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!

Here we come!

Daddy took the girls for a walk yesterday morning with these cute little sweaters his Aunt knit! Aren't they so cute! Obviously, I am a bit obsessed with taking pictures of the girls! I can't help it though

No Go

So...no trip to Florida for us. We decided it would be way to much to deal with logistically. So, we are going to tough it out...

We did receive an offer from Courtney and Jason to babysit on of the girls for a couple of weeks in December...so we are thinking about that! Aren't they the bomb???

And...My sister in law and brother in law (basically...officially Oct 09) got me a surprise massage today! It was freaking awesome!

Good day today, we will see how the night goes!

Awesome..

So proud of myself. I was able to get the girls to take a nap in their crib yesterday afternoon all by myself. Now, this is monumental. They NEVER let us do that, even when my mom is here helping. We usually spend the day holding them! I think I wore them out though =) I was taking care of them alone and they had to tolerate sharing, that didn't make them the happiest. So, we definitely had some crying time before the nap!

We are thinking about taking the girls to florida. Are we crazy, yes I think so. But, my parents are meeting Alli and Bryan and my niecephew (don't know if Alli is having a boy or a girls yet...it's killing me) at the beach and they feel bad for leaving us all alone. They also say they want to hang out, but I am not too sure =) We have to decide today, so I will keep you posted. It's so great to have them and that they even thought about letting us invade their vacation!

It's been a rough week. Lots of ups and downs. Keep hoping for more ups Please!!

Growing up!

The girls have been doing a lot of growing! They are now cooing and smiling back at us. It's so fun to see and I love having them talk to me! AND....They are starting to tolerate sitting in the swing! Not for a long time, but we are getting there. They still insist on being held most of the day, but hey, one step at a time. We went to visit my Nan this week...She is 92 and still doing pretty well. She loves the babies and always becomes the most popular resident when the girls are there. I usually try to hide them in her room. The other day we were stalked by some woman who wouldn't back off. She kept asking me to hold one of the girls and I would tell her "No, only family can hold them now because they are so little." Then she proceeded to tell me how healthy she was as she coughed into her hands. It was pretty awesome! So, in the picture is Great Nan and Nana!

Oh, and I called the doctor to confirm they are identical twins. I know, I think of more things to worry about. But, it just doesn't seem like they look the same. But, I received confirmation that they are identical twins (hopefully they really looked at the pathology report like I asked!).

Peace out.

For Reals..

So, I thought the other night was bad. Oh no, nothing has compared to last night. Rob and I both decided it was the worst night ever-ever. The girls were not happy with anything and once we thought we had them asleep, they were wide awake. Seriously, these girls are too smart for their own good. They know within two seconds when someone isn't holding them and they get ticked. So, we basically didn't get any sleep. I swear, I hope it gets better soon.

At least they are healthy and cute, right? Notice in second picture that Alex is holding Keegan's binky in!
