Sweet potatoes

The first day eating solids!

Mmmm.... Moms organic sweet potatoes! Fresh baked today!

They really have seemed to r joy them over the past few days. Mason was a bit fussy at first but did even better the next day.

They are also eating gala apple bits through a silicone "mesh" feeder and drinking unsweetened apple juice and water mix on occasion to help with rice cereal constipation.

Since everyone's talking about it...

Listen.

Do what you think is best for your own family-- but don't guilt out other Moms for doing the same. And further more, Time... You should be ashamed to be pitting Moms against one another to make a buck.

Oh and by the way, YES.
I am "Mom enough" whatever that means. Try raising two boys (or more) at once.

I am Mom enough because I think about my sons over my own personal agenda. I'm sure your Son will be thanking you for all the swirlies and ass-kickings he recieves in junior high over the photo of him you plastered across the country.

There. I'm done. Soapbox retired for now.

My goodness!

Look at these boys!




Could you believe just 8 months ago they were born at 28 weeks and weighed 2 pounds!!!!???
Yesterday at the pediatrician, Mason and Christopher were weighed, measured and tickled silly.

Mason's 8 month (5 1/2 months adjusted) stats.
Weight: 19.3 lbs! (50%, 98% adj)
Length: 27.5 inches (50%, 90% adj)
Head: 44.2 cm (50%, 90% adj)

Christopher's 8 month (5 1/2 months adjusted) stats.
Weight: 17.3 lbs! (25%, 75% adj)
Length: 27.5 inches (50%, 90% adj)
Head: 44.2 cm (50%, 90%

Other than their weight they are pretty much identical... Well that and the fact Christopher is so happy all the time and Mason is either Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde.

Team "Two Tiny Gorillas".

The boys and I (and family and friends) are walking for the March of Dimes tomorrow!  We have been raising funds since February and super excited to be part of the experience.  Tomorrow is also the first day the boys will "come out of RSV season hiding".  So it is a big deal!  No RSV this year and only some minor sniffles a couple of weeks ago.  So far a success!

The boys are also 5 months old adjusted today!  They are SO BIG!  Guessing off their last weights, Mason is about 18 pounds and Christopher is about 17 pounds!  They are HUGE for their adjusted age and especially for being born at 2.14 and 2.15 just over 7 months ago!

Go team "TWO TINY GORILLAS!!!"

It's my birthday-- I'll post this for sure!

I took this about week ago.

My boys are now 3 months old adjusted since the 27th.

I can't believe it. Coming up on 6 months old gestation.

I have so much to update. I don;t even know where to begin or where I left off.

Hopefully, for my birthday, I will be gifted the time to blog! :)

Thanks all for bearing with me. Crazy busy is an understatement!

Good grief. Tomorrow ladies... I blog-ith!!!

For now an awesome quote I found on a Moms of Multiples group page that belong to.

It's about those beautiful stretch marks... Replace "7 months" to "6" for me :)

"A mark for every breath you took, every blink, every sleepy yawn. One for every time you sucked your thumb, waved hello, closed your eyes and slept in the most perfect darkness. One for every time you had the hiccups. One for every dream you dreamed within me. It isn't very pretty anymore. Some may even think it ugly. That's OK. It was your home. It's where I first grew to love you, where I lay my hand as I dreamed about who you were and who you would be. It held you until my arms could, and for that, I will always find something beautiful in it."
