Weeks 3 and 4
Well hello there, today marks the 4th Thursday the boys have spent in this world. I cannot believe that they are already a month old! It feels like it's been one extremely long, tiring day that never ends. And I day that in the most loving way possible, hehe.
The last week has been spent over at my parents house on Clinton Road. We have officially had to say goodbye to the last house of my childhood. I can't believe it finally happened. The last day was supposed to be on Sunday, but you know my family is never going to go quietly or without a bang. Raph ended up having a seizure while getting ready for church and they had to call 911 and get an ambulance ride to the hospital. Luckily he is okay and was just over worked and exhausted causing his blood pressure to go up way too high.
Every day we've been arriving at about 2pm, the earliest we could manage to get out. There has been nothing in the house comfortable for watching two infants and a toddler so it's been rough; pumping milk, changing diapers, convincing Aria to nap...all on the ground, yeah, it's been trying. But I am definitely glad that I was there. The last month everyone has gotten to go through all there things and pack and weed out, all while I was super pregnant and then dealing with newborns. I was feeling like I was missing out on the final goodbyes. It almost killed us, but Kevin and I and our 3 beautiful babies spend the last days together with my family. We ended it all on Tuesday by digging up our old family dog Theo and bringing him home to Grammy's house. Before driving away for the last time, I stood in my old room with Gabby and thought about all the living that had been done there. I really changed from a scared teenaged to a confidant married mother of three and that room saw it all. I had thought my last night was going to be the night before my wedding, where we had a slumber party with Brigid and Caky. But low and behold a year and a half later I was back with hubby and baby in tow. The last year spend with my family has been very unique, and not in the plan, but I wouldn't change it for the world.
Boys had there 4 week appointment today and both gained 2 pounds! They are normal baby sized now! Patch is 7lbs and 10oz (50% for adjusted age 4% for actual) and Jamie is 6lbs and 7oz (15% for adjusted age and not on the charts for actual). I'm so proud that they are growing big and strong. We don't go back til their 2 month check in which they are supposed to get shots, which makes me nervous. I need to so some research on it to see what I want to do.
Patch is my happy little piggy. He loves to sleep and eat. He wakes up on cue every 3 hours day or night for his meal. He is becoming more aware of his surrounding. He loves to look around and I swear he is starting to smile. His eyes are still looking blue right now, and his hair is bleach blond. He's going to be a cutie.
Jamie is my little love. He has the most adorable face with his little nose, big eyes and protruding top lip. He definitely has more of an "Aria" temperament (thought no one could be as bad as her). He's more gassy than his brother and has more fits of crying. I'm going to get him some gripe water and see if it helps, that was the only thing that ever calmed Aria down.
Aria has been absolutely wonderful with her brothers. She truly does love them. She wants to be around them and touch them and hold them. Tonight we were doing our first tummy time and Aria laid right on the ground with them so cute the entire time. I can't believe she will be 2 on Sunday. Time flies when your making babies!
Carol is in town for Aria's birthday and watched her while we went to the doctor's appointment. I think it was a good bonding experience for her to spend time with Aria. Since she moved to Oregon she hasn't seen her and that was 3 months ago.
Well, I've got a crying baby, my little Jameson, who needs his mommy.
Until next time, xoxo Rosie
