Thomas came home last Monday, and Nathan came come on Friday! I would have sent something out sooner, but email time has been very limited. ;-) Thomas is a rather vocal little boy who wants what he wants when he wants it, but luckily Nate is a little more patient. We won't speculate about who takes after who... Jennifer's parents are here, thankfully, as four people on two babies seems much better odds than two on two. They are both doing very well and had their first appointment with their pediatrician this morning. Yes, Sunday morning. When we said that we already had plans he said to us that it would be better if they did not yet come out in public for another six weeks or so since their immune systems are a little behind most babies' immune systems. Sooo, we'll just deal with it.
We had a visit this week from my sister and brother-in-law along with their their son, Noah, who is five weeks older than Nate and Tommy. I happened to have been able to see Noah when he was born February 24, because I was trying to get home from Dallas and Boston was snowed in. When I held that 5 hour old, I said that I wasn't sure I could hold anything that small... Little did I know...
We had thought they might share a bassinette but they are just too big, so we are using bassinette and a cute basket. However, Tommy thinks he sleeps in a certain queen sized bed... Did I mention something about Tom letting us know when he wants something?
One thing that we are finding is that while these guys are newborn sized, they are not newborns. Mentally they aren't eight week olds, but they learned a lot more than most babies at the hospital do. They both really need stuff to look at...
So, after eight weeks, this will be the last of these types of emails for a while. Oh, here are the pertinants from this morning's office visit:
Thomas: 7lbs, 3oz. 20in long
Nathan: 6lbs, 8oz. 18.75in long
By the way, they we due June 2. Could you picture Jennifer with 13lbs. 11oz. worth of baby in her? That ought to bring a smile... !
