Weight Watchers

I went back to the hospital tonight to see the boys. I missed them. Donovan and Hayden got weighed tonight when I was back. Hayden grew from 5 lbs 3 ozs to 5 lbs 3.7 ozs. Donovan, however, lost more weight. He went from 5 lbs 2 ozs to 5 lbs 1 oz. Donovan (5 lbs 7.5 ozs) started out heavier than Hayden (5 lbs 4.5ozs). The boys will begin trying to drink from bottles on Wednesday afternoon and I hope they take to it. I don't want to see either of them with an IV again. I also want them to come home at the same time. If things look gloomy, then I may ask the doctor if we can introduce Donovan to "Fourth Meal" at Taco Bell--a for-sure weight-gaining endeavor.

Hi Melissa and Kyle,

All of Grandma Sue's co-workers at Meriter Hospital in Madison want to say congratulations and how happy we are to see those boys growing on mom's wonderful milk. Keep pumping, Melissa, stay well and we'll be watching daily!

Sharon, Arlinda, and all the Lactation Consultants in the Birthing Center here at Meriter.

Hi there,
Hayden looks so much like Julia... I will send a picture to you so you can see for yourself. Donovan looks like his Daddy. We think Kyle should take up writing in his spare time. Having two boys will give you plenty of fodder for a novel. We have a boatload of stuff for you and need to get it to you...will make arrangements with Grandma and Grandpa. Sending our love to the Guyla family. BTW, Melissa, you look fabulous and are just glowing holding those adorable babes.
