Being a MOM

I am still alive and well! I have been with the boys by myself with no help and have done great. It is still very hard and some days are better than others but being a MOM is not as scary as I thought it would be. I want to thank you all for your prayers, advice and encouragement.

Some things about the boys....
John is on gentlease formula now.
John is sitting up better every day.
They are both rolling all over the place.
They both reach for you to pick them up.
They both did great with their cousin who are here visiting.
They both go down at night awake and put themselves to sleep.
They both love their paci's during the day, dont know why they got so attached.
They both are doing wonderful with 2nd foods.
Brandon is talking up a storm (just screaming and fun stuff).
Brandon is loving his sippy cup.

I survived

I did it! I can't believe it! I did it!

well kinda... mom showed up and brought me lunch and help feed the boys but didn't need her if she didn't come. John woke up early this morning so I fed him while Brandon was still asleep and then fed Brandon then gave them both their food. They went down at 9:15 and Brandon woke up at 10:15 and we played while John slept till 10:40ish. Then we all played till my mom got here. We fed the boys at noon and they had spring veggies with brown rice (2nd food) and really took to it. Then I took a shower and mom ended up putting the boys down because they were falling asleep on the floor then she left. John woke up at 2:15ish and we played till Brandon woke up around 2:45ish. Then John took his podee bottle while I fed Brandon. Then they took their food together and now we are playing again. Can't wait for daddy to get home!!!
