Thank heaven for little girls....





Eva and Anna have been sent to me from heaven. They are the most beauiful little girls. I can't believe I have been blessed with such perfect little babies. They are both so unique in their own ways and yet still have their twin moments. Eva, the oldest, doesn't like to sleep too much. She will stay awake for a couple hours after she eats and still kind of fusses a little when she can't stay awake anymore. She doesn't eat as much as Anna either. She weighed 7lbs 13 oz at 6 weeks old. She loves to make a lot of throaty noises and isn't afraid to let her voice be heard if she wants something. Amazing for how little she is. Anna on the other hand, loves to sleep. She will wake up about an hour before feeding time and want to play until its time to eat. It is usually not too long after Eva falls into a deep sleep. She is our good eater and burper but has a tendency to throw it all up about once a day. She just keeps getting bigger and bigger and gaining slowly on her big sis. At 6 weeks she weighed 8lbs 8oz. We think she will be tall because her hands and feet are quite a bit larger than Eva's. She is our patient one. She will wait for food most of the time and rarely cry. When she does cry it almost breaks my heart because she has to work up to it pulling sad faces 'til finally a soft little sound comes out. But doen't get me wrong, when she gets really mad we know it. They are a lot like they were in the womb, Eva was very active and always kicking and Anna hardly moved but once or twice a day. I never new having twins would be so much fun! I love it when they get the hiccups together like they did in the womb or even when they have messy diapers together. Its just a reminder that no matter how different the two are, they are still twins. I am so very grateful to my heavenly father for these two beautiful blessings. I am so grateful that I had a healthy pregnancy and a smooth delivery. Only two minutes apart!. I was blessed with a wonderful doctor who took good care of me. I am so grate ful that even after a rough start, Anna bounced back quicker than the doctors and nurses could imagine. I am blessed to have them grow and develope so fast and healthy. The doctor even said that they are probably eating too much for their little bodies and they can slow down now if they want. This was great news. I love my little girls so much and I am so grateful to have them as part of our family.
