Day 5: The Twins’ One Week Birthday

Monday, August 11th, 2008 by Sean

Today we took the twins for their first pediatrician visit.  They are both doing very well, and have almost gained back all the weight they’ve lost since birth.  Riley is now 5 lbs 4 oz (down 1 ounce) and Veronica is 5 lbs 8 oz (down 2 oz).  Everyone at the doctor’s office thought they were adorable, and congratulated us on our good fortune.

This afternoon, everyone did a little napping (including Mommy and Daddy!).  We all needed it since last night wasn’t so good, as the twins got off sync and were eating at different times every couple of hours. Of course, Daddy didn’t help things by yelling in excitement watching the Men’s 400M Freestyle Relay (while holding Veronica).

We took them over to Olive Garden for an early dinner and were there to celebrate at 6:12 and 6:13 to mark their one week birthday!  They’ve spent more than half their lives with us now.  After dinner we took some birthday pictures (below) and Candy and I had cupcakes to mark the occasion.
