Little Stinker

So the other night, Cooper feel asleep at dinner and since he has been kind of sick I decided to just let him sleep and I put him in his bed (this was at like 6:30). Then I put Birkli to bed at about 9 and at around 9:30 or 10 I went out to the kitchen to get medicine for Miles and saw that their bedroom door was open so I went in to see what was up. Well, at first I was a little concerned because Cooper wasn't in his bed so I quickly scanned the bedroom for him and wondered if he was in my bedroom and I hadn't seen him since I had already turned all the rest of the lights in the house off. Then I noticed that he was laying in bed next to Birkli all cuddled up and sound asleep. I thought it was so cute that they were snuggled together! I wish I could have taken a picture but it was dark and I knew it wouldn't have turned out. I am so glad that they love each other so much! For the most part Birkli is a pretty good big sister to him.

Yesterday Cooper totally grossed me out!! (for those of you that are sqeamish, you may want to stop reading here, but for some strange reason I want to remember this so I am recording it here) He was out in the rec room playing an x-box game and I was at the computer in my room trying to keep Miles content. Well, he came in and I could instantly tell that he was stinky so I stood up and told him to come with me to change his diaper. He didn't follow me so I went back to grab his hand and saw him grabbing funny at his pant leg and then all of the sudden a 'little nugget' came out of his pant leg. Right then I realized this was gonna be a messy one so I picked him up and carried him to the tub to clean him up. I am SO glad that I did that or I would have had poop all over my carpet! Apparently pull-ups don't hold a lot of poop! It was so thick, stuck all the way down his leg, it was impossible to get his pants and socks off without getting it on my fingers too! It only took about 20+ wet wipes to get him clean enough that I would let him take a bath and not have poopy water. Then when I went to clean out his pants (I did this in the tub too) I had the water running through the pant legs and logs came out! Seriously! I was so grossed out and very thankful I wasn't pregnant or I would have been in trouble! I spent about 45 minutes cleaning up him and his pants and the spots on the carpet between the rec room and bedroom! Of course the whole time I was doing that both babies were screaming at me! It was such a fun time for me! Oh that boy! If I didn't love him to death we would have a problem! ;)

Weston

For being the bigger baby all through the pregnancy, he sure did give up fast and decided to be the smaller one. He is still taller, but weighs less now. I love all of his dark hair and I love how it is so wild and crazy after his bath. He is a pretty happy boy and has even started giving us cute little smiles. He actually sleeps through the night which make his momma very happy! He has awesome blue eyes too and I hope they stay that way. He definitely likes to be held and as long as I am not busy or dealing with his little (younger) brother then I am totally ok with that. He is fed formula at night before he goes down for the night and Jeremy usually feeds it to him and I guess he has gotten used to that because I fed him a bottle the other night and he didn't want to go to sleep for me afterwords, but he always goes right to sleep when done eating if Jeremy feeds him. I guess that means Jeremy can't ever be gone at bedtime! :) He is such a cute and fun baby and I am the luckiest mom in the world to have these two babies belong to me! I was very scared when I found out I was having twins but I am so glad that I did! I can't imagine not having either one of them!

Miles

I guess Miles didn't like being the small baby cuz he has already doubled his weight and passed his brother in weight! He was about a pound and a half smaller at birth, but now he is about a full pound bigger! He is a chunk! I guess maybe he isn't really a chunk because he is only in the 7th percentile for his weight (my other 2 were always in the 80th or 90th percentiles!) but he just looks chunky compared to his brother. I think it is cute though. He still wakes up in the night to eat (maybe that is why he is chunky?) but usually only once so it isn't too bad for me to get up with him. He actually has reflux so the doctor put him on medicine to help with that and since then he has been so much happier which makes me happier! I absolutely love his blue eyes and I hope they stay that way. He is just the cutest baby and I'm so happy he is mine.

Time flies....

I can't believe my babies are already 2 months old! They really are lots of fun even though they have completely changed my life by making it hard for me to go anywhere....ever! We haven't taken them anywhere yet except for to the doctor for their appointments. Once we start taking them places I think it will get harder! We will probably take them to the family Easter dinner tomorrow and once people start getting better (hopefully that is soon) we will start taking them to church (although I must admit it has been kinda nice being able to sleep in and be lazy on Sundays ;)).

Finally...

Ok so I know there aren't many people that read this, but I have had some requests to post a picture of me when I was prego with the twins so here it is.









It's hard for me to believe that from that belly I got these two handsome boys.
Everything went well, we were very blessed to have everything go so smoothly. The way the doctor and nurse kept talking, I was expecting it to be rough but it was great. The nurse told me that was the smoothest twin delivery she has ever seen, that made me feel good. Anyways, it is all over now and I don't have to worry about going through that again! We are so happy to have our babies here (I am especially glad to have them out of my belly :) ) and they have already got me wrapped around their little fingers.

Latest news

Ha! I am so far behind I don't even know where to start. I guess I will just explain the new little picture I put up. Yup! That is right! I am pregnant with twins! This is both exciting news and scary news for us! It's like starting all over again because we already have one of everything and now we need to go buy one more of everything! Very expensive surprise indeed! The twins are in their own sacs so they are apparently fraternal, but we did find out that they are both boys! So our family will have 3 boys and 1 little girl that will have to be my buddy and princess for life. Dad can have his 3 hunting buddies, but I get to keep my little girl. I just hope I don't mix them up and switch them around and not be able to tell who is who! We are excited to be adding to our family though and can't wait for the next few months to go by so they can get here.
