Last Friday, January 12, we went to the Dr for the girls 1 month appt and first shots. Sarah weighed 7# 5 oz and was 20 3/4" long. Rachel weighed 5# 15 oz and was 19 1/2" long. The Dr was concerned with Rachel's weight and suggested giving her a bottle after breast feeding. I made a hard decision that day to take her off of me and pump for both girls. It's not easy and I have to stay on track and pump every few hours (even through the night) but I am managing to keep up with them. I can't seem to get ahead but I'm able to at least keep up with them. The Dr wanted me to come back Friday (January 19) for a weight check with Rachel since I switched to bottle feeding. Rachel did a great job! She gained almost a pound. She weighs 6# 12 oz and Sarah weighed 7# 15oz. I can't believe how fast they are growing!
I'm going to my Dr tomorrow for my 6 week check-up. That should go well. Then the girls and I will be heading to Aunt Michelle's house for the next few days. We can't wait!! My plan for this week (since I'll have experienced help) is to get the girls on a daily eating schedule. We'll see how that goes. I'll try to give updates from Michelle's house.
Rachel thinks she's a big girl since she's holding the bottle herself!

They are wearing cute little onsies that Grandma Charlton gave them. They say "D is for Daddy & Dog" and it has a picture of Eric and Amos.
