Big Boys

The boys had and did several new things this past week. Oliver is getting his first tooth! It's on his bottom right side. You can feel it starting to come through and see it a little on his gum. Owynn has gotten much better at crawling. He still does the army style with his arms, but he has the correct leg motion down. Lately he has been enjoying climbing on top of and over his brother. They both have pulled themselves up to the standing position for the first time! Oliver did it on Thursday and Owynn did it on Friday. With the exception of holding their own bottles, once one figures out how to do something the second one isn't very far behind. Oliver still doesn't always hold his own bottle, he much prefers to play with his hair while eating. We bought the boys some Gerber puffs and cheese doodles. Oliver loves the puffs and Owynn really likes the cheese doodles. It feels a little weird to be trying some food other than jarred baby food. Although I did treat Oliver to a little bit of frosting last weekend at a birthday party. He loved the frosting and was upset when my cake was all gone. They got real bananas earlier this week and they loved them. I was at work when they ate them, but apparently they fed themselves pretty well and made a big mess. Because of this my MIL gave them a bath in the big tub and they enjoyed it quite a bit. They had fun splashing in the water. They also had apple juice for the first time. They get a little bit of apple juice with dinner now and they love it too. At first we tried it in a sippy cup, but I just don't think they are quite ready for that yet. My boys are getting too big too fast! Oliver has started to snore more and I am wondering if this is normal for babies. Well I have to work in the morning, night!

I Want More Sleep

First off I will say that I know how lucky I am to have babies that are such great sleepers, and I really shouldn't be complaining but I am going to anyways. I am usually the first one up most days and I wish I could sleep in later like I used to. You know, before kids, when you could sleep 12 hours until noon. But now my body clock is set to about 8 hours (I know I know). Then *ding* time to get up and I can't go back to sleep. I was really hoping to sleep in today too. Last night was our girl's night out and I didn't end up in bed until about 1am. I also had gotten up extra early yesterday morning so I was really hoping I could catch up on my sleep last night, but noooooo. Here I am yawning, wishing I could go back to sleep. Oh well, I know it could be a lot worse.

Yesterday morning I got up early and went over to P&W's to pick up W so we could go yard saleing. We had a great time and found a lot of clothes for our kids. Well W had great luck at the very first one we went to and I spent the majority of my money at the very last one we went to. It was in an upscale neighborhood and the lady had a lot of good quality clothes in fantastic condition in the exact sizes I needed for the boys, it was awesome! We stopped at several yard sales in between without a whole lot of luck. Although I did pick up some toys and books for the boys that I am excited about. I got the boys two sets of stacking rings, a set of Leap Frog farm animal fridge magnets, and several board books. I am most excited about picking up "The Monster and the end of this Book". I loved it when I was little and have been on the look out for it for months now. W bought Oliver the most adorable cow costume for Halloween, it is soooooo cute! Now I just need to find a costume for Owynn.

Girl's night was a fantastic time, I don't know why we don't try and do it more often. It was a great night out for both John and I. The boys stayed home with my IL's, which was really nice. When we go out we take the boys with us like 95% of the time. So John and I headed over to P&W's where we met up with another friend. So the three of us girls went out to dinner while John stayed with P and helped him with a project. We went to Lazlo's for dinner which was pretty yummy. I got a salmon caesar salad which I really enjoyed, but then again I always love caesar salads, it's my fall back dinner of choice. I think W and I had the same issue though. There was a lot on the menu, but nothing really jumped out and grabbed us and said "eat me, I will be delicious". But we had a really good time. After dinner we went back to P&W's to play some canasta. We had a long fun game that I ended up coming back from behind and winning. After the guys finished their project they went out and got us all Cold Stone. I had the coffee lovers, mmmmm. Our husbands are awesome =) After that they left us alone so we could keep talking and playing cards. They went downstairs to record another episode of their podcast. You can find them over at http://www.menwithcandles.com/ . (I was just checking out their site and John and I have been married since 2004 not 2006, I will have to correct them on that.) Overall it was a fantastic day, we had such a good time. I think John and I both needed it. After spending time with P last night John was in a much better mood. Then again he always is.

Well I should get going, the babies are starting to stir. I should probably try and wrap the present for the birthday party we are going to later today. I can imagine if I try and do it while the boys are up they will want to "help".

Owynn's New Discovery

Owynn discovered today that he can stick his tongue out. I think he also realizes that we think it's pretty darn cute. He especially likes to stick it out when he smiles big; he has been doing it repeatedly all day. I love when they discover something new!

John took the boys today for a fun little afternoon out. I came home for lunch on my break from work like I always do and John and the boys drove me back so he could have the car. (We have 2 cars, 1 right now just needs a lot of work before we can drive it again.) (Oh, and I love being able to come home on my lunch break every day and see my boys!) Anyways John took the boys to Target and to the mall this afternoon. It sounds like they had a good time. They stopped in at Game Stop and the girl working there gave them a little foam football that they have been having a lot of fun playing with. Then they got to pick Mommy up from work. I love being able to show off my babies to the people I work with. I mean I talk about them enough.

I guess today is technically Friday already, and I am really glad. It's been a long week between work and our trip to the ER Monday night / Tuesday morning. Oliver is feeling all better now and we think it may have been the jar of food he ate that night for dinner. So far no one else has come down with anything *knock on wood*. We have a busy and fun weekend planned! Tonight we are going to a Housewarming / Birthday party, Saturday is girls night out (I think we are going to dinner), and Sunday is the 1st Birthday party for one of our friends' son.

The boys turned 8 months old on the 14, I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone by. Pretty soon we will be the ones planning and then celebrating their 1st birthday. It kind of hit me today how many firsts we are going to be having here soon. Pretty soon the boys will be crawling, Halloween is coming up (I can't wait to go shopping for costumes!), and eventually they will get some teeth (although I do really love those gummy smiles!). I am starting to look forward to fall and all of the special holidays coming up, I know they will be extra special this year!

I suppose it's bedtime. I don't have to work until 11am, but I want to get up a little early to get a few things done before I go to work. Plus I love my sleep and I don't function well if I don't get enough. Ok, so I love my 8 hours every night, and do realize how lucky I am to have babies who sleep so well and for so long. Good night!

First Trip to the ER

We had our first ER visit late last night / early this morning. Oliver is doing ok now, he is napping at the moment. He ate dinner around 7pm; chicken and carrots. He ate the whole thing really well and was happy after dinner just sitting in his chair playing with his spoon. Soon after that he started getting tired and fussy. Around 9:30pm we brought them upstairs to start getting ready for bed. He ate his bottle close to 10pm and was pretty groggy while eating. With about 2 ounces left in his bottle he sat up and vomited his whole bottle up all over my MIL. She tried to give him the rest of his bottle, but before she could he vomited again. He got sick once more before falling asleep on me for probably at least a half hour. He started stirring and so I put him to bed. He just laid on his back so I rolled him over and after a minute he got sick again. I picked him up, sat him down then he got sick again for the fifth time. After that we decided we needed to take him to the ER.

We got there at about 11:20pm and they were able to see us right away. Oliver had to put on a little child's gown that was yellow and had Looney Toons on it. He looked pretty cute it in it, but then again I think he looks cute in everything. The dr checked him out and gave him some Zofran to stop the vomiting. He perked up quite a bit after that, I think it really helped him feel better. Then the nurse had us give him some Pedialyte to get him re-hydrated. They made sure Oliver kept it down before sending us home. We stopped by my work, filled Oliver's rx and got some Pedialyte. I gave Oliver some more Pedialyte before putting him to bed at around 2:30am. It was a very long night for everyone. My MIL was great, she helped clean up Oliver a few times, watched Owynn while we were gone, and washed and dried Oliver's bedding that he got sick on.

Oliver seems to be doing fine this morning; the boys both slept until about 11am. The dr. wasn't quite sure what caused Oliver to be sick, maybe a virus or something he got into his system. Oliver had some more Pedialyte and then drank his bottle without a problem. I am so glad he is feeling so much better. He really seems to be doing well today. I was extra worried and decided to stay home with him just in case. Well I also was supposed to work at 7, and after being at the hospital so late, would have been really hard. Plus he gave us quite a scare. But I guess that is part of the package of being a new parent.

I forgot to mention this earlier. While we were at the ER they gave Oliver the Pedialyte in a little bottle that he wouldn't take. So we ended up having to give it to him in a syringe. He took the whole thing that way, even tried to help me by holding onto it. When he was done he wouldn't let go of his new toy. We rode home the whole way, even after he fell asleep, with him holding onto his syringe. It was pretty darn cute.

Weekend Fun

Today I went yard saleing with my MIL and had lunch. I had a really good time. I left the boys home with Daddy and the lazy boys slept until noon today. Noon! We went to several yard sales all over town and ended up with a lot of things for the boys. Mostly winter clothes, but some toys, books, and Baby Einstein DVD's as well. I am lacking in the winter clothes department. I didn't get a whole ton last year for them, but what I do have is too big. I hadn't originally thought that at almost 8 months old they would still be in 3-6 month clothes. Oliver will be in 6-9 months by the time the weather gets cold I think, but Owynn right now is just starting to get into 3-6 months. Hopefully between what I already have, what we got yard saleing today, what some of my friends gave me, and what Mimi got yard saleing while we were in NY will be enough to get us through the winter. I think I will have to go out and buy some shoes, winter coats, and some long sleeve onesies. But all in all I think we are doing pretty good now. Now I have a lot of baby laundry to do. I think one of my favorite things I got was a shirt for Owynn. It is long sleeve, blue, with a teddy bear on it holding a heart. It says "Little body, big heart". I absolutely couldn't resist it.

Tomorrow we are going to spend most of the day at the airshow. I taking the boys and going with my MIL. Hopefully the boys will handle it well, I am a little nervous. I went last time they were in town a few years ago and they were very loud. It should be a good time, at some point the Blue Angels will be flying. I am looking forward to it. I have been hearing the planes flying overhead for the past several days. Between practice and the other airshows it's been quite noisy lately. We saw some of the Blue Angels fly by today as they were doing a fly over of the college stadium for the start of the football game.

After the airshow tomorrow John and I are going to take the boys over to P&W's for some cards and hanging out. It should be a great end to a long, fun, but tiring weekend. Last weekend when we went over there Oliver got the biggest kick out of their son. Every time he walked by Oliver just started laughing and laughing. It was super cute!

Well it's late and I have to get up early tomorrow for the airshow. I wish everyone a safe, peaceful 9-11.

End of Summer

I have to go back to work today after my 5 day long "weekend". It's also the first day of school for many kids across the country, including my brother and sister. I feel like the summer has officially come to an end, that makes me kind of sad. Where did summer go? I won't miss the crazy hot weather we had, but I am also not ready for the freezing cold of winter either. We are starting to get into some fall type weather, it's still in the 70's and 80's during the day but it's starting to cool off quite a bit at night.

My summer was a fairly good one, with some pretty awesome ups, and some pretty hard downs. This was the boy's first summer and we went to the zoo several times. It has been so amazing watching them grow and change so much in such a short amount of time. We got hit very hard financially with my husband losing his job, we had to move cities and in with his parents. But we got to go visit my Dad for his birthday and see my family, including my grandparents. It was a wonderful 2 week long trip to NY that I had a hard time coming back from. We spent a lot of time visiting with friends this summer too. All in all it was a pretty good summer.

The boys got weighed and measured yesterday. Owynn is only 12lbs 12oz and 24 3/4in, and Oliver is 14lbs 12oz and 25 3/4in. They are growing, very slowly, but surely. They haven't gained much weight since their 6 month check-up and that worries me a little. They have gotten longer though and have started moving around quite a bit. I'm thinking maybe that's why they haven't put on more weight. Oliver picked up army crawling while we were visiting my parents, and Owynn picked it up about a week or so later. Oliver crawls every where he can manage to get to all the time now. Owynn will crawl, but he needs some motivation first. His favorite so far is my laptop. They aren't quite sitting up yet. If we put them in the sitting position they will teeter there for quite awhile before eventually falling over. They are doing really well eating their jarred food, we just need to figure out a way to get a second jarred feeding in each day. It's hard for my DH to try and feed them alone. We got a system down where we can feed them both bottles at the same time, but it's a lot harder with jarred food. It helps a lot now that Owynn can hold his own bottle, but he is very impatient when it comes to his jarred food. I've realized that I am serious need of winter clothes for the boys. I wasn't expecting them to still be in 3-6 month clothes at almost 8 months old. Oliver will be getting into 6-9 month soon, but most of what I have for them is summer. Thankfully some of my friends have given me hand me downs and my grandmother Mimi did a lot of yard saleing while we were in NY and got the boys a lot of winter clothes. One thing I do need to make sure I have for them soon are coats. I don't know if they will be too big for the car seat covers this year or not. I am thinking they might be. Mimi found them some pretty cute shoes too, which will definitely be needed come winter. I wonder if I can find baby winter mittens. Although I think Owynn wouldn't like those, he sucks his thumb too much.

I should get going, it's 10:45am and I need to get the boys up. I have been hearing Oliver babbling in his crib for a little while now. We don't like to let them sleep past 11am. I feel extremely lucky that they sleep so late most days. They are such good sleepers! Like this morning was nice, I woke up at 9:30am and was able to get a shower, fb, and blogging time in. The boys have been so good and pretty easy, we are very fortunate.

Zoo

Yesterday we drove up to Omaha and spent the day at the Henry Doorly Zoo with P&W. We had a really great time. It was the busiest I have ever seen it though. There was a very long line of traffic just waiting to exit the interstate to get to the zoo. The parking lot was entirely full with probably at least 100 cars driving around looking for spots. It got to the point where people were actually making their own parking spots. Which after driving around for about a half hour was exactly what we did. I think my favorite parking job I saw was the car that was up on the curb, parallel parked between two trees.

I think the boys had a good time. They stayed awake almost the entire time and looked around a whole lot. We sat them up in the stroller like big boys, so I think they could see a lot more. Previously we had always had them in their car seats in the stroller and I don't think they could see as much. The weather was gorgeous, low seventies and breezy, other than the crowds it was a perfect day for the zoo.

I am looking forward to going over to P&W's later today to hang out. We usually just relax and play cards, it's always a good time. Well I think it's time to go and get the boys up. It's 11:15 and they still aren't awake. I guess we wore them out yesterday.

Holy Poop Batman!

We gave the boys baby food meats starting a few days ago, and holy cow. We had 6 poopy diapers Tuesday, and almost as many yesterday! What is in that stuff? The babies by the way HATE the meat. I suppose it was bound to happen, they enjoyed all of their veggies and fruit including both green beans and peas. At first it was funny the faces they were making, but now I just feel bad. We only have chicken left to go, and I really hope it's not as bad as the ham was last night. Owynn actually spit his back out and poor Oliver almost choked on it because it tasted so awful. After they try chicken tonight I think we are going to stop with the meats for awhile.

I feel as though I am still running on East Coast time. Although I have been getting better about staying up later, I am really tired pretty early. But I suppose it doesn't help that since we got home I have been waking up by myself before my alarm and before even the babies wake up. Then I can't manage to go back to sleep; my mind is too full of different thoughts. What is up with that? I suppose it is giving me some more blogging time.

I have to go to work today, and I am really not looking forward to it. After my vacation it has been just so hard to make it there and through my day. I don't understand what my problem is. I am almost dreading going in, and it's not like I hate my job or anything. I think I am just having a hard time being away from the babies after getting to be home with them for so long. I have 5 days off after today. I am really looking forward to them and honestly think I really need them. Well the boys are starting to wake up and I have to be at work in 45 minutes. I just keep telling myself I only need to make it through today!

Let's Try This Again

Really, I want to blog, I just feel like there is never enough time in the day. Today is Friday and it really doesn't feel like it. Although having to work tomorrow probably doesn't help. This week at work hasn't been too bad, I suppose I can't complain about a 4 day work week.

We got back Tuesday evening from a wonderful trip to NY to visit my family. We surprised my dad for his birthday and it was great! My grandparents even made the drive out from MA. I had 15 whole days off from work and I really really didn't want to go back. We arrived at my parents really late on the 11 and stayed until the morning of the 21. We made the drive out there in 2 days, but decided to drive home in 3, which made the drive much nicer. It was a little difficult making an 1100 mile trip with 2 7 month olds. The boys did amazingly well though, they fussed when they were hungry but not too much otherwise. Since I started work right the next morning after getting home I still feel like we haven't settled back in. Maybe Sunday I can get everything put away finally.

I suppose I should get going, I need to get ready for work and I am just delaying the inevitable. When I have more time I will post more about my vacation, it was really fantastic and I miss my family more now than I did before =(

TGIF

Well sort of TGIF, this week it was TGITh. I have enjoyed my day off, but every day I get to spend with the boys instead of working is a good one. My current goal is to blog more often, once I can manage that, then I will try and get my blog more "out there".

The boys had their 4 month check up recently. Owynn is up to 10lbs 8.5 oz (birth weight was 4lbs 7.8oz) and Oliver is now 12lbs 8oz (birth weight) 5lbs 2oz. Although small compared to other 4 month olds, they are doing great for being preemie twins (born at 34 weeks and 5 days). Eventually I think I will blog a bit about my pregnancy, I know I wished I could have found more about twin pregnancies when I was pregnant. Perhaps I could have searched more, but I had a bit of a hard time finding info about having twins. I think Owynn is getting close to rolling over and Oliver has discovered (finally learned it from Daddy) that he can blow raspberries (and that we think it's adorable). They are getting big and keep changing all the time. I have some cute photos I should post later. Right now dinner is almost done, have a great night!

Happy Mother's Day (a day early)

Things around here have been going pretty well. My in-laws came up last Saturday and we had a late Easter. I was a little stressed about it, but it was a very nice day. They brought yummy food, and I think I managed to eat the majority of the deviled eggs. I dressed the boys alike, and we got some adorable pics. I don't dress them alike too often, partly because I don't have a lot of identical outfits, and partly because the identical outfits I do have are in the same size. Most days I like that they are wearing different size clothes.

Easter weekend we went to P&W's on Saturday and had a great time, but then again we always do. They graciously treated us to Chipotle and we played pitch. Hopefully we will get to see them next weekend. We live about an hour away from my IL's and most of our friends. Although we go down to visit them often, we don't manage to go as often as we would like.

Yesterday I had a really good day at work, which lately hasn't been happening very often. I'm really not overly thrilled about working full time, but I don't really have much of a choice about it. There are days I feel good about it, knowing I am providing for my family, but other days the guilt creeps in. I miss the boys all day and feel like I am missing out on a lot. Owynn laughed for the first time on Easter and I missed it since I was working. Luckily I was home five days later when Oliver did. It was pretty adorable, he was very happy and smiling, giggled, then gave himself the hiccups, then got upset about it. Anyways! Yesterday we were able to wear jeans to work, which was great! If we donated $5 to Chrohn's and Colitis we received a t-shirt and were able to wear jeans yesterday, and will be able to again next Friday. Soon after I arrived at work I actually got a tip from a customer, which is very unusual. Apparently he had come in a day or two before and the person who helped him was unable to get his manufacturer card to go through. I was able to do it fairly quickly for him and saved him over $300. He was so happy and thankful that he left me a tip. I felt bad about accepting it, because really we aren't supposed to. But I followed the rule they taught us at Disney. Refuse three times and if they still insist, then you may accept it and say thank you. So I did what we typically do when something like that happens, I bought a bunch of candy for everyone in the pharmacy to share. The rest of the day went very smoothly, and everyone was in a really good mood. It also helped that the weather was absolutely gorgeous yesterday, we actually hit 80.

I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend with the boys. Today I am going to try and get my haircut. I am thrilled about this, last time I got it cut was Dec. of 2009 when I was visiting my parents in NY and donated it to Locks of Love. I wanted to get my haircut before the boys were born, but I was put on bed rest at 26 weeks and wasn't able to. Oh the joys of pre-term labor! I am hoping my hair will be long enough to donate again, if not then I will have to wait a few more months, and I really really don't want to. We have grocery shopping to do later, and my small to do list. Tomorrow for Mother's Day I am hoping we can all go to the zoo. I haven't been yet with the boys and I really want to. I am so glad that John bought a membership to the zoo, the Omaha zoo is fantastic. It is rated as one of the top zoos in the country, and we always have a great time when we go.

The boys are doing really well. Oliver has started showing signs of teething, he had a pretty rough couple of days earlier this week. But he is feeling much better now. Owynn is finally getting bigger, I am pretty sure he went through a big growth spurt the past couple of weeks. I think it is finally time to pack away his newborn clothes, this makes me both happy and sad. I have some pretty adorable newborn clothes and am sad to see him grow out of them. But at the same time, he is almost 4 months old now and finally getting much bigger.

Well it's already noon (where did my morning go?) time to get my butt in gear. Happy Mother's day everyone, especially to my mom (Elle over at http://bluemonkeybutt.com/home/ ) =) I live 1,000 miles away from my family and it's hard being so far away.

Weekend Update

This weekend was an end to a very long week. I had a stretch of seven days in a row, yuck. At least Saturday wasn't bad, we were pretty slow. Then after work John and I took the boys to our best friend's P&W's house for a fun relaxing evening of playing cards. It was just what I needed, and a lot of fun. Then again we always have a good time with them. Sunday evening I went to Kohl's and spent my birthday gift card (thanks Mum!). I bought myself a new purse, which I am very happy about, I probably didn't need it, but I really wanted one. It's been at least a couple years since I bought a new one, and I always buy a cheap one. I am glad I got a nicer one for myself. I also bought a new pair of pants and a couple of new shirts. It was very nice shopping for my new post baby(s) self.

I also got the boys a couple of summer outfits and several pairs of shorts. I need to go through their closet again, but I don't have a whole lot of summer clothes for them. Actually I have a lot of shirts, just not many pairs of pants or shorts. I need to see too how many sleepers they have, I may need more of those too. Owynn is finally starting to transition into 0-3 month clothes (only because he is getting too long for a lot of his newborn clothes), while Oliver is between that and the 3-6 month size. The boys turned 3 months old on the 14 and little Owynn is still in newborn clothes and diapers. Although once Owynn finishes this box of diapers we are finally going to move him up to size 1, not so much because they are too small, more so because he just pees so much.

The boys are doing well. During the past two weeks we have all gone through a cold which wasn't a whole lot of fun, but the boys handled it surprisingly well. I am starting to think Oliver may be going through a growth spurt, he has been eating a lot more than normal the past couple of days. Owynn is starting to eat about 6oz each feeding pretty consistently, yay! We have them on a combo of formula and breast milk. They were preemies and since birth they have been on two feedings a day of Similac's Neosure to help them grow and gain weight. Owynn is on it until at least their four month check up. At their two month appointment the Dr. said Oliver could stop it, but since he has always had the two feedings of formula a day we decided to keep going with that. He gets Similac's Advanced Complete formula now, luckily we had some free samples to start out with. The get a formula bottle every night right before bedtime and one every morning when they get up. During the day I either nurse them or they get a milk bottle. It has been working very well for us so far. I want to continue nursing them for as long as possible.

Oh well, I suppose I should try and get something done around here, Owynn is back asleep and Oliver hasn't woken up quite yet. It is nice to have a Monday off for a change.

Wordless Wednesday

Owynn's on a roll!

Sunday Funday

So far we've had an enjoyable weekend. I am very glad to have the weekend off from work. After being out of work for 4 months, 2 months on bed rest and 2 months on maternity leave, I have been back at work for 2 weeks and am already sick of it. I work in a pharmacy and a lot of times people are just special.

PSA: The proper way to dispose of your medications is to try and dissolve them in a little bit of water. Then put them in with coffee grounds, kitty litter, dirty diapers, or something equally as yucky, then throw it all in the trash. You do NOT go to the pharmacy, yell at the tech, throw your medications on the counter, then storm off. I love people...ugh!

Hopefully today I can cross a few things off of my to do list. I need to give the twins a bath, but they aren't particularly fond of them. I am kind of bummed since I realized that my next day off isn't until next Sunday, boo!

Oh well, I think now is a good time to go take a nap, both babies are alseep =)

It's a blog!

My mum has finally convinced me I should start a blog. I don't know how this will go, but let's give it a shot.

Let's meet our cast of characters:

Jessica- Me! I grew up in MA, moved with my family to NY for 4 years, then moved to NE when I got married.

John- My awesome husband. We've been married since 2004.

Owynn & Oliver- Our twin boys born January 2011.

Today has been a day. John has been watching the boys since I have gone back work. Currently he's on disability, so until he goes back I am working full time. Today he is sick though, so I stayed home to watch the twins. Which really I don't mind, I would much rather be home than working. They have been good today, Oliver has been a little fussy, but they are currently asleep in the living room with me while I watch Man v. Food. So far today I have managed to load and start the dishwasher, make and eat lunch, waste time on FB, and start a blog. After Owynn wakes up to eat again, which should be soon, we are going shopping. Going to Kohls then the grocery store.

They are usually pretty easy going babies, they like riding around in their car seats. Whether it's in the car or the stroller (aka The Baby Tank) they just love it. They are good sleepers too, which I am very thankful for. When they finally came home from the hospital (after a brief stay in the NICU), they were already sleeping 4 hours at a time. Currently at 10 weeks they take 3-4 hour naps during the day and are sleeping for about 7 hours at a time over night. This makes Mommy very happy and apparently pretty lucky.

Here's to hoping I figure out this whole blogging thing and stick with it!
