Weight update, etc

Hello all. We went to the Pediatrician today and Edwin had to get 2 shots. :( But now he is all caught up and that's good (he was a little off schedule because of the steroids in the NICU.) Serena weighed 6 pounds 8 ounces and Edwin weighed 6 pounds 15 1/2 ounces!!!! I didn't update last Friday, but at the Pedi's Serena weighed 6 pounds 2 1/2 ounces and Edwin was 6 pounds 6 ounces and were both 18 and 1/2 inches long....(longer than measured at the Pulmonologist the day before but go figure.)
I didn't mention their eye appointment from last week, but all was well with that. We will go back to see the Dr in 2 months. He is very pleased with the results of their laser treatment and expects their vision to be good if not great, but we really have no way of knowing until they are a few months older.
Things are going very well at home. I enjoy Serena and Edwin so much and it is so nice to be home. I am looking forward to Edwin's fights next week; if wins he will be the New England Golden Gloves Champion for the 4th consecutive year and from there earns a spot in the National Golden Gloves which will be held in Tennesse this year. That will mean Daddy will be gone for the first week of May and it will be tough without him, but I have my mom and friends and I am sure we will manage. If Edwin were to win the National Golden Gloves, as he did last year, he will automatically go to the quarter finals for the USA Nationals which is the tourney that dictates the USA Olympic team. We hope and pray Daddy keeps winning and makes it to China in 2008 as the USA middleweight! Bringing home the gold would be so great, and he has the most adorable twins as his inspiration! No doubt their will be a special on the twins and Daddy in the Olympic coverage if he were to make it...you know how they always do highlights of athletes that have interesting/inspirational stories to share.
