My twin did it!

We went to the doctor last week, just to do a weight check and the doctor was really impressed - Natalie weighed 7lbs 15oz and Kennedy weighed 8lbs 2 oz. Yay girls! Kennedy defintely is a good eater and nurses 20-30 minutes and then will always finish off a 3 ounce bottle. Natalie eats a bit slower and not quite as much as her sister. They are staying awake more and holding their heads up and pushing off with their legs. We are so proud! They are going a little longer between feedings and usually (the key word) sleep longer too. We still have hard nights but we're making it and know that each day just gets better. I'm still getting really spoiled by having Joel home with me every day and he is such a big help! His work should pick up in a few weeks and we will really miss him when he goes back to work. We like to get out a few days a week and grab lunch, go to Target, or visit Grandad and Mims. Natalie & Kennedy are just so sweet and we truly enjoy being their parents. We've also had a few more visitors, including Emily Herrick (who brought me yummy food from Baja Burrito!), Lindsey Purifoy (who gave me some good advice), and Dianne Moore (who had been studying the pics of N & K and was the first person to be able to tell them apart, having just met them!) Thanks for bringing us food! And then on Saturday, I finally got my hair done (had to cancel my appointment earlier b/c of bad weather) and got to visit with Pamela McClure, who also has twin girls. She brought us dinner too! Overall, we are doing great and thankful for all God has given us. Here are some more pictures for you to enjoy!!!
