1 week old

          

We have officially made it through our first week as a family of four and we are doing great.  We were in the hospital for only 3 days and we're all healthy enough to go home.  Praise god for no NICU stay!!!

Monday was our first family outing.  We had to go to the pediatrician to make sure the girls had not dropped too much weight from the day prior.  We left the hospital with them weighing a little less than they like to see so we have been breastfeeding and supplementing with formula.  Maddie weighed 5.6 lbs and Emma was 5.5 lbs and looked great according to the pediatrician.  I was pretty proud of our outing... We made it out the door, on time, with full bellies, and dry diapers.  

Tuesday we went out for our first family walk. I was feeling well enough to take a nice slow stroll around he neighborhood.  

Wednesday we introduced the girls to moms favorite store TARGET and then picked up a few last minute items we needed at Buy Buy Baby. The rest of the day was spent just hanging out at the house.  We've been loving the Twin Z pillow for the girls.  

Thursday we just kind of hung around and stared at our babies and took another stroke ride with our big floppy hats 

Friday we had a busy day full of pictures. We had a photographer come to the house and take pictures of the girls ... Here's a sneak peak of our photo session 

  We've had quite a busy week which also included lots of visitors getting to meet the girls for the first time.  We are so in love and just can't get enough of these two little ones.
