The Carter Twins

The girls will be 7 weeks old tomorrow and I am amazed at how fast they are growing. Today Ava weighed 8lb 11oz and Emilie was 7lb 2oz. Their size differences are really pronounced now and holding each of them is such a difference experience. After holding Ava for an extended period of time and then picking up Emilie, I swear I almost throw her over my shoulder b-c she is so light.

Emilie is still able to wear her little preemie onesies although they are really stretched to their max. She is in between sizes but will probably graduate into newborn sizes soon.

We received our first shipment of online purchased diapers. We currently are looking at 3 boxes of 90+ diapers and lament that this is only a 2.5-3 week supply (a singleton would last for six weeks with that quantity). They are little pooping machines.

The girls had their one month check up today. The official stats are:

Ava is 19 inches and weighed 7 lb 3 oz

Emilie is also 19 inches and weighed an even 6lbs

Now, both girls had dirty diapers on so that may have contributed to their weights… but it is still on the record at the MDs office.
