Back to work for Mommy :(

Today is Mommy's first day back at work:( Mommy was very sad to leave the twins, but happy that Daddy is staying home with them for two weeks. After that, the Grandparents and Aunts are taking turns watching the babies for a few weeks, which makes Mommy feel much better!

Trey reached out and grabbed something for the first time today! He picked up Bella's butterfly slipper while Mommy was changing his diaper! I guess he didn't want to let his sister get ahead of him!

Grabbing!

Bella reached out and grabbed something for the first time today! She picked up a little pink stuffed animal lamb with a rattle in it and put it on her belly while Mommy was changing her diaper!

12 weeks

Trey and Bella are 12 weeks old today. My, how the time does fly!

No more formula in the bottles

Mommy and Daddy decided that the nighttime formula bottle is not Trey and Bella to sleep any longer. We tried for a few days, and it does nothing, so we would rather have the babies drink what nature intended.

They will no longer be getting formula and will have all breast milk once again.

Thanksgiving

Today is Bella and Trey's first Thanksgiving!

They will be visiting Mom Mom and Pop Pop's house in the morning while Daddy plays football and then will be going to Grandmom's house in the afternoon!

Tried formula to help with sleep - didn't work!

Apparently, the formula doesn't help babies sleep longer if they don't take enough!

Trey was awake again in a few hours like normal.

Bella did sleep longer but we think that is because she was fussy due to her shots so she slept with Daddy. The babies always sleep longer when they sleep with Daddy since he's so warm!

Trey and Bella had another visit to the Pediatrician's office today for their 2nd Synagis injection for RSV. Both cried a little but were very brave.

Check up

Trey and Bella had a check up at the Pediatrician today.
Trey now weighs 7 pounds 3 ounces and is 20 1/2 inches long!

Bella now weighs 6 pounds 12 ounces and is 19 1/4 inches long!

Both got a clean bill of health along with 5 immunizations each. Yikes!

Trey and Bella both had their first bottle of formula today. Dr. Krol said that it should help them sleep a little longer at night so that Mommy can get some sleep before going back to work on Monday. Bella took 3 1/2 ounces and Trey took 3 ounces ~ Both a little less than their usual night time breast milk bottles.

11 weeks

Trey and Bella are 11 weeks old today!

Babies Met Santa!

Bella and Trey had their photo taken with Santa Claus today!

Size 1 diapers

Mommy survived her first overnight alone with the twins! The babies must have knew it would be hard for Mommy because they were much better than usual!

Trey graduated to size 1 diapers! He does yet meet the weight requirement, but the newborn diapers can no longer hold his "presents" to Mommy and Daddy.

Mommy's beautiful ring

Mommy is so proud of herself! She took both babies on an outing today all by herself! We went to pick up the ring that Daddy bought for Mommy for having his babies! It's beautiful!

Let's Go Eagles

The twins are 10 weeks old today! Where has the time gone?

Mommy dressed the babies in their eagles outfits today to surprise Daddy! When Daddy came downstairs, he laughed at Mommy since the Eagles are playing tomorrow, not today. Silly Mommy should have known this since Daddy is going to the Monday night game! Trey and Bella will wear their gear next week and we will take pictures.

Due date

Happy due date to Mommy! Funny, how the babies are 67 days old today!

9 weeks

Trey and Bella are 9 weeks old today! Both are doing great!

Two months old!

Trey and Bella are 2 months old today!!!! Mommy and Aunt Danielle took Trey and Bella to have their first professional photos done today!

Lets give the cribs a try

Mommy and Daddy tried establishing a new bed time routine for the babies since they are almost two months old now. We gave them each a bath with Lavender Bath wash, dressed them in their pajamas, and fed them bottles of breast milk mixed with their vitamins.

We then brought them upstairs and put them in one of their cribs! This was the first time they slept in their cribs! They did great, only fussing a little!
Mommy didn't get much sleep since she was up listening to the monitor all night! LOL!

The babies were also on very different feeding schedules last night and Mommy didn't want to wake them up when the other awoke since this was their first night in the crib.

Sleep? Not so much!

Last night was our worst night since the babies were home. Bella and Trey both cried for hours on end for no reason! Mommy and Daddy never really got to bed! Let's hope that doesn't have a repeat performance.

Smiles and Laughs

Trey and Bella both surprised Mommy today! Bella smiled at her Daddy for the first time today! Trey laughed, actually laughed at his Aunt Danielle while she tickled him! Mommy thought it was too early for these milestones, but Trey and Bella surprise her every day!
