4 Weeks

Wow I can't believe its been 4 weeks already. It really feels like its been a few days.

Both boys are doing very good. We still go through stretches where they spit up a bit more than normal, but we also go through stretches where they don't spit up for a couple of days. Kevin is pretty consistently been eating about 4.5 ounces now. We were thinking of upping it to 5, but he seams content with 4 most of time, so I think we'll hold off just a little bit longer. Alex on the other hand is a picky little eater. It seams like the last couple of days he eats better for daddy than he does for mommy ( finally something that they like me more than mommy, usually when they are cranky they calm down a lot better for Jamie than they do for me ) . During the day the last few days, Jamie said Alex eats about 1-2 ounces for a lot of his feedings. But at night when I feed him he always eats at least 3 ounces, and most of the time he eats the full 4 ounce bottle.

Alex went through a little stretch last week where for a couple of days his poop was very dark green and the worst smell that I have ever smelt in my life. He was a little cranky during that time so I think he might have had a bit of a tummy ache, but all is back to normal with them now.

Kevin has started to occasionally pee through his diapers. They are still in newborn size, and we tried to go to 1s with Kevin, but they are still a little too big. It does seam like it is always either the generic brand or Luvs that he is peeing through, so until he gets just a little bit bigger we are going to make sure we keep using the Huggies on him.

Its amazing now to talk to the boys. In the last few days they have started to be a bit more awake and pay a little more attention to you. Up till now you could talk to them all you want, but never knew they were actually paying attention to you. Now you can sit and talk to them and actually hold their attention for a minute or two.

Well time to wrap this up so I can go to work...boy I hate going to work. I feel bad for Jamie having to stay home and take care of both all day, and I miss the boys so much every day.
