Then and Now

Sarah and Caroline had their 18 month checkup yesterday and I couldn't help but remember back to how tiny they were 1-1/2 years ago. Yesterday, they weighed in at:

Sarah @ 18 months
26 lbs 2 oz and 31-1/2 inches tall

Caroline @ 18 months
24 lbs 11 oz and 30-1/2 inches tall

Here's a pic from yesterday

They are BIG GIRLS. I am not used to this. Their older sister was not the weight of Sarah until she was 3 years old! While I am glad that they are good eaters and healthy and all, my upper body is getting quite a workout every day. And, wouldn't you know that the one that likes to be picked up the most is the heavier one (Sarah). I see some twin moms who are able to pick up both of their kids and carry them around. Well picking up both of these girls is like picking up two 25 pound sacks of potatoes or sugar or dog food or what ever.....it ain't easy!

So, just to recall what they weighed when they were born

Sarah @ birth
4 lbs 9 oz and 18-1/2 inches

Caroline @ birth
4 lbs 15 oz and 18-1/4 inches

And here's what they looked like when they were newborns


So just for fun, today we took a picture of them laying next to their preemie outfits that they were wearing in the above picture.


I think it is just amazing!!!
