Well I am back at it again....
Some of you may think that I haven't blogged because I have been extremely busy with basketball, or raising two babies but in all reality its because I have lost my email...lol not my password...my stinking account information. Yes. Welcome to Motherhood.
Since we have been home Payge has gotten to come off of her Apnea Monitor. She is doing so good. She did not have any episodes while she was on it and has been growing so fast. She went from our little Peanut to a chunky monkey. Lol. Everywhere we take her people say she looks like a baby doll. She has such a sassy personality. She only likes her bottle a certain way, to be held a certain way, to lay a certian way, etc.. She has learned to take Parker's pacifier from his mouth as well as pull his hair. She loves to smile and laugh. She is so fun.
Parker is still on his monitor and has changed formulas 3 times but his Brady episodes have decreased. He went from bilet splints every 3 hours to permanent casts up to his hips. We go to OU Children's Medical Hospital in OKC 1x a week now for the next 6 weeks. While we were at the hospital they kept telling us it was positional when the surgeon told us yesterday it was club feet. I used to think Club feet was a bad word and didn't want it to label my son...but its not bad and I have also finally came to terms that I didn't do anything to cause it. Parker has started rolling over from his belly to his back. He has a Tigger that he just loves to cling on to. We call it his Tig Tig. He loves to take his pacifer and be held by females-has some Ott in him. Lol.
Being home, without the help of nurses, has been trial and error. We are lucky enough to have great neighbors and friends who have helped out. Being 90 miles from "home" has been hard but we try to get to DeDe and Pops house as often as we can. The babies are eating about every 4-4.5 hours and wake up around 2:30 and 6:30 every morning. Summer basketball camps are finally over, so just work outs still remaining. Life is busy, hectic, overwhelming but oh so fun.
When we heard that we were having twins, we were so excited and without the help of other mother's with multiples we would have no clue what to do. We now have bath time, feeding in boppy's, early morning feedings and fussy time down! Not to a perfection...but we are getting there. I have an amazing husband and a wonderful support team. THank you to everyone who has helped.
Long gone are the days of getting dressed up-I think every black t shirt I own has some type of drool or spit up stain on it. Long gone are the days of sleeping in, just going somewhere for the day, long hot showers, running to the store for a quick bit, watching movies, eating in resturants, etc....
But hello to the days of cuddle time, crying because you hurt for your child, milestone moments of laughs and smiles or rolling overs, and sitting on the couch to ignore the laundry so you can lay with them, breathe them in and love on them.
Welcome to Motherhood!!
