A new beginning...

So, I am currently on day two of my new career. Rob and I decided that it would be best if I stayed home with the girls. They just weren't eating well at daycare and have been getting sick. We just don't want to have any setbacks and it was almost more stressful on Rob and me when I was working. I felt like I was never seeing the girls. So, Friday was my last day at work. It was sad, because I really like all the people....but I am so happy and I know this is the right thing!

It's been a little rough. The girls both have horrible colds, so it's been a rough day and a half. Keegan wants to be held all day, which I would love to do, but having two makes it difficult. By the evening last night, my arms were killing me. Carrying two growing babies is giving me a good workout! The girls are just too cute. They are smiling, rolling over and I think just starting the crawling stage...I think...They are both getting up on their knees and rocking their cute little tushies!

Wish me luck on the new career move, I know it's going to be the toughest job of my career!

Things that are annoying...

So, today was such an annoying day. Our poor little babies are sick. Rob is sick. I am sick. So, that makes for a stinky day anyway. On top of all this, the girls had their eye checkup. I was thinking about taking them myself, but we all decided to go. Rob's sister Erin was there, so it was nice to have an extra set of hands. I figured the appointment would be a quick in and out sort of thing...but oh no. Not so much.

We got there and checked in no problem and actually got into the room fairly quickly. There was a bit of a mixup and the nurses weren't sure if the girls needed to get their eyes dialated or not. They told us we wouldn't need to, which I was thrilled about. The girls hated it last time. So we did a couple tests and then waited to see the doctor. About ten minutes later, the nurse came in and said that the girls really did need to get their eyes dialated and that we would then have to sit and wait another half hour. Needless to say, I was annoyed. They then took us to a different room and we fed the babies and then waited another hour or so. And, this new room was about 100 degrees..so, the babies were stripped down to their diapers.

Finally we saw the doctor and he told us the girls were good to go. No vision problems. And we got to see him for about 5 minutes. I guess I can't complain too much because the girls eyes are healthy!

7 months old!

Hello Again!

So...I stink. I haven't posted in forever. What can I say, time has flown by. The girls are doing great. They are growing and both have big personalities. They are now 7 months old. I can't believe it. Keegan is such a smiler and Alex is bubbly. They must take after their mommy =)

I went back to work for several days before Christmas and headed back full time in January. Well, after much thought and consideration, we decided that full time wasn't going to work for the girls. They were still having feeding issues and although we love the daycare we found, it just wasn't the best for the girls. So, I am going to be staying at home for the time being. I am working through the end of the month and then the girls will have my full attention. It is going to be an adjustment, I am just hoping to find some social outlets. BUT, my first goal is to get some consistency in their sleeping....Mom and Dad haven't slept through the night in a LONG time.

We also have had an exciting winter season. Allison gave birth to a beautiful little boy on January 7. John Cahill Delano weighing 8 1/2 lbs. We had quite a scare with Johnny and he is in the hospital now...Please keep him in his prayers so he can get home with his parents!

I will post some recent pictures soon.

Finally posting..

No time for much commentary. The girls are going through a growth spurt or something...extra fussy, which is awesome. BUT, we had a great weekend. Went to a halloween party, where they dressed as santa's helpers. Saturday, we went to the apple orchard and a fish fry! They were angels! Oh, that's Rob eating a monster size piece of cake =)

Big Girls

I just had to post this picture of the girls...Because Alex is chessing it up so much. Things were a bit rough this past week due to their shots. It was so sad to see them have to get four each. Thank goodness Daddy was there to hold them! Their sleep got all sorts of messed up, but we are on getting back to some sort of schedule. Alex also rolled over for the first time! I went to get her up yesterday morning and there she was..on her back. Yes, they sleep on their stomachs. I blame the NICU for starting that habit. They are still very high maintenance, but hopefully they will start to play a little more soon. At least we are getting some smiles here and there. Next week we have another first...We are going on an airplane to see Aunt Alli and her growing belly! Oh boy..should be interesting!

We are 4 months old!

We are getting so big! We turned 4 months old on Sunday! Here is a pic of the girls with their very first dolls that Grandpa gave them! The top picture shows Alex on the left and Keegan on the right. In the second picture Alex is on the right and Keegan is on the left.

Today the girls had to get their shots. It always breaks my heart to see that and I almost had to take out another mom. She was not nice, making comments about the size of our girls...not to us, but so we could hear. And then, blatantly (sp?) listening to our conversation with the health department lady. I soo wanted to say something to her, but I didn't. Gosh, I get so annoyed with ignorant people.

Anywho, the girls are taking the shots pretty well and are starting to get more playful. They are still hard to have just one of us take care of them, but we are making progress!
