A September to Remeber!

Septebmer, sorry to say but no one will miss you and everyone hated you! Phew! What a rough month. Projectile vomiting, flipping out during bottles, not sleeping during the day or night. If you've seen one of their feedings when they are not happy then you know.

The doctor diagnosed the girls with Acid Reflux. That's why they've been so unhappy during their bottles. And we've just switched them to nonlactose folmula that has stemed the tide of vomit, also it's cheaper so that's a "win, win!" Unfortunately, it smells like month old pumpkin mush so we were denied the conveted "win, win, win" that is so sot after. Mmmm...sot is a funny word, doesn't look right.

Anyways the good news is that October is here and with it cooler nights and hope. With medicince and new formula things have really gotten better.

The girls are coming up on 11 weeks now. Despite the continual spitting and throwing up they are gaining plenty of weight. Matilda is now over 9 lbs and 21 1/2 inches. Elinor is a wopping 9 1/2 pounds and 20 3/4 inches long. With the extra "height" (is it really height if they spend their days scrunched up in a ball?) and the derth of weight Tilliford looks pretty skinny compared to Elinor. Both girls have 38 cm heads.

The good news about the numbers, other than they've gained like 3 pounds in a month, is that the ladies are now on the all important percentile scale!!! Yes! Now we can compare they to other babies in an endless discussion of "who's baby is better" with other parents. (Their weight and height are around the 5th and 10th percentiles and their heads are in the 25th so we got little bobble babies)

Babies also took advantage of free museum day, thanks Tien and Long, and went to the Nasher Sculpture Museum. Abby's baby, I can't tell the difference, looked at the art the whole time. My baby mostly slept. We were both pleased with the respective outcomes.

This weekend we went to the FW zoo and saw the baby lions and tigers. The lions were born two days after the girls, so the friends.

enjoy the pics of daddy's favorite time of the day...and one of bath time, too.

Watch Out Tilliford's Hungry!

The girls are doing fine. Not much news. We'll go to the doctor pretty soon and they're coming up on 2 months old. Look at how big they're getting! They are basically out of premie clothes although to telll the truth its just that they have gianormous bellies, everything else is quite slinder and form fitting.

Official Scientcian Proves Identicality

Friday, August 29, 2008 Zuich, Switzerland

Great news today we finally got the results back and the girls are offcially considered “identical.” Three weeks ago DNA samples, HI-RES laser scans and Folic Lampon Tissue residue (FLT) were sent to the CERN facility in Switzerland, home to Europe’s largest superconductor, for testing. The data was analyzed by Dutch physicist Emrick Slepzenberg for signs of identicality. Although many of the first tests we’re rather inconclusive a breakthrough was finally made with the HI-RES laser scans. Dr. Slepzenberg announced that the Large Hadron Collider’s beam synchronization systems which will allow the LHC operations team to inject the first beam into the LHC. And the rest as they say is histroy.

The good doktor described these laser scans in laymen’s terms: “You know zat part in zee movie Terminator when ze esteemed actor Arnold Schwarzenegger looks at ze people and he zees them vith a grid of some sort? Zat is essentially vat vee do ven vee are looking at the HI-RES laser scans.”

Along with a certificate proving identicality the Tiggeman-Morrises received printouts of the three laser scans that the doctors used. The first two show the girls by themselves and the last one, I think the most conclusive proof yet, shows the beautiful girls together.

Togetherness Project

We had our first doctor's appointment last Monday. Everything was fine. Elinor is up to 5 lbs and 11 oz and Matilda was just over 5 lbs and 8 oz. Their new hobbies include crying a lot and spitting up. This post is mostly for pictures so enjoy!

Matilda Joins Her Sister!!

The day has finally arrived! Matilda "Tilly Bean" Tigg-Mor at home. We put them together they immeadately suggled up to sleep. That's it for now.

Home Again, Home Again, Lickety Split

Elinor Claire has arrived home at last! After exactly 3 weeks in the Baylor NICU she arrives triumphantly home ready to take her rightful place as Co-Cream-Fed-Ruler! Mmmmm...Let's see, not much else to report about her. She's around 5 and 1/2 pounds, we just don't know what we're going to do without daily updates as to her weight. I guess we're just going to have to guessinate how many grams she weighs each night. I'm guessing 2422 grams.

Little big sis Matilda Kate is doing fabulous and we're full of hope that she joins the household this weekend. ok. Here's some pictures.

PS -- That floral burrito is Elinor.
