Christmas comes but 4 times a year!!

Our Christmas started on Saturday when Nana H came over with presents and a visit! The presents had bows that light up which entertained us for quite some time!! We LOVE lights!

Meeting Auntie Jill

Now that the fall semester is over we were finally able to meet our Auntie Jill! Too bad she wasnt feeling well and was only able to come for a short visit...

Oh No! 1st Shots!!

Today we had our 2 month doctor appointment and got our first set of shots. We cried.... real tears which made Mommy cry (when did she turn into such a softie?!?)!

Sofia: 10 lbs 4.5 oz, 22 inches long
Maia: 8 lbs 14.5 oz, 22 inches long

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It is snowing again! I never even got to drive my car after cleaning it off 2 days ago!
And since we are too young to play in it (I cant very well put them in snowsuits and have them making snow angels!!), we decided to have a photoshoot! The girls didnt have as much fun as the mommy did.

Say cheese!

This past week we have been all smiles! Of course as soon as the camera came out we got bashful... or it could be because we were naked!!
(Needless to say I got no pictures of their smiles but they still look wicked cute!!)

First ultrasounds outside the womb

Yesterday we had our appointment with the pediatric radiologist to have our belly ultrasounds. The good news is they were able to see the sugar water going into our bellies and see the belly walls. So I guess that means it is nothing worse than acid reflux. We refilled our Rx of Zantac and will continue with that.

Concerned family members patiently awaited our return home to visit with us. It had been over a week since we had seen Mimi and we also met our Great Auntie Dee!

We were so tired after a long and exciting day that Sofia went to bed at 8:30pm and slept until 2:30am.... 6 HOURS!! And Maia finally caught on, she slept from 9pm until 2am.... 5 HOURS!!
And the Mommy went to bed at 10:30pm so I got 3.5 CONSECUTIVE hours of sleep, the most I have had in MONTHS!
Yay for sleeping babies! Hopefully this is the start of a trend and not a fluke! I guess we'll see tonight...

The Sleep Whisperer

Last Saturday we finally met our purple-haired tattoo-bearing Auntie Kristin. She came and played with us while did baths, and she wore us out!

That night Sofia slept from 9pm - 2am! Since then she has slept 4.5-5 hrs almost every night! Too bad Maia was still up every 2-3 hrs....
