Time Flies
As you may have guessed, things are pretty busy around the Goforth household. We are having fun and the girls are doing great. They like to go on walks around the neighborhood. The girls are still being fed every three hours around the clock. Catherine nurses one baby and the other is bottle fed by Michael or Aunt Courtney or whoever else is here. The NICU doctors encouraged us to be more aggressive with them gaining weight, so we are supplementing the bottle with high calorie formula. It is working! Caroline now weighs 7 lbs. 6 oz. and Abby weighs 7 lbs. 2 oz. They each gained 1 lb. 2 oz. over a two week period since we began adding formula to their diet, the doctors were pretty impressed. They are already starting to out grow a lot of their premmie outfits and we are almost ready to step up from the newborn diaper size. It is so amazing to watch them grow and pass the small milestones along the way. The girls like to be held a lot so that leaves little time to do the simple things around the house, but we seem to squeeze them in. It's almost noon, so I better go get started.

7 pounds! That's great! We go to the Dr. tomorrow so we'll find out how much our little ones weigh. Plus we are getting 4 month shots so that should be fun! Take care and don't worry about the chores-my house is a mess too!

So glad you updated!!! And so glad that I got mentioned! I love you and am so glad that I get to spend all week with my sister and my nieces!!!
WOW! Sounds like y'all are moving along just great:) So glad to hear about the girls advancements! We think about y'all often and wish we were closer at times. Yep...our house is a mess too, piles of laundry everywhere....not sure which is dirty and which is clean:) The boys are 8 1/2 months, so hard to believe how fast time goes. They had their first trip to the mall today and picked out some orange pants for the spring! Don't think they will fit until the fall though:( We are at 14 lbs and they LOVE to eat... we miss you and can't wait to see you again. The girls are beautiful....Peyton and Parker are anxious to meet them. Love from Cali...Chris, Martha, Peyton and Parker
So glad things are going well. I love going to your website and seeing the updates on your family. I hope all is well with you Catherine. You are a trooper and Michael is always talking about how good you are as a mom. God bless you all!
