excuses, excuses...


The only excuse I have for not updating the blog are the two sweet babes up above ;)  They keep me more than busy!  But you are all in luck- Randy now has access to a computer for recreational use so I have to do a better job since he can access the blog.  I'm not sure where blogging will fit into our schedule, but I'll find a way.  Maybe instead of eating or sleeping?  Oh wait, we don't do much of that these days either!  

We have been so fortunate to have extra help since Brooklyn was born.  My mom flew out the day she was born.  My dad and Carla arrived while she was still in the NICU.  After they left, Johna and her sweet family came and then my sister after that.  I can't thank everyone enough for all their help.  They truly came to our rescue when we really needed them!  I'm certain I would not have survived the past two months without you guys.  I really can't thank you enough!

We've been flying solo since Tuesday and so far so good.  Yesterday both babes had their well baby check up appointments.  I scheduled them back to back.  I'm still not sure if that was a good idea or not :)    Noah weighed 23.1 pounds and was 32".  He is in the 25% for his weight.  I don't remember for his height, but it was pretty comparable.  Brooklyn weighed 8.8 pounds and was 21.3".  With her adjusted age (35 weeks), she is in the 65% for her weight and 82% for her height.  I'm so proud of her!  

We kept today simple and it worked great.  We read lots of books, played outside and watched Daddy read on the tv.  Twice.  I even managed a few loads of laundry, cleaned my bathroom and took an extra hot bubble bath!  Huge success if you ask me! :)  

My next post will be Brooklyn's birth story.  I really want to start at the beginning of this journey.  It's been unreal to be honest, but I wouldn't change a thing.  I love these babes more than I ever thought possible and every day I love them more and more... it's truly amazing!

Happy 4th of July!

Our sweet baby girl!

Here is our sweet little Brooklyn!  She's already 5 weeks old and I have no idea where the past month has gone.  I have so much that I want to update about and share, but we've been so busy!  I really will try though~ promise! ;)
