One Month

At one month old you were both still eating every 3 hours. We ere trying to let you go longer in between feedings but you really liked to eat every 3 hours.  Dad and I were getting use to getting up so much. We began to enjoy staying up till 11, I must say I watched more Royals games this summer than I ever have in my life. Towards the end of this month I became better at feeding both of you and I let Dad sleep during the 5 am feeding since he was heading back to work. We were very lucky to have Dad home for 3 whole weeks!

Mom and Moose feeding two babies! 

More very special people came to meet you too!

Great Grandma Ida

Great Aunt Pam - Uncle Robert came too!

Grandma Janis and Grandpa Bruce made another trip up to visit you. You all had a slumber party down stairs so Mom and Dad could get a whole night sleep. The plan was for you to sleep in the Pack 'n Play but you both ended up spending the whole night on Grandma and Grandpa. I think all four of you had a blast!

A Week with Grandma Janis!

Grandma Janis came to visit us for a whole week! Dad and I were very excited to have some help, you boys were are a lot of work! Grandam came with coolers of food and open arms. She couldn't wait to love on you both. It had been a whole week since she had seen you last.

A lot of fun things happened when Grandma was here. You got your first real bath! We had to see Dr. Nelson again this week to check your weight, you both had gained enough that we did have to go back until you were 2 months old! Anyway, when we saw Dr. Nelson he said that your belly buttons had headed enough that you could have a real bath. You both loved this!

 You guys had a blast while Grandma was here, we were all very sad to see her go. She was a huge help! Grandma would stay up for the 11 o'clock feeding with Dad so I could get some sleep. She even got up at 5 every morning to help me feed you so Dad could get some sleep. It was a very special week, we can't wait for her to come back again!

We love you Grandma! Thank you for all of your help, it was a fantastic week!

First Week Home May 29th - June 4th

Bringing you boys home was quite an adventure. Mom and Dad truly had no clue what we were doing or what to expect. Your schedule when we got home was that you boys were eating 2oz bottles every three hours. We would have to take your blankets and shirts off to get you to wake up enough to eat. Both of you lost some weight in the hospital so it was very important that you ate and ate all 2oz.

The first night home from the hospital we set the Pack 'n Play up in our room. 

We did not sleep well and you did not sleep well in there so on night number two we moved you to your bedroom. You two shared a bed for about an hour. You were waking each other up so we decided to put you in your own beds. Plus Dr. Nelson recommended this too. We had a video monitor so I could keep very close tabs on you. 

Grandma and Grandpa came over to watch you while you Dad and I took a nap. They snuggled you the whole time!

Aunt Amy and Uncle Jim also came over to snuggle you so we could take another nap! Uncle Jim actually went to work after we had lunch and Aunt Amy snuggled you both while we napped.

Moose was also very interested in you two. He definitely knew something was up when I was pregnant with you and loved you the moment you walked in the door. From the very beginning he has loved you both!

Aunt Kim and Aunt Becca even came to visit!

We had to go visit Dr. Nelson our first week home, they wanted to make sure you were gaining enough weight. This was our first adventure out of the house with you. 

Mom and Dad went out for our first post baby dinner too. We had a great time but missed you both terribly. We couldn't wait to love on you both as soon as we got home. 

You even got to meet your Great Aunt Terry and Kate and your Cousins Tess and Claire. (We missed Cousin Taylor but you go to meet her later in the summer)

Jeff and Krista even stopped by to meet you too!

It was a very busy week, but next week brought an even better surprise! A whole week with Grandma Janis!
