As I write this, Poppy is laying with her head in the crook of my elbow. So excuse me if my typing is off!

I can sit here for hours and just look at her. The way her eyebrows are starting to grow in while the hair on her head is disappearing...though it looks like there is new peach fuzz to make up the difference.

But the way she moves her lips, the way she turns deep red and back to normal coloring in a matter of seconds, and the way she goes from a peaceful, almost angelic, expression to one of pure frustration instantly, all amaze me.

We went to the pediatrician today for our 1 month check up (really 5 weeks). The girls have both put on more than 3 pounds since birth. Poppy weighed 7lbs 2oz and Matilda was 7lbs 9oz. Both were 19.5" in length.

Gina said it's no wonder they're fussy, we'd be fussy too if we just about doubled our weight in a month. I guess I'll cut them some slack...for now!

absolutely incredible that they have doubled in weight in just 5 weeks. absolutely a sign of a happy home! Speaking of which, can I move in for 5 weeks and be fed 3 squares a day and sleep the rest? I promise not to fuss! (well, not too much)

much love to all of you!

It's so fun to read about them! Gald to hear they are both doing so well and growing like weeds.
