It's been a good day. The boys are eating like champs. Their jaundice is starting to go away. Pirate has at least 8 messy diapers a day, and it leaked all over me, Juice, and my parent's bed today. Fun stuff! Professor is a very laid back baby. My mom calls him our bonus baby. It's nice to have one that I don't worry about too much. He smacks his lips every time he is done nursing. It's so nice to be appreciated just a little.
Juice asked me what the plan was for today and I said, "Feed a baby, change a baby, repeat to a different baby. Or the same baby. Probably both."
Butterfly is having a little more difficult time. She is happy about the brothers, and really enjoys showing them off. But she throws more tantrums when things are about to change and tries to play Juice and I off each other when one of us says no. She has been asking for me to do things more often which I'm sure is a novelty for her. I have not been able to walk around for so long that for her to see me walking around is fun. It's an adjustment and we'll get through it.
I did start working on the delivery story. I don't want to give up any details so it will make a good story but most of you know a few things so I'll put those up. They were both vaginal deliveries, about 6 minutes apart. I did end up with pre-eclampsia for my blood pressure but it came down nicely about 48 hours after delivery. The gestational diabetes is gone (yay horray!) so I'm back to eating regular food.
Speaking of food, I'm ready for my Something Chocolate! (All local gals, want to go out sometime soon and get desert with me?) I haven't had sugar in so long and I feel like it coats my mouth funny and isn't always good. Amazing what not eating something will do.
I'm off to bed since the boys are still asleep. But here's a cute picture to leave you with. Pirate on the left, Professor on the right. They do not look a THING a like. I think Pirate looks more like Juice, and Professor looks more like my family. But they are great boys and we are having so much fun with them.Safire
Another adorable picture! You are so kind to find the time to post for us. It makes my day! :) I'm glad to hear you're doing well and the babies are great too. How cool that they already have unique personalities! Have fun :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture! It was fun to see the boys (and you!!) again today. Sign me up for the chocolate trip! I'm there! Are you itching to get out of the house and go somewhere other than the dr??
ReplyDeleteThey are just darling! George was delighted to see the "computer girl's" brothers. And totally serious she said "where's her Mom? How comes she's gots a sister too?" (about the other picture) Thanks so much for taking the time to keep us updated. Good luck with your adventurous days!
ReplyDeleteThey are just doll babies. I can't wait to read the whole birth story!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful babies!! Congratulations to you all!
ReplyDeleteoh my heck, look how cute and alert they are! I feel your pain about the older child asking me to do stuff that she can easily do. A wants to be held all the time, and with a belly in the way, it's not very easy anymore! I'm hoping she gets a little bit of this sassiness out of the way before the baby comes. Sounds like you're doing great, though!
ReplyDeleteHow do you have time to blog? You are amazing! They are so cute! I can't believe how tiny they look. I'm incredibly jealous that Julien gets to meet them before I do. Glad to hear everyone is doing well and is healthy.
ReplyDeleteYES i am ready for a chocolate outing. Can't wait. So cute. Cant wait to get them in my picture collection. See you soon.
ReplyDeleteWow! they are soooooo soooooooo cute!!!! It was so nice of you to let us come visit you in the hospital! I loved holding them!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness could they get any cuter? They are soooo darling. You make good babies! I also wonder how you have time to blog. I'm glad you find time, because I love hearing all about your kiddies. Take care!
ReplyDeleteWhat handsome guys!
ReplyDeleteWow, they are so darling and so alert. I bet it is so much work and tuns of fun too. It sounds like Butterfly is adjusting alright also. Any trips to Utah anytime soon with 3 kids????
ReplyDeleteMabes is so glad to see these pictures. Thanks for posting them. Safire you look very happy that they are finally here. Me too. I think of them as I tend CAP - he is darling too and such a good baby.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing all 5 later this year. Can't wait! Love to all.
You look SOOO GREAT!!! Your boys are adorable! I'm so excited to meet them! Can I go out and get chocolate with you too? I know I haven't been deprived like you have but my little one seems to like chocolate milk, so I've been trying to eat as much as possible. It's all for her. I'll make the sacrifice. You look like you're doing well! Congrats again!
ReplyDeleteI'm in on the chocolate group outing!!! The boys are too cute, and I agree that Pirate looks like Juice. How long was your mom able to stay???
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the boys is so adorable. Did I hear the word chocolate? If you haven't already gone, count me in!
