The twins will be three months old Sunday and they are doing great! They've had a busy week at 12wks old. Collins and Claire made their first trip to Dallas early Thursday morning to go to the eye doctor and to get their synagis shot (RSV). GiGi and Mom started getting ready for the road trip at 5:00am and was ready to leave the house by 7:00a....Whew...what a morning! We were back in Waxahachie by 12:30 and they were so good. Note to self...if fussy...take a road trip...they slept the whole time!
Friday morning we made another quick trip to the doctors for a weight check. Collins weighs 8lbs 6.5 oz and Claire weighs 9lbs 10 oz. We aren't skipping any meals around here.
Both are still on the monitors but hopefully they will be off of them in a couple of weeks. We've had minor alarm sounds since we have been home. We are anxious to not have to carry them around but at the same time, we sleep good knowing if something goes wrong we will be alarmed. It will be another adjustment for mom and dad when they can't depend on them to alarm when something is wrong.
The kids are great sleepers at night. They have been sleeping 4 to 5 hour stretches at night between feedings, which is very helpful for sanity purposes for everyone in the house...including Lacey! Luckily, we have had GiGi here day and night to help. We rotate feedings at night so that everyone gets a long stretch of sleep. During the day they feed, play, FUSS, and then decide to take a cat nap. The definition of cat nap is "a short nap for mommy to wash bottles, clothes, vacuum dog hair, and maybe blog." Really you only get to do one of those duties during a cat nap!
They are good babies and have no major health problems. Collins has mild reflux and a gassy stomach but things could be a lot worse. Clarie's health problem...well she is an addict when it comes to her pacifier! Bless her heart, she loves her pacifier. Luckily that is mostly during the day...we do not have to get up (yet) in the middle of the night to put it back in her mouth.
So as you can read...all is good on the Roddy Home Front!
