Flagg Baby Update

Since the last time I updated this the girls have been quite busy. On Saturday night they went to their first costume party at Beth and Scott's house. We were all happy that their party was late this year because if it had been before Halloween Abby and Emily would have missed it. Abby and Emily decided that they should dress like baby monkeys to go with my costume. They are much more fun than their dad who decided to go as himself to the party.


We also made our first trip to church with the girls. They were very well behaved and didn't cry at all during the entire service!

Lately they've gotten themselves on the exact same eating schedule which sounds like a good idea until you've been up with both of them in the middle of the night when they're screaming for food and you don't have enough arms and hands to feed two babies at once.

Here they are waiting for diaper changes at 2am


I did finally find a solution that they seem to be OK with - they sit in their car seats and I feed them there.


This morning we went for a checkup at the doctor. Dr. Garnett confirmed that they are fraternal twins (not identical). Emily had a little trouble gaining weight this week, putting on only 1 ounce and is now 4lbs, 1 oz. Hopefully she'll gorge on Thanksgiving and have a big weigh in next Tuesday. Abby on the other hand has been packing on the weight, adding 6 ounces this past week and is now up to 4lbs, 10 ounces. Abby has been having some stomach problems and has been spitting up after every meal. To help her keep the food down the doctor told us to add 1 teaspoon of rice cereal in her bottles.

That's it for today. Maybe we'll have some more fun pictures with the next update.
