Little fatties

We just got back from a weight check on the girls. All that coaxing of the last ten ml of a feeding has paid off.

Eve (birthweight 3 pounds 13 ounces) weighed 6# 9oz last Tuesday, and is 7# 4 oz today (nine days later). They are 8 weeks old now, or at their full term date.

Savannah (birthweight 4 pounds 3 ounces), weighed 6 # 11 oz last Tuesday, and is 7# 3 oz today.

Yup. Eve has surpassed her younger sister. They are eating the same amount at each feeding, but since Eve wasn't gaining too well in the hospital, she is on higher caloric intake. However, even the increase in calories doesn't totally explain the weight gain.

Eve needed to have her hemoglobin checked as well. She had gone from 8.7 to 9.7 in nine days. I didn't realize it could increase that quickly. Looks like its getting into the normal range.

Savannah's "wave" looks so authentic, Halle waved back! Pretty cute.
