Total weight gain: 40 lbs (30 gone within 3 weeks and the rest was gone by the girls' 2 month birthday)
Fun fact: By the time the girls were born I was nearly as big around as I am tall. I'm 59 inches tall and at last measure (about 2 weeks before I delivered) I was 57 inches around. Luke says I got a lot bigger at the end, so it likely was even closer than that.
Total bed rest needed: 13 weeks
Total time spent in the hospital (Nicki): 30 days (includes 4 day stay after the girls were born for my mystery infection)
Total NICU time needed: 10 days
Birth weights: Alli - 5 lbs 3 oz, Dani - 4 lbs 15 oz. Both girls dropped down to 4 lbs 9 oz about 5 days after they were born and then started gaining again.
Random funny: Although this doesn't entirely apply to our situation, it gives you a taste of the fun conversations you have as a mother of multiples. YouTube link
