This is stolen from someone else's blog that I read, but boy does it sum up my life perfectly right now...

I have never been so exhausted and overwhelmed. I have never felt so underprepared and incompetent. And yet I have never been so happy. The kind of happy that is full and deep and peaceful. I am at peace.

Life with the boys is crazy..I doubt myself at least 15 times a day, wonder how I could be given such miracles and feel like I am failing my whole family all at once...there are ups and downs, and good days and bad days, there are very bad days when I count the minutes until my husband comes home from work, starting when he leaves out the door, there are really great days when I lay in bed with one or the other and nurse him and feel pure bliss.

It is a rollercoaster but one I am so excited and thankful to be on..

Teeth!

I forgot to post that Luke has 2 teeth coming in, they have broken the skin and they are slowly dropping. I discovered them at 10 1/2 weeks old...no mistake about it, they are teeth! He has been pretty good about them but I can tell they bother him off and on...

Eons...

Since I have written. I am just so busy, and I update Facebook all the time rather than blogging. And I think most people who read my blog, follow me there, so everyone knows what my beans are up to...but just so I remember I want to jot a few things down here.

On May 12th, the boys had their 2 months well baby visit. Blake weighed 9 pounds 8 ounces and was 22 1/4 inches long and Luke weighed 9 pounds 13 ounces and was 22 inches long. Huge growth! But still in the 2-3% on the charts...17th for height.

We discovered teeth coming in on Luke when he was 10 weeks 2 days old...yes, way too early, but they are there, a tiny piece of sharp white is now poking through...he tries to chew everything, but can't hold anything himself. His favorite thing to chew is his brother when they are laying on their mat.

They sleep okay...4 hour stretches at night, it would be nice if it were longer but I know that will come....they start solids at 4 months and all will be well I hope!

We went to see a pediatric gastro doctor to see about some reflux and both were diagnosed with it...so now both babies are on prevacid and a different formula...

I am still nursing and pumping a lot. Both babies know how to nurse and will do it but they both are more used to the bottle and prefer that so either baby will take a whole meal from me yet...I hope one day to change that.

Our family got a new car, well van. We got a new Honda Odyssey due to lack of space for our family and love, love it.

The babies are pretty good babies, coming up on 3 months old now...they are overall pretty happy and healthy. We are blessed. They are smiling and will giggle if you work hard for it and they have the best little personalities...they are loved, for sure.
