An Ounce a Day

Two more clean bills of health at today's peditrician's visit. Ryan tipped the scales at 7 pounds, 7 ounces and Lucie is now 6 pounds, 12 ounces. Both of them are gaining about 1 ounce per day.

We expect that rate to slow down as we attempt to ween them off the bottle. Unfortunately for Megan and me, the twins aren't able to get as much from the breast as from the bottle. Since their daily intake remains unchanged, smaller feedings means more feedings. So we're back up to 12 a day (just like during the hyper-feeding period) and once again testing the limits of sleep deprivation.
