Aunt Mary Lou reminded us this week that we had a pool for the babies' birth date and terrific names. We are pleased to announce that Aunt Kathy Duggan is the winner of the birthdate pool with June 24th! Congratulations Aunt Kathy -- you have won bragging rights! Also cousin Jill Lezama suggested Gabriella for a girl's name. Definitely the closest name proposed. Great minds think alike -- let's see if Kathy can guess the name of little Lezama-to-be!
So what is new in the world of Elias and Gabriel? The last two days we have been trying to watch and learn the boys' natural schedule so we can better adapt to it. In an effort to reinforce day vs night, we have started truely cobedding the boys at night. After feedings, they are swaddled together in the same blankets. Both boys seem to sleep better this way and will often immediately drift off while holding hands, or sucking each other's ears, elbows, etc. It is really amazing to see.
Both Chris and Kathy have had "twin moments" this week. Chris takes the first evening shift from around 11 pm - 3 am. On at least two occasions, the boys have awakened at the same time during his shift and he has been forced to feed and burp them at once -- no small feat with infants! Yesterday morning, Kathy was able to get both boys onto the breast at the same time without assistance! Again, a logistical challenge overcome! Many more to come in the future, but we are proud of the small ones day-to-day!
