Six Months~December 3rd
The twins are six months! Aren't they so adorable?!? We just love them so much. The girls continue to enjoy spending time with the twins. They want to get them out of their cribs after their naps every single day, several times a day. Since the twins have become more lively and interactive, Jackson is enjoying making them laugh. They think he is so funny!
We went to the doctor the other day and got shots. The twins' stats are as follows:
Mary Catherine: 12 lbs 10oz (4%) and 25 in. (25%) Henry: 13 lbs 6.5 oz (<3%) 25.5 in. (25%)
The doctor said they had dropped a bit on their curves, but she wasn't concerned because by looking at them she could tell they weren't 'wasting away'.
Mary Catherine has a bit of chub to her, but Henry is lean. He reminds me of Jackson's build.
I am constantly dealing with my milk supply, but unless the babies are fussy or appear hungry I am okay with them being a little leaner and having breast milk instead of being chubbier on formula. My milk might go out next week and then they would get formula, but until that happens we will nurse.
I know that nursing them is truly a blessing from the Lord. It was a great struggle for many months, as you can read about here, but for the last few months it has been going well. It has increased my prayer life in that area and my dependency on the Lord.
I don't know how much longer I will be able to nurse and I don't know why my supply is low this week. Recently, I lost a few pounds, so maybe that's why. I guess I'll just have to stay chubby until June...Darn.
