15 1/2 lbs.

Love all the guesses!

The girls are 12 oz. apart... so one's growing slower er faster than the other {grin}
ML was the closest guess for Nolia... at 8 lbs.
and
Aleah guessed Eliza's weight exactly at 7.3 oz

Nolia was 8 lbs. 1 oz. & 20 1/2 inches long
Eliza was 7 lbs. 3 oz. & 20 inches long
both with 14in head circumference

smaller than 3 of my boys {Ozzie was 7.12}
and ALL of my boys were 10-13 lbs. by 2 weeks!

10th percentile for full term babies
75% for preemie babies

the pedi said that they will be on the preemie chart until about 2-3 years... that is when they should catch up. Man that's a long time. Oh well... I've had big boys now I have small girls! {grin}



okay i'm honestly struggling to know for sure who is who in this picture... I *think* it's...

  1. Yea, I was thinking the same thing. This adorable shot of the girls looks like the same baby, only doubled.

    I gonna bet that the girls get put on the full term scale well before 2 years old.

    Tiff

  2. Beautiful photo... can't believe Nolia is nearly a full pound bigger than Eliza.

  3. I think if I had twins I'd have to give them braclets or something until they had distiguishable characteristics. How adorable they are. At least they will stay little for longer, and you'll feel like you have more time with them being babies.

  6. I see little fluffy cheeks and chins! So cute! Also, I had a 34 week 3 day preemie and he caught up by age 18 months. They don't always stay small. I hope that's encouraging. Have a wonderful day! :)

  11. my two preemies were at the right spot on the growth charts at 6-8 months, other than being "short" but honestly, who cares! You have two healthy girlies that are prettier every time we see them here. God bless you all :)

  13. They really do look quite alike. Were you told to expect identical twins? or will you get the DNA test done to prove it? Were there 2 placentas? that the easist way to know, really.....and really who cares, they're beautiful and they will be different somehow.

  18. Yeah, for sweet, healthy babies!! They really are identical in that picture!

  19. Wow...they are using the preemie chart! I wish they would do that for my tulip. she was born at 38 wks but was only 4lbs 14oz...like teh 3-4% at birth. and they've always used a regular chart for her and she's barely 10-15% in both height & weight at 17 mos old. while i "get" it b/c she was small at birth I get looks sometimes when people hear that she is only in the 10-15%...then I have to go thru the...well, at birth...blah blah

  20. why is their first visit? esp since they were preemies. Most peds do every 1 week weight checks. Just wondering. I work as a RN in a ped office.

  22. Love that picture of your girls!

    They have grown!

    Honestly it didn't even cross my mind that they would weigh in differently!
    But of course they would!
