Babies in Denim

Don't you just love pictures of babies in denim overalls.. I know that I do..

So here are Miss Lily and Miss Anna (asleep) in their denim overalls that were given to us by a really good friend of ours in Oregon. Thank you Miss Nora.

3 months old

I can barely believe that the girls are officially 3 months old today. It feels unreal to me. Like they've been here forever but yet not.. Still no official schedule for them but I keep plugging away at my efforts to get them there. At least they sleep through the night.

It will all pass eventually

Seems like nothing lately is easy here.. Lots of Ups and Downs.. ok too many downs of late but hopefully things will be looking up soon. I have PPD (post partum depression) and it's kicking my butt in ways that I never knew it could. I hate feeling like this and that my life has been reduced to this so quickly. I want my real life back. I want to be normal again. I want to stop crying all the time. I want to be happy.

12 weeks and growing like weeds

How can it have been 12 weeks since Anna and Lily have come into our lives.. granted they won't officially be 3 months old till the 12th of August but I'm constantly amazed by them everyday.



At their last Ped appt Anna weighed in at 12 lbs and 1 ounce 22 inches and Lily weighed in at 11 lbs 7 ounces 22.25 inches. Holy cow.. in the words of the Pediatrician, they have never met a bottle they didn't like. They also got 3 shots done and got an oral drink. These shots will be repeated at the 4 month and the 6 month appointments. They had no ill effects from the shots at all. Well there was some extra fussiness but that was to be expected. I had some Baby Tylenol on hand so we gave them that to help with the fussies.
