It feels like we've had this stretch of "free" time, where the girls aren't really aging. Chronologically, yes, but this magic "adjusted age" doesn't start until their full term gestation. Which is all sorts of Now. In all likelihood, we wouldn't have made it all the way this far, but it's amazing to look at them at think that they could still be inside me! They definately wouldn't fit. They were weighed again this morning. Naomi's at 7lb10oz (!) and Lillian's bounced across that 7lb mark to 7lb2oz. That means they've both gained 9 ounces in 6 days. Doctor's pretty impressed. I am, too!
Now that we've hit their official due date, we can start counting their adjusted age and measuring milestones. Andwatching how fast this time really goes. Even though they are newborns in corrected age, they are doing some things that an older baby would. They make eye contact, lift their heads when they're lying on their bellies, and hold onto their bottles. I suspect that Lillian will smile at us soon.
Nana and Papa came out today to help us celebrate the girls' Unbirthday. Here are those pictures I promised!
Cake!
The Birthday Girls. Lillian's on the left.

They look like they were really into their party! :) great hats, by the way! How did you find tiny little ones like that??? Can't wait to see them again!
The hats were actually gift tags!
and a VERY HAPPY unbirthday. Sounds like something from Dr. Seuss. They look adorable although it looks like they had one too many baby martinis in their milk bottles and passed out after too much cake and vogue-ing. Madonna and martinis can do that too you.
