J&J Update

Here are a few more pictures of little James and Jill. I noticed I forgot to put their weight in my last post. So for those who care, James weighed in at 6 pounds 8 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. Jillian was 5 pounds 4 ounces and was 19 inches long. She has such girly features, and James is such a boy already. It's so funny how their personalities are already coming out. James is very impatient and likes to whine whimper, while Jillian is very calm, patient and lady-like. They are still very good babies. Only cry when hungry and we still usually have to wake up Jillian to eat. She's such a sound sleeper. James, on the other hand, will wake up about every 3 hours to eat.

Derek is learning to adjust to the new additions. He always tells them he loves them and kisses their forehead or hand. He still doesn't quite realize how fragile they are, and always wants to play with them and feed them crackers. I still look at them in amazement. I can't believe we have 2 babies to care for. Jason goes back to work on Monday and I'm dreading it. He has been the one watching Derek this week... going to the park and McDonalds, building forts and playing in the mud. I'm a little nervous for him to be gone, but at least I still have my mom here. My mother-in-law is also taking 3 days off work next week to come and help out, so I'm SO thankful for that! So glad we're back in Corona close to all our family and friends again! Makes life so much easier!

Not sure if you can tell in this picture, but Jillian has very blond hair and a little more than James. And James has a wrinkly forehead.
