4-month Doctor appt

See? We have big noodles!

I have little babies, but they are so chunky! They are my little chunky monkeys. Even though the scales say otherwise. Let's break it down:

Jules

Weight: 10lb, 2oz (not even on the charts *sigh* below the 3rd percentile)

Height: 23.5 inches (25th percentile)

Head Circ: 15.75 inches (25th)

Basically she is skinny minny tall thing. You all know my constant fear of having a tall girl and short boy. (I am 5'1", Jake is 6'1") I wouldn't mind them both being tall though, but please let poor little Josh grow, grow grow! I don't want my stupid genes to stunt his poor height!

Josh

Weight: 11lb, 3.5oz (not even on the charts as well, the 3rd percentile is 12lbs, so he's close!!)

Height: 24 inches (17th percentile)

Head Cir: 15.95 inches (10th percentile)

I honestly don't know what to make of this. Josh has serious rolls, I mean, serious, chunky, "wanna eat them up" rolls. And a huge noggin! Oh well, we do what we can. They are both growning fantasically though, and have both doubled their birth weight, so all I can ask for is happy healthy babies, which I have!

We're four months old!!

How are my babes already FOUR MONTHS OLD??? I love you sweet Josh and Jules!

Ta Da!!

Have you ever seen a more precious girl in your life?

Cutie pie Josh!

Uh Oh, here we go...Poor Josh


And then we have a swift kick in the face. Nice.

15-16 Week Slideshow

This one is much better! Whew! Mommy is back to being the picture-taking fool that she is.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers out there, soon-to-be mothers, and those future mothers still struggling to become mommies.


When I got home from work on Friday, my sweet, sweet nanny had a surprise for me. She had made artwork with the babies for me for Mother's Day. I was told to wait in the kitchen with my eyes closed, and then she told me to come in the living room. I found my sweet babies in their Bumpos with their fabulous pictures. Josh's picture has his footprints in a heart, and Jules's picture has a footprint flower. SO SWEET! I am so blessed!

Yoohoo! Over here!

Josh would rather play with his


What is this that I can play with?

Never mind. I'll just throw it at mommy

Bad Mom Slideshow Weeks 13-14

Well, it has happened. I knew that when I had become a "working mother" I would still have time for all kinds of fun things: like picture taking and blogging. Well, I have, sadly, suffered in both. I have been a complete slacker when it comes to blogging and an even bigger one when it comes to photo-taking. That's why I haven't yet posted a slideshow. I only have pictures from one day in two weeks. ONE DAY! I only took pictures of my sweet babies on one day that my mother and my Aunt Clara came to visit. how sad is that? Now, in realizing this, I have taken a gazillion since then, so not to worry. But, I still feel terrible. Poor neglected babies, LOL.



So, here is our measly slideshow from weeks 13-14

Nashville flooding

This past weekend my beautiful city flooded. Many landmarks were under water: Opryland Hotel, Grand Ole Opry, Schemerhorn Symphony, the Country Music Hall of Fame, LP Field (where the TN Titans play), and the Bridgestone Arena. It is very sad and very surreal. Thankfully, my family is dry and safe. Our old neighborhood where we used to live was not so lucky. All of the homes in that subdivision were underwater. Its crazy! I could not imagine what I would have done with two infants, two cats, a husband and nothing else. Yes, I know its all just stuff. But with babies, its important stuff. Nowhere to sleep, nothing to wear, no diapers, etc etc etc. I could not imagine. These poor poor people. I really wish I could volunteer to do something, but what two babies and working, how can I? I can donate money, and of course that is needed, but I wish I could do more. Maybe I can find someone to sit with them this weekend. I hate feeling helpless...Anyway, I wanted to share with you all how awful it really is. Again, sometimes I feel so blessed!! My babies will always remember that on the year they were born Nashville experienced something for the record books!

Sad week for the Baby Stribs

This was a sad but eventful week for our sweet babes. As in all twins lives, a day must come when they will no longer sleep side by side. That day was Wednesday, April 28th. On that day our nanny decided they should probably be separated so they could sleep a bit easier. So Josh slept all by his lonesome is his crib, and Jules was moved over to hers. They looked so small and lonely all there by themselves. But ya know what? She was probably right. They have slept better. They aren't keeping each other up. In fact, they probably like it. But mama doesn't :(
