We're still doing great!

It has been a little while since my last post, and I have to say that that is because my babies are doing so good, that I rarely have time to update (oh and the fact that there is 2 of them! hehe). Since my last update, nothing much has changed with the babies. Today we had a doctor's appointment for their 4 month check up and we got nothing but a great report. The babies are still gaining weight very well. Grady now weighs 12 lbs. 2.5 oz. and Adalynn weighs 10 lbs. 13.5 oz. Needless to say....the babies are getting a little heavy!! :) We can now go out and about with the babies. Since they have been home we have pretty much been on house arrest, only taking them to family's houses and the doctor. I am very excited about being able to take the babies places....it will give me a chance to show them off ;)!

For the past week, the babies have been sleeping through the night. Praise Jesus, HALLELUJAH! Their sleeping through the night could not have come at a better time. Two babies and lack of sleep made for one tired, and irritable mommy! I am sure that Taylor is so happy that I am getting more sleep because I am in a much better mood! haha

On another note, the babies are still receiving my breast milk. Grady doesn't get as much as Adalynn because he is supplemented with an Acid Reflux formula, but he still gets enough to do him good! Adalynn gets my breast milk for every feeding except for two. For those two feedings she gets a special preemie formula. The babies are so healthy and I know that it has a lot to do with them getting the good old liquid gold!

This past weekend the babies got to make their first trip to Grandmama and Granddaddy's house. (Taylor's parents) We had such a good time visiting with family. It was extra special considering it was the first time for Grady and Adalynn to meet their cousins; Hudson, Harper, and Hadley. Hudson was very sweet with the babies and he would make sure to tell me if they were crying. Harper and Hadley are getting so big! They would crawl over to the babies and try to take their pacifiers. It was so cute!

I go back to work on April 3rd. I originally thought I was going to get to stay out for the rest of the year, but I was wrong. The district only allows you to be out so many days so I have to go back. I am anxious to get back in the groove and start a routine with my babies. I know my  mom is ready to start watching the babies full time! :) It has been a blessing getting this much time off from work! I also owe a big thank you to my team at school....they have been so helpful with my class and I am so thankful for each of them.

And for your viewing pleasure.....




Much love to all,

Jessica

  1. Pictures of cute babies! Love it! I'm glad you are getting out and about. Being stuck at home is no fun. While you may not be happy about coming back to work, I'm selfish, so I'm looking forward to it. Congrats on getting to sleep through the night. Just wait until they are teenagers--because it stops then ;-)
