Spotlighting my boys!

I hope you all will get use to hearing about my boys. They are the biggest part of our lives now, so it's what I will be blogging alot about. :) So stick with me. I don't expect you all to read everything. The blog is my journal, so I need to record all I can about them and our life!

Everyday my boys are growing up. It's amazing just how much they have grown. On Tuesday it will be 4 weeks that they have been in our lives. I really can't imagine life with out them. On Tuesday this past week they had their 3 week check up. I will put their stats from that in just a minute. On Friday we took them in to get circumsized. My poor little guys were so brave. Jensen barely cried. He was actually sleeping while she gave him the shot to numb him. He cries more when I change his diaper. Brad did almost just as well as his brother. I have gotten peed on now several times. I change a diaper about every hour. I have placed a Bounce dryer sheet on the changing table to help out with the smell... lol. My days are spent feeding, burping, changing diapers, cleaning up spit up, washing babies blankets and clothes, cleaning bottles and milking myself and I would not have it any other way. We keep track of the times they eat, how much they eat and if they had a wet or dirty diaper.



Ok so now on to the cute little things about my boys....
