Busy Life

Hello, we are still here. Actually, we don't get out much...

The babies are keeping us very busy, to the point where I have a difficult time getting a shower in daily when Tim is back to work. Thank God for great friends who have continued to visit and help out. My friend Lisa stayed today so I could take a 2.5 hour nap. It's those type of gestures that mean so much right now...being sleep deprived sucks.

The babies are doing good; growing like weeds, of course. We are having some feeding issues right now as they have been falling asleep during feedings and not taking in too much food at each time. This results in feedings every hour on the hours, which is a bummer, especially during the night times. We've switched bottles today, so hoping that we see some better results from here on out.

We've also been dealing with an eye infection that they've passed back and forth between themselves. It resulted in Bronson getting weighed last Friday and he is 7 lb. 3 oz already, and Landon has to be very close to that. They will have their 6 week check up next Thursday already! How time flies!

Gage is doing well. We've had some expected challenges with him...vying for our attention. But no matter what a stinker he is to Tim and I, he is a fabulous big brother. He has not showed one ounce of aggression to either of his brothers. He is very loving toward them, kissing them often, and even helping to feed. The other day when he finished feeding Landon (I was right there, of course), he took the bib and gently wiped Landon's mouth with it, just like a gentle little daddy. It was precious. He loves them so much, and will even talk to them and say, "When you get bigger, we can go outside on my swingset" and things like that.

Here are a few pictures that I have time to upload....

Here Gage all dressed up at Gabby's house; as you can see he didn't want his picture taken and actually got in a time out for spitting at me right after I took it!

For those wondering how I feed two babies at a time, here is a picture I took of myself right after feeding both boys...
it's rare I have to do it this way, but when they are both screaming at the same time, I put one against each leg and just sit and hold the bottles!

They're Always Listening....

So today was my very first day home alone with all three boys. Tim went back to work. I did fine, even though it is going to be a learning process....but that is neither here nor there.

This post is about something hilarious that happened at dinner tonight.

Tim and I were talking and he made reference to my being home alone with the three boys now, and it would be stressful for me, and he made a comment as to whether or not I could handle it without help, etc.

I was a little offended, and exclaimed, "Of course it's stressful! Getting used to having just HIM around here was stressful!" (and I nodded at Gage).

Gage, who was eating and quite obviously listening intently exclaimed, "I'm not stress-able!"

It was too funny. I wish you could have heard it.
