June 28, 2011

In honor of the girls being 3 months old I am going to slowly share the photos from these first few months. We finally got a new computer for me to upload all of the pictures onto, and I have finally found some time to go through the hundreds of pictures that were taken those first few days and made a video of pictures of day 1 (yes we took that many pictures...does this surprise anyone?!). So here are the pictures from their birthday, June 28, 2011. Part of the day its just Makayla in the pictures because Makenzie had to be taken away after I held her to monitor her breathing and spend time in the special care nursery...so it looks like a family of three for some of the day, but later that evening we were finally able to be together as our sweet family of four! Enjoy...and trust me there are many more to come ;)

12 weeks old

Wow has time flown...it's so hard to believe that 12 weeks have already gone by with you sweet angels!!! You have already grown and changed so much! Its amazing to see all that you learn and how much you change from one day to the next. Your personalities since day 1 have been completely different and unique and I love each of you so much. Each day I say how I love this stage and I don't want you to grow and change anymore and then we wake up the next day and I feel the same way all over again.

Makayla Faith my wild little one weighed in at 9lb 14oz this week

Makenzie Grace my sweet little one weighed in at 9lb 6oz this week

Love you my precious M and M's!!! Happy 12 weeks old!

Even when you sweet girls are sick you still put the biggest smile on my face!!! XOXO

11 Weeks and 6 days

Last Friday I had to call the girls pediatrician for an issue with their poopy diapers and the color being green...I will spare you the details, but they wanted me to bring the girls in first thing Monday morning. Then on Sunday Makayla seemed a little bit congested and Makenzie was sneezing and had a bit of a cough occasionally (I thought it was most likely related to her reflux) so I mentioned something to Carl to remind me to say something to the Dr. They also were both a lot more sleepy than usual yesterday which I just figured was a growth spurt because there was no fever or anything else different. So this morning we took them in and long story short they both have an ear infection :( They are only 11 weeks and 6 days old and already have an ear infection...and how did I not know this?! I felt like a horrible mommy for not knowing, but the Dr reassured us that the symptoms they had could also mean a lot of normal things so we should not feel bad at all. Its tough though to not feel bad as new parents. When we were leaving the office I said to Carl that God made their poop green so that we would take them in and get them on the meds they need to get well quickly. As far as the green poop...Makayla tested positive for blood in her stool which most likely means a food allergy. They both tested positive for this when they were around 6 weeks old, but then it cleared up. Now if it does not clear up within a few days we will assume it is a food allergy and I will change my diet as they still only eat breast milk. I will start by eliminating all dairy from my diet which is 90% of what I eat. So please say some prayers for all of us and especially the girls to get well!!!

Despite them being sick I was able to get some cute pictures of the short playtime they did have today. Can you believe how much they have grown?! Look at those adorable pants with the built in little ballet shoes...too stinkin cute!!! Tomorrow they will be 12 weeks old...where did the time go?!?!  

Thursday Morning View

This was my morning view yesterday...have you ever seen such a beautiful view?! Who needs ocean view when you can wake up to this instead?! I love you my beautiful little angels!!!

PS I would love to know what secrets you are sharing already!!!

Look at these sweet little girls! 10 weeks old today and moved up to size 1 diapers too! Double digits in weeks and moving out of newborn diapers all in 1 day is almost too much for this momma to handle. Thankfully the size 1 is still a little too big, but we are out of newborns and have an abundance of size 1’s (thanks to our awesome family and friends) so I don’t feel as bad about it. You girls are still growing way too fast though!!! I love you my precious M & M’s
