6 Weeks old!!

6 weeks already!! They have been home for three weeks now....Our days seem to go by really fast but they have been really good. They are still sleeping really well. 4 hour increments during the day and then 5-6 hour increments at night. 
We are getting a little more vocal. They are pretty easy to calm though which is nice. Pacifiers are magical. Ramsey has one big dramatic cry, then stops and Evie sounds like she is in the worst pain of her life with really quick cries. We can easily tell them apart :) They are also staying awake a little bit more during the day, it is fun to see their beautiful blue eyes more!
They love each other so much, you can tell. We put them together and they somehow get closer and start holding hands or sucking on each others noses! 

Sweet Sisters!

We have been taking the girls all over the place lately. We are taking advantage of the fact that all they do is sleep! They have been to all my favorite places. Holiday Ham, Bogies,La Baguette, El Porton, and of course Target!! The new target here is great, so shiny and new and the carts are so easy to push around. Mom had one with a car seat and i had one with the other car seat. Of course there was no room to put anything in the carts, but we managed:) I honestly don't know how i am going to do it alone!!

We go on walks twice and day early morning and at night when daddy gets home and of course Maddie loves this. Right now we are using our snap and go where you put the car seats in there and it works pretty good. They are too small for the BOB right now. Anyway since we use the car seats when we do it, every time we put them in their car seats, Maddie gets really excited. Which isn't good when we are going to put them in the car instead of walking, she gets very disappointed :(
Ramsey luvs her carseat!
Last wkd my dads family came in town from Humboldt and Jackson to see the girls. We had a great visit! The girls got to meet their only great grandparents which is so special!! Ramsey is my maiden name so that is where she gets her name

On Saturday our friends Stephanie and J.Ed came in town from nashville to meet the girls and Robert and Ashley came over also. We then headed to Bronte at Davis Kidd for lunch, so delicious! We had so much fun hanging out with them. Stephanie and J.Ed are expecting a sweet little boy in August!! We can't wait to meet Robbins!

They went to their first cookout Saturday night at our friend Robs house. They got to meet all their little friends, Kennon,Whit, and William. They did so good, of course no one wanted to hold them though ;)

I took Evie to the heart doctor today. While they were in the NICU they noticed their ductus (sp) was open. This is normal for a baby who is still in the womb, by the time they get closer to their due date, it closes. Since the girls were born too early it hadn't closed. They closed Ramseys with medication but Evies closed on her own so they wanted to check and make sure it stayed closed. It was, yeah! Sweet girl did so good. I told her if she did really good i would take her to chikfila hehehe 
They weighed and measured her and she weighed 6 pds 3 ozs and was 19 inches long. Then they did and ekg and an ultrasound. The only time she cried was when they ripped the leads off her from the ekg, there were like 10, i would cry too. Then we headed to get a chicken biscuit and dr pepper, her favorite :) i did promise her... and she was good.

Right now my mom is sewing the girls some pants for their first Humboldt Strawberry Festival Friday!  I made them some onesies to match. Can't wait to see them in it! Don't worry we will have plenty of pics.

Thats all for now!
