Yesterday afternoon, I took these pictures of the kiddles. It was the first time we had taken pictures where they are both awake and looking at the camera.
They are fourteen weeks today. FOURTEEN. That’s more than one-third of the time that I spent pregnant. Which got me curious to know what was going on fourteen weeks before their birth. That was January 9 and I was twenty-three weeks pregnant, staying at work late so I could feel the RJBs kick. And now here we are 14 weeks on the outside taking a picture of Bruiser (l) and Birdie (r) together. Daily, I trip over the wonder of being blessed with these little miracles.
Except they are not so little anymore. Birdie is weighing in at 13lb4oz and Bruiser is a sturdy 15lb0z. We’ve stored away all of their 0-3 month clothes, although they can both still wear certain brands’ three month threads. Birdie is comfortably in 3-6 month clothes though we do have to roll up the pants at the waist a bit. Bruiser, in the picture above, is wearing a certain brand’s 6-TWELVE MONTH collared onesie. At this rate, they will be wearing their winter clothes by October and their next spring clothes at Christmas.
Birdie is assigned the task of finishing off the Size 1 diapers that we have. We excused Bruiser from this assignment after frequent protests - in the form of poop exploding up the back of his too-short diapers. He’s been testing our Size 1-2 diapers for a while. We have one box left of a hundred-and-something Size 1-2’s, but in twinland, that means the supply will be exhausted in about 15 days. Just in time for Size 2’s. SIZE TWO’S!
So much for thinking that twins would result in smaller babies.
Woo hoo. It’s so rare to get two kiddos dressed and awake and not covered in spit up that it’s fun to get the pictures.
TOO CUTE! LOVE THE PICS!!!
Bruiser makes all these funny faces…His face expression is never the same and he sure looks like Bruiser, right?:-) and Birdie is a sweetheart…do their real names start with B either?
So adorable!!!! I love seeing their pictures. They are really growing up!
they look so different! 14 wks?!
Their real names don’t start with “B”. We started calling Bruiser Bruiser when we saw how big he was going to be at birth - and then how big he actually WAS. He also goes by Bruisasaurus, Buddy, and Bubba. Birdie we call Birdie because The Beloved is in the golf business and it was a fun little name to give her for the blog. and it turned out fitting because she chirped a lot early on - particularly when she ate. Even their nanny said she sounded like a pajarito (’little bird’ in español).
just wait till their in size 4’s (which, by the way, they will spend the most time in. stock up now!)
i cant believe how big they’ve grown!! sure, it was bound to happen, but my goodness! their personalities shine through in the photos
good job!!
