Doctors, bath and cribs!

SO I just realized that I never updated you all from last week. Life is going good. Still crazy, and still sleepy!! Jensen and Brad are growing very well. At their docs appointment last week Brad weighed 12.3 lbs 23 1/2 inches and I can't remember his head, but I do know it was in the 75%. Jensen weighed 12.2 lbs and was 22 1/2 inches and same on head. I forgot the slip that has the info on it. My big chubby boys! They are doing great. healthy, and no problems. Everyone is always so happy to see them, and thanks Angie for helping me hold them during the visit! Its always fun to see you guys.

Jensen and Brad are starting to smile so much more and it just melts my heart. They will do it for several minutes at a time too. They just look up and give me huge smiles, but of course once I whip my camera out they stop for the most part. I have yet to get a picture of their BIG smiles where their dimples show. It is the cutest thing. They also LOVE baths! I think they might be little swimmers. With my wide big feet they got it's like flippers! lol... we finally moved them from the boppies to the bassinettes and just barely from the bassinettes to the cribs. They are doing ok. They still don't sleep for long periods of time. But for the most part they are doing well. I finally made the decision to stop pumping. Ever since my gallbladder was removed my milk went down. And then with the boys getting thrush I had to stop breastfeeding them and my milk got even less. And it was too stressful to always try and fit in a pumping session. They would always wake up right during the beginning of it. So to make my life less stressful we just moved them to formula full time... which is so stinking expensive. They go through a 30 oz. can in about 2 1/2 -3 days and it's $24 a can. SO we spend about $100 on formula each time we go to the store. Jason calls it their liquid cocaine.

They are such smart boys. Jensen was playing a little game with me the other day. I put his binky in, he spit it out and smiled at me. I started to laugh, put it in again and he spit it out and smiled again. Then I put it in a third time and he sucked a couple of sucks and spit it out and smiled at me. It was the funniest thing. Such cute personalities. And Brad when he cries towards the end of the cry it sounds like he is singing. His cry will go down the scales. Absolutely love it. He also looks like a bull dog when he does the pouty lip. They are also very gasy boys. It's the formula, but I feel bad for them. I can tell it is really uncomfortable for them.

I love them, and can't imagine my life without them. My mom came up on thursday and spent the whole afternoon with me. I am working on making finger puppets for them for church when they get a little older. So she helped me with those and we also went for a nice long walk. The boys just love getting outside. Anytime I take them out even just on the blanket they are so happy and content. They really are such good babies. It's only hard when they both start to cry at the same time. I have to hurry to make them calm down so they don't wake up Jason in the morning. Oh, that is another thing Jasons work OMNITURE is getting bought out by ADOBE. And Jason said it looks like they wont be letting go anyone in his department yet. So that is good. They pay for schooling, and have better benefits. So it should be a good thing all around. I guess we shall see...
I hope you all are doing great!!

This is Jensen. He just loves the water!!. I forgot to mention that about a month ago my two wonderful friends (who are also friends with each other) had their babies on the same day in the same hospital. A baby boy from Karli and a Baby girl from Susie. Susie above, and Karli is below. I love these two women. They are great people and have been even better friends to me. Thanks for all the great times you guys. Brads Bulldog face
