Fun Night

Despite the fact that I was running late leaving work today and had to run to my car through the poring rain, we had a great night!
I was just getting home from our walk when Eric was pulling down the street. Since we had time before the babies were supposed to eat again we did another lap around our half of the sub (3/4 of a mile). Then he ran to get the dry cleaning and pick up some dinner (Taco Bell). Between the 2 of us we finished the 1st round of feeding the babies and had time to play with them before the 2nd feeding and bed. (We do a cluster feeding right before bed to get more food in them so they will sleep longer at night.)
We had the babies on their tummies for a while, Eric read them a book, and they helped me put together their new activity center. They are still a bit young for the activity center, because they are just starting to get better at holding up their heads for longer amounts of time. But I put Leah and Ethan into the seat for a couple minutes and they both really liked getting to sit up and look around, they didn't even mind that I didn't have all the toys assembled yet. They didn't last too long in the seat before they started to have a meltdown from being sleepy. But with all the play time they pretty much slept through the 2nd feeding and went right to bed with happy dreams of playing with their new toys.

Poor Logan had to sit up after eating so he wouldn't spit-up.


Missy was excited about the new toys too

35 Weeks

Image
A couple weeks ago while in the hospital I was just hoping to make it to 34 weeks, and here we are at 35 weeks...only 8 more days to go. I had a doctor appointment on Friday and the babies still looked great, so it's up to me to take it easy for one more week and drink a whole bunch of water to keep the contractions away. My belly is really starting to feel heavy when I stand up and while sitting, as it rests on my legs. In all I'm still not all too uncomfortable. Yesterday was my 29th birthday. I was thinking about how people always want to reflect back and say they are still 29...I'm sure my hugeness isn't what they are imagining. I've been upstairs for the most part lately, avoiding the steps. So instead of taking my pictures in my usual spot I had to find someplace upstairs. I'm in front of the babies room door. For fun I took pictures from every angle. Hopefully I'll get one more set of pictures next week.

Yarrrr

It was a nice day and we couldn't help but take our little buccaneers to the park and of course by the water. Yes, today was talk like a pirate day...yarrr. We've been working on getting them to hold our hand while walking in public. If they don't hold our hand they get carried. Their response was if, if you are going to hold my hand I'm going to sit. Two of them sat half way across the bridge so we had the third sit and hoped to get a picture of all three. The following pictures are what we ended up with.

The Floor

Image
For some reason it is just so much fun to throw food on the floor... The babies have gotten really bad over the last few days about throwing food on the floor. They will scoop up huge hand fulls of food and just chuck it. The other day I came up with a solution that seemed to work, I gave them spoons. I helped them put food on the spoon and get it into their mouths. Ethan was even picking up food and placing it on his spoon and tried to get it into his mouth. I just hope the novelty of the spoon doesn't wear off too soon, Missy (our dog) is getting a little chunky. Ethan Logan Leah
