The Twins Are Tied For First Place!

Oh, I know. The Minnesota Twins are through for the year. I think the Vikings may be through for the year too, but that is another tale.
"The" twins are tied for first. They went to the pediatrician today and both weighed in at 6#4 oz! Yahoo. They are growing and thriving. Six pounds plus of sweet smelling baby times two. They only weigh six pounds but manage to keep many adults spinning around their orbit. Mary has moments when she is challenged from the tiresome schedule of frequent all night feedings. Mike's mom and I tried to help a bit this weekend to give the new parents a little sleep. These early weeks are difficult and it is difficult to believe you will ever get any rest again. I tried to reasssure Mary the time will come quicker than you imagine now when you look at them and see how fast they have become a year old.
The kids are three weeks old today. They are also three weeks short of the date they should have been born if they had been born full term. So, are they + 3 or -3? In China they count age from conception. They would be 37 weeks in traditional Chinese culture. Their first days were a little disconcerting but now I see them growing stronger, eating better, and developing their distinct personalities. Go, twins, go.
