Week Two

(10/18) Dad went back to work today.  His coworkers got him a joke clock that was set to go off every hour.  I suggest every two, since that's the kind of sleep we're operating on.  Sorry, honey! 

First solo day went great.  Kathy kidnapped C for the afternoon, and the little boys and I got to hang out, sleep, and catch up on TiVo'd programs. 

Burritos!  D on the left, J on the right

(10/19) Hey, look at that!  Instant human, just add sleep!  J slept six consecutive hours last night and D took a five hour morning nap.  I can definitely get used to sleep like this!

We ventured out to take C over to play with Jordan, and then ran errands that didn't require the little bits leaving the car.  The kiddos did some serious napping today.  I wonder how this bodes for tonight.

(10/20) Oy.  Another brutal night of sleep.  I will be spending my day cat-napping and trying to be functional.

Pediatrician visit today.  J weighed in at 5lb 9.6oz - 0.6oz up from birth weight and D weighed in at 5lb 11.2 oz, 1.4oz down from birth weight.  It's funny because J feels heavier now than D, but D still weighs a tiny bit more.

The rest of the visit went well and we'll go back in another week for their two-week checkup.

The boys are down for a nap and I am coffee'd up.  Ahhh!

(10/21) And we have belly buttons!  Cute little outties!

Both boys have found their thumbs.  They can usually get the thumb in, but the rest of the their hand covers their faces.  I have yet to get a picture, but it's pretty funny.

Sarah kidnapped C again today so we spent the day sleeping / doing laundry.  Amazing how two small little guys can generate so much! 

(10/22) I hesitate to say this, but I think we're on to something sleep-wise.  Two pretty good nights in a row - we're on a streak!

Granddad took C to hockey today, and the little boys and I took a long nap.  Then we watched napped through Tron with C once he got back.

(10/23) Carved pumpkins today!  J was impressed:

(10/24) Yep, I jinxed it.  It took them a good three hours to go to sleep last night.  Thankfully, Dad and I were both off today and could take full advantage of nap time!
