Nippling!

Both James and Kathryn took bottles tonight, and emptied them in short order -- both sucked down 40ml, or an ounce and a third, in about 20 minutes. They also weighed in at four pounds each!


We gave them both baths tonight, which they are starting to enjoy a little more. It takes both of us to maneuver a slippery, soapy baby and a wet washcloth in the little plastic bath tubs they have at the hospital, but we have fun. We had a hilarious diaper incident with James tonight involving three new diapers, and poop and pee everywhere. Yes, I know you're supposed to keep things covered, but you have to open the diaper at some point in order to change it, and he had perfect timing with both barrels. It would probably be less humorous at home, but here any poop is cause for celebration, even if it's all over your pants.

We have been at the hospital almost all day, and it has been an exciting one, so I'm pretty tired right now. I uploaded a few pictures to the new Week Three photo album page. Tomorrow I'm hoping to be able to give them a bottle myself (the nurses have to give the first one, at least, to make sure everything is going alright).
