Growing, growing, growing...

Wow, so much has happened this week.  We took Caden to his first pediatrician appointment (we loved her)... he gained 7 oz in his first 5 days home!  He is now a whopping 6 lbs, 11 oz.  He and Linley feel so much heavier!  We almost have a 7 lb baby???  Shelley, Patia and I had a girls dinner Tuesday night and were discussing how crazy it would be if I had carried the babies to this week (39 weeks and 6 and 7 lbs).  No idea how 2 babies would have fit in my stomach at that weight but apparently it happens?


Linley pretty much looks the same to me, just a little bigger, but Caden is definitely changing and filling out.  He definitely takes after his dad, constantly changing year to year... if anyone has seen photos of Trip as a baby/child you know what I am talking about; he looks completely different in every picture.  They are both chubbing up, eating at least 3 oz every feeding now.


We finally secured a nanny for Caden and Linley, what a relief!  With the babies being preemies we were extremely concerned about putting them in daycare, especially during cold and flu season as they are at a higher risk of RSV due to their early entrance into the world.  It is a small world we live in though as we found her through a friend of mine.  I was researching nannies on line through the Plano Mothers of Multiples group and I found a listing for her.  Her previous family was putting their 2 year old twins in daycare now that they are a bit older so she was interviewing for a new position.  I thought the mom's name looked familiar but I couldn't quite place it and after checking my facebook I realized that she was a sorority sister and my pledge trainer in college.  What amazing timing God has!


On another note, my dad, got here yesterday!  Yippee!  Mom has been here this week helping out, she has been amazing!  I have even been able to sleep a full 6 - 7 hours for the past 4 nights because she has been taking my 6 am feeding!  Sleep is so wonderful!


Below are some new pictures of Caden and Linley... hope you enjoy them as much as we have!

What a little heart throb...
