Leah and Audrey happenings

Audrey and Leah are now almost three weeks old. They are growing fast, and are almost starting to fit in some of their newborn clothes. I didn't buy any preemie clothes for them just because I thought that they wouldn't need them but now I am wishing that I had. We are now almost 100% sure that the girls are not identical. They look completely different from each other. Leah has very curly hair, Audrey has very straight hair. Leah looks so different from the rest of our girls. Audrey looks almost identical to how Kelsie looked as a baby. Leah is QUIET! Audrey is LOUD! That's the biggest difference between them. Sleeping at night is pretty much still non-existent. They wake up about every 2 1/2 hours to eat, and then will go right back to sleep. We have tried to get the girls on the same eating schedule but have found that it's easier just to let them each be on their own eating schedule. We don't wake up one baby when the other one wakes up. It just somehow works better for us. We have also tried putting them both in the same crib but found that the girls did better being in their own cribs. Kevin and I still have a lot to learn about raising twins. It's a lot of work, let's just say that!

They are so cute! And I agree Audrey looks just like Kelsie to me, but Leah looks all her own. They are both beautiful and I hope you get some sleep relief. Enjoy them though, soon they will be running around.
