy camper and Dr. Newton didn't even flinch. He's super nice, answered all of our questions, and was speedy without feeling like we were rushed or unimportant. I will say the main lesson learned today was that it takes us MUCH LONGER to get ready to leave and we must leave way earlier than intended...yep, we were 10 minutes late to the appt and it wasn't because I wasn't ready (that's usually the case). It just took more time than we anticipated to double-check that we had everything, load the car, etc. I'm sure we'll get it down sometime!

Congrats on making it to the doctor! It's a task!
I love looking at the pics of your little ones---twins are just fascinating to me! They are adorable!

Tell me about the taking forever to leave the house thing! I can only imagine with twins. I have determined it takes me 3 hours to get myself showered/ready and Kendall bathed/ready. Does that double with twins??????? If yes, might as well just stay home =) Can't wait to see them!

Congrats on the good visit and that they are GROWING! I think the first doctor visit was so stressful. I have a pic of Matty there and he looks so tired! You are doing great, Mom, if you were only 10 minutes late with TWO babies! GOOD JOB!

It looks like you guys are doing a great job, only 10 min. late with 2 babies, I think that might be a record! : ) And you'll just get faster and faster. I'm so happy to hear that they are gaining weight and doing great! I can't wait to read about all your adventures with sweet twins!
