My life has revolved mainly around feeding and diapering 2 little ones, so needless to say I haven&#8217;t had much time to blog, but I promise I haven&#8217;t given up blogging. I haven&#8217;t checked my email or my site, so if you wrote me, I&#8217;m just now getting it.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks after the little guys were born I pledged that I would get back to blogging when they started sleeping through the night&#8211;that hasn&#8217;t happened yet. But I figure I can put up a couple posts a week until they actually sleep more than 3 hours at a time.<\/p>\n<p>In the meanwhile, here are a few pictures from their first week. The first picture is of Eli in the hospital. We spiked his hair. I think it helps to get a perspective of how big\/small they where when you look at them next to their Daddy&#8217;s hands. Like most babies, they lost weight in the first few days of life, but what&#8217;s more amazing is how much they have grown since then. In this picture, Eli weighed around 7 lbs, and in the picture at the bottom Mark weighs a little less than 6lbs. They were really big for twins, and I admittedly was really happy when I looked at them in the nursery and they didn&#8217;t look any different from the singleton babies. That was a great relief for me, because, being a mom of twins, I was at a greater risk for pregnancy related complications, which lingered in the back of my mind throughout the whole pregnancy. I was very fortunate to give birth at 38 weeks and have two big boys. I&#8217;ll add more recent pictures over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, Daddy, Babies, and Mommy want to thank everyone for their well wishes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rachelstavern.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/s-first-week-012.jpg\" title=\"s-first-week-012.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/first-week-012-small.jpg\" alt=\"s-first-week-012.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rachelstavern.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/s-first-week-026.jpg\" title=\"s-first-week-026.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/first-week-026-small.jpg\" alt=\"s-first-week-026.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past 2 months I&#8217;ve been inundated with baby care.
