the two brothers



The Two Brothers
or "The Wittle Ones" as Stella calls them.


.


NICU math lesson:

Can you believe that both of them together weigh what Stella weighed at birth?


Adam, 4lbs 2 oz + Ben, 4lbs 1oz

=


Stella, 8lbs 3oz

The Toad ............. The Pretty

First bottle feedings!



At 34 weeks they start preemies on the bottle. On their second day the boys ate their
entire bottles! The nurse and OT were shocked - they said it's very uncommon for
34 weekers to do this... we were not surprised in the least. We're getting the extra fridge
ready in the garage and are upgrading our Costco membership!



Ben - still figuring it out

Adam, holding his own bottle

LOVE the picture of you holding both babies. I remember when mine were little enough to hold like that. I loved it. Those are some sweet, sweet little boys!
