12 days

Quiet. Stable. Calm. Relaxed. These words have been used more often than not when the nurses describe the twins' condition during the past two days. Though I love to express myself through writing, nothing would make me happier than if Chloe and Bryce continue to be such unremarkable babies that I have nothing interesting to say.

In other news, our kids are huge! Based on a comment that one of the doctors made, Christie and I mistakenly believed that the twins wouldn't gain much weight during their first few weeks of life. While talking to Chloe's nurse, I was shocked to learn that her weight has increased to 825g -- 1 lb., 13 oz! Bryce's weight is up to 770g, and they've both been gaining 10-20g per day. We thought they looked more robust, but figured we were just getting used to their diminutive features. We were thrilled to learn how much they've grown! Print this post

  3. I'm thrilled that you have "unremarkable" babies...actually they're anything but unremarkable, but if that's what they are to the medical staff -- that's the best thing possible right now!
