As you know babies are demanding, and I've got it double! Still that really isn't the best excuse for not keeping up with my blog. Anyways I'm going to try and catch up to where we are now, a detailed account of their delivery (and our hospital stay) will come (hopefully) soon.
Here is a brief overview of their first 2 months:
The first month was all about adjustment. Rush and I adjusting to being the parents of two tiny girls and the girls adjusting to life outside the womb. Thankfully I had a lot of help! The first week I had Rush and my Mom. Then when Rush went back to work my Mom was there. Around week 3 I was on my own during the day, thankfully Rush comes home most everyday for lunch so I get some help and we can usually eat together. Often he would come home and find me stuck in the blue recliner with both girls asleep on me. See picture. :) Honestly though I didn't mind, I love having them both next to me.Here are some more pictures from their first month!
Our first familly picture! The girls are not even a week old, and Valentines Day had been a few days prior. These were the cute little outfits my Mom had gotten them for Valentines Day.
Our family portrait with 1 month olds! :)
I wish I had been told this when the girls were born so that I could have their picture next to the bunny and bear when they were only a day or two old, but starting at their 1st month isn't too bad. Here is how they are sizing up at 1 month.
Well a week ago we celebrated the girls' 2 Month "day" (not sure what to call it because a 2 Month birthday just doesn't quite sound right...) Anyways, we had their 2 month check with the pediatrician and the girls' stats are: Adalyn 10lbs 8oz and 23 1/2" long(tall) & Reagan 9lbs 9oz and 22" long(tall)! If my memory is correct they are both in the 25-50 percentile (except for Adalyn's length, she was in the 90 percentile!) Some of the other notable milestones are that they both smile! Of course they don't smile that often (at least not at me) :( they tend to fall asleep when I play with them and smile at Rush and our night nanny when they play with the girls. Oh well, I can just hope that in a few months they like me more! :) Neither of the girls have laughed yet, except Reagan laughs all the time when she is sleeping in my arms! I can't wait for them to start laughing, it's a wonderful sound. I'm hoping to get a smile on camera soon, but it isn't easy.
On their way to church for the first time! Just over 6 weeks old.
Also this month the girls have started attending church. The first week was great, they slept the whole time (and even through lunch at Chili's!) But each week since they have been more restless and demanding so they might have to start going to the nursery so that Rush and I can actually pay attention to the sermon and get something out of it. Addie has the bird carseat toy and Reagan has the zebra. I also try to keep Addie's bow on the left and Reagan's on the right so that in pictures I can easily tell who is who! ;)
We've also started going on multiple walks during the week. I got a great deal on a double jogging stroller when the girls were only 2 weeks old and I love it! I just lay the seats down with some blankets, swaddle the girls up, and hit the pavement (I walk with them not jog since they aren't physically stable yet.) They are usually asleep by the time I'm a few houses down the street and sleep the whole time. I'm hoping that as they grow they continue to like the stroller.
Well that's all I have time for, let's hope that it's not another month before I'm able to post again! :)
