Updates...

Well, I guess I need to update everyone on how we're doing!! The boys nurse came over yesterday and Mitchell weighed in at 10.6 lbs. and Parker was 9 lbs. It really is unbelievable to look back at pictures from December and see how far they've come!! God is good!! Parker went to the urologist for his hernia and is scheduled to have surgery on March 27th. This surgery I guess is pretty common, but I am still nervous for him to be put under!! He will have it done at Vanderbilt Children's hospital (which is an awesome hospital!!) and stay the night to be monitored for apnea spells (which we hope will not be an issue!!) Anyways, please keep him in your prayers that God will protect him during this procedure!! Other than that our lives are pretty uneventful!! I am feeding the boys about 4 ounces every 3 hours and their last feeding (between 8-9p.m.) I try to get 6 ounces down so they will sleep longer. They usually make it to around 3 a.m. before they're ready to eat again!! Funny story...Kyle was in Chicago last week for work so mom spent the night with us (b/c I'm scared to stay by myself!!) Anyways, mom was paranoid that we wouldn't hear the boys on the monitor, and I of course reassured her that they would be fine and we would definitely hear them!! As it turns out we didn't wake up until 5 a.m. the next morning because I forgot to turn the monitor on!! We ran up there and Mitchell was still asleep and Parker was awake, but not crying or anything, he was just looking around!! I felt horrible!! So, I guess they just woke up and cried themselves to sleep!! That will be one of those shining moments of parenting that I will look back on and be so proud of~ha!! what a moron I am!! Anyways, it did run through my mind though that I wonder if I just let them cry for a couple of nights if they would figure it out that they are supposed to sleep through the night!! But, of course, I'm not going to do that (just yet anyways)!! I guess I need to talk to their pediatrician and see when we could start doing that because I know at some point you are supposed to let them scream it out otherwise we will NEVER sleep through the night!! But anyways, the boys have started becoming very alert!! They look at you when you talk to them and are very interested at looking at their toys!! We had one yuckie day last week where they were just freeking out all day. I think it's because we didn't leave the house!! They really like getting out~I guess they take after their mommy in that respect because I go nuts if I don't leave the house every day!! So, as a whole...things are getting MUCH better!! Every day seems to be getting easier and easier!! For a long time the thought of having anymore children was a nightmare!! But, now I am starting to come around...not that I want them anytime soon, but I do think we will eventually (maybe when the boys start school) have 1 or 2 more!! Anyways, that's our life for now!! They got their 3 month pictures on Monday, so we'll get some of those pictures up sometime next week!!
