First Pediatrician Appointment

We went to PPA today for our first appointment.  The boys did an amazing job and the Dr. was extremely happy with their progress and growth.  Jordan weighed in at 4 lbs 14 oz, and Landon tipped the scales at 5 lbs 1 oz.  I am told that they would like to see babies back to birth weight by 2 weeks of age, so at 11 days, they are way ahead of the game!

This also means that we can soon get rid of the car beds that they had to ride home from the hospital in.  We are excited to have the boys in 'regular' car seats where we can look in the back seat and see their little faces!! 

I feel so blessed that they are growing so well and are so healthy.  It's hard being a first time mom knowing whether or not they are eating enough and if I am doing the right things.  Today was a huge relief and it makes me so happy and proud!

Eric is working 2nd shift this week so he can be home at night with us.  He is so sacrificing as he is missing the Flyers game tonight (it's the Stanley cup qualifier, and he is the biggest Flyers fan I know).  What an awesome daddy!  I'm amazed with how well he is doing with them, and love to watch him just look at them and love them!  I can already tell that they light up when he walks in the room... so fun to see!

We are so excited to have the Purcell side of the family coming to visit this weekend.  Uncle Drew, Aunt Keri, cousin Jack and Uncle Joel will be around, and we are so looking forward to it!  The boys are headed down to the USA/Turkey soccer game on Saturday, and the girls might have a spa day on Sunday!  We can't wait to have everyone here to meet the boys!!
