Below you’ll see pics of Gabriel and Zeke donning their Halloween “costumes.” They were still in the NICU at that point and very, very small, as you can see.
However, the boys are growing nicely now that they are home and getting milk and love whenever they want. At their last pediatric appointment on November 14, Gabriel was 5 pounds, 5 1/2 ounces, and Zeke was 5 pounds, 2 1/2 ounces. And then at today’s appointment, they were 6 pounds, 11 ounces, and 6 pounds, 3 1/2 ounces respectively. Can you believe how much my little piggies have gained in just two weeks?!?

Houston still doesn’t love having full-time competition around, although he does love poking the boys in the face when he gets a chance. Now that Gabe and Zeke are spending more time out of the nursery and in other parts of the house in bouncy seats and swings and such, I think Houston will get more accustomed to them more quickly — or at least, that’s my hope.
I have taken hardly any photos of the twins since they’ve been home. I truly haven’t had a second to spare. But I know I need to make the time, especially now that the boys are doing more than just sleeping all the time. In the meantime, you can click the above photo of Zeke to see all the final NICU pics, and I will try my best to get some more recent shots of the twins up soon.
