Happy 1 Month Birthday!

So I'm a day late in posting this, but...Happy One Month Birthday, Andrew & John! I can't believe it's already been a month since the boys decided to make their grand entrance into the world. To celebrate, the nurses made them each a "Happy 1 Month Birthday" sign for their room.

The little boys are already growing so fast. Andrew now weighs 6 pounds 13 ounces and is 19.5 inches long. John weighs 5 pounds 7.5 ounces and is 18 inches long. They're both doing really well with their bottles and are drinking more from them each day.

To make the day even more memorable, they both got circumcised. They're a little sleepier than usual because of it, but are doing well and won't remember any of it when they're older. It's nice that they'll have time to heal before we bring them home.

The last bit of exciting news...no more feeding tubes!!! I think both boys were trying to tell the doctors they want to go home because both of them pulled their tubes out on their own. At this point, the doctors wanted to see how they did with all bottle feedings. So far, so good!

Still no word on the official release date yet. There are still a few things that need to be done before they come home, but it shouldn't be too much longer!
