Blog posts moving

we are consolidating blogs and sites.  We will now be blogging at http://coburnfamilyoffive.blogspot.com/ and the family site with links and pictures is at http://family.coburncraft.com

Turi's site and the Twins site will remain up for any reason that someday we may want to put something up individually (maybe they will take them over as soon as they learn to type) but for now, we will not be updating them individually.

Sister... Don't spit up please

Sleeping face to face can be a hazard.

By plane

No time on the comp to change the orientation... We are out of town and the twins took their first two plane trips.

Cosleepers

We don't get long stretches of sleep yet. But these two girls are cute little snugglers.

So far our schedule is 10pm, 11pm or 12am, 2am, 3am, 5am, Turi up about 7am and the girls keep right on eating at 8am or 9am.

Some awake time

Two weeks

The girls are two weeks old now. At their check up on Friday we learned that Piper had gained 2oz above birth weight and grown 1.25". Rowann has gained 5oz and grown 1".

Both girls' measurements all fall within the 10th-25th percentile. They are small, but that is expected of twins.

Dad is trying to take care of the house and meals, mom is trying to handle at least two kids at once, and grandma Lisa is on backup with the third kid for now and helping us get organized to manage on our own.

Rowann spent a good hour or more this morning watching her brother and studying this crazy world. Piper has settled down a lot and has been doing a lot of solid sleeping. Both girls and Turi have a cold. :(

All in all we are progressing well and are excited (rather than overwhelmed) for the days to come.

All is quiet

Grandma is sneaking a chance to write a note. Jess is sleeping with the girls. They have been lasting longer times between feedings so they seem to be getting lots of milk and are very happy. This will give Jessica a much needed break for fun things like naps and showers. Thom and Turi are out shopping. They are looking for a good walkie talkie system that will help with the communication between the three floors of our townhouse. Each day the girls and Jessica get stronger so maybe soon they will be able to spend more time out of the bedroom. But for now, the walkie talkies will really help.

Piper helped Grandma do some chores while Rowann had some lunch. After that Grandma had both girls in the wrap while Thom napped with Turi and Jessica got a shower. She taught them how to play bridge on the computer :-)
