Valentine's Day

This year was probably the best Valentine's. I had 3 of the best Valentines and it was low key and relaxing. Travis had to work until 8, so while he was at work I cleaned the house folded all the laundry and made dinner. I put a Roast in the crock pot made German fried potatoes and corn. Travis and I didn't want to make this year to be a big deal due to money being tight and we also don't need a holiday to tell each other we love each other. Well when he got home he had a dozen roses for me. He was so excited and happy because he made the arrangement himself, which made it so much better. We had dinner and then we watched Moulin Rouge (and I fell asleep) :) All in all it was a great day and night. I look forward to next years Valentine's Day.

2 Months.....WTH

My boys are 2 months old. I can't believe it!!! I love seeing all the changes and new things the boys do. They are getting so big and gaining weight so fast. They had their 2 month check up and had to get shots, it was so sad. I had to go alone due to Travis having to work. It was so hard seeing them cry and in pain, and it broke my heart more when I couldn't hold both of them. The doctor was amazing and let us go into his office so I could love on both of them in a chair and feed them. They fell right to sleep and slept all day. I had to wake them up to eat because they were so tired and worn out. They are sleeping so great at night they sleep 6-8 hours a night and during the day they stay awake for a few hours and sleep for a few hours. It's so fun.

Zander I weigh 9 lbs 15 oz and I am 22 inches long. I love to play on the floor with mommy and daddy and I love tummy time. I fight sleep and get overly tired so I cry because I don't know what to do with myself. They only thing that calms me down is to be un-swaddled and given to mommy with my pacifier and a fleece blanket over me touching my head and then mommy has to rock me. I am starting to smile and make more noises. I'm no longer constipated so I sleep so much better and I'm no longer fussy.

Korbin I weight 7 lbs 9 oz and I am 20 inches long. I know i am quite a bit smaller than my brother, but you wait I will catch up. I don't like to play the floor all that much because I like to be swaddled and still get scared like I am going to fall. I'm trying to get the smiling thing down, but when I do smile mommy and daddy love it. I'm a very chill guy and I am very patient. I love my pacifier when it falls out of my mouth I cry until it gets put back in. I love to cuddle with mommy and daddy, and I'm getting to be a better eater I've been eating 4-5 oz at a time.

Getting Big

Zander and Korbin are getting so big, and it makes me so sad, but yet so excited to see all of their changes and growth. At their 4 week appointment Zander weighed 5 lbs 10 oz 19 1/2 inches long and Korbin was 4 lbs and 13 oz 18 1/2 inches long. They gained 2 lbs in 2 weeks from leaving the hospital. All I can say is they eat and eat and eat. Zander can eat 6 oz if we let him (we would let him, but he over eats and throws up so we have to monitor his intake) so we only let him eat 4 1/2 to 5 oz, Korbin eats 4-5 oz. They sleep pretty well at night they can go 4-5 hour stretches some nights its 3, but most of the time its 4-5. Its crazy that they are both still so little, but you can tell their little personalities now. Korbin is so patient and chill, where Zander knows what he wants and won't stop until he gets it. For example when he's hungry he will let you know and there is no calming him down until he can taste the milk. I do laundry at least everyday so you can imagine what our house looks like some days. I do my best to keep it clean and make dinner, but sometimes it just doesn't happen (which is more often than not.) There isn't much more I can tell you about whats been going on in this household, because all they do is eat, sleep, and poop. :)
