13 Weeks/3 Months
with just one day till the kids are 3 months old…I’m feeling a tish sad and happy and confused all rolled into one. I feel incredibly blessed that James & Evelyn are in our lives but I feel like this time has gone by far to quickly.
I was going thru some photos the other day on the computer and came across ones towards the end of my pregnancy, and in particular the ones days before or at the hospital. I was HUGE. I think I’ve been in denial all this time about it. Hehe.
But that got me looking at the ones from the delivery. Being that it ended in a c-section there were so many things I wasn’t able to see or do right away. With having the kids to take care of I haven’t really thought about going thru them. I remember picking a few and uploading them in the early days but everything was a blur. I’ve started scrapbooking again. It’s been around a month ago that I did my first page. Anyhow, going thru the photos brings back lots of emotions and feelings.
Things are good here. They’ve been busy but good. James seems to be getting better with his collic, although there are some nights harder than others. We aren’t sure if it’s collic or what, but it seems mostly to do with his needing sleep so we moved back his bedtime but he seems to have moved back his fussiness. We seem to have found a good combination of actions which work.
Both the kids have found their fists which they’ve promptly inserted into their mouths in recent weeks. I caught Evelyn today with more of just a thumb in though I don’t think she qutie understands whats happening yet. They have such tiny thumbs that I think they prefer their fist anyway.
They are sleeping SO wonderfully as of lately when they do get to bed, usually around 9pm now they are sleeping till 6am, they’ve done this everynight since Monday. Then they eat and go back to sleep for another 2 hours.
The kids had a big weekend meeting their Great Aunt Carlyn, who was a twin herself. Their cousin Kristin and Cousins Roxanne & Cailtin also came. As always is good seeing them. Then we went to Grandpa Mitch’s and Grandma Pams where they met their Uncle Joey for the first time also though he was not wanting to hold them 
They both are talking like crazy now and smiling all the time. James gets a smile from Evelyn most everyday when he gets home. I’m usually nursing and she stops to give him a smile, it’s very cute. Baby James squeals all the time… he is just too cute. His face lights up and I can’t explain the feeling that rushes.
Evelyn had an unexpected trip to the Peditrician yesterday because of something that was alarming to us in her diaper. Turns out that likely it was nothing to be concerned about, but they are running a few tests to be sure. However, she got weighed while she was there and she is now;
11 lbs 15oz! Yippee. That means she gained over an oz a day since her last appointment. We didn’t weigh James as at this point it’s been confirmed he’s gaining properly as his sister.
There are a ton of new photos in the gallery. Oh and James ordered the thing we need to be able to upload the videos off our video camera so hopefully in the next week or so we’ll be posting some of them.
