Today is our due date! It’s hard to believe that we have nearly six-week-old twins now. We’ve been having weekly weight checks, and the girls are now weighing in at a whopping 6 lbs (Susanna) and 6 lbs 7 oz (Rebecca). That’s an 11-oz and 12-oz gain, respectively, in only one week! Jim and I had thought the girls were looking a little chunkier, and now we know why – they’re gaining over an ounce every day. It’s such an exhilarating feeling to have healthy, almost-chubby babies! I also had my postpartum check-up today and got to visit with all the girls in the office. I miss working with them. They were such a big part of my daily life for so long! I’m happy that I finally got a picture of the girls with my doctor. Things were a little too hectic to get that picture six weeks ago!
Here is Dr. S with a not-so-happy Rebecca. We didn’t attempt another photo with Susanna, as she was sleeping peacefully and I was loathe to wake her before the car ride home. As it was, Rebecca provided enough vocal accompaniment!

Wow, I finally got to see all your office co-workers and Dr. Sussman! He has very kind eyes, and looks nothing like I thought he’d look like. I can see why you like to work there…co-workers are like an extended family and one misses the social network just as much or even more than the work itself. I think you are all very blessed to have each other!
Thanks for the pictures and the great report from the pediatrician!
Batterton women rock!
Love,
Mom/Grammie
