an update

so... we had our one month appointment today at the pediatrician's office... good news all around: finn is weighing in at 5 pounds 9 ounces (5 ounces up from 9 days ago...) and mr. chunko, i mean liam, has gained 10! ounces in 9 days, bringing him to an impressive 6 pounds 1 ounce! this does make sense, considering he eats for a straight 20 minutes, has a couple good burps, goes back to sleep fairly easily and doesn't do much else in the world... his adorable brother, however, lives up to his name, being very finn-icky, usually eating at least 15 minutes before my poking and prodding is useless, sits up, maybe burps but not always, then waits until the second we're starting to fall back asleep before spitting up everywhere.  we asked today about a wedge under his head being a SIDS risk and the answer was no, so twice now, we've laid him down with a rolled up blanket under his head to prop it up, and (knock on wood) there's been no spit-up!  other than all of that, the storks are doing pretty well... we've kind of settled into our groove and are dealing well with the standard sleep deprivation that comes with any new baby(ies)... and i'm sorry i've been a loser about posting pictures, but our camera is too fancy and they won't ever download, the files are too big. so most of you can go to my facebook page and see the pics there... enjoy!
