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.
