Home

The boys have both been home for about 2 weeks now. They are both breathing, eating and sleeping well. Until they reach "full-term weight" we have to wake them up every three hours to eat. This means that after feeding two kids there is only about 1 1/2 hours left (if we are lucky) to get some sleep, eat etc before their next feeding. Their next appointment with the doctor is on Wednesday so our fingers are crossed that we can stop this crazy schedule.

My Mom was here the first week the kids were home. She was a huge help! Our freezer is full of ready made meals, our house got cleaned and Spencer and I even when out to dinner for my birthday. She did such a good job that I thought being a Mom would be a breeze...

This week has been very challenging. Spencer went back to work so I am doing 5 of the 8 feedings. With only 4 hours of continuous sleep I have not been myself. Spencer parents are also gone on vacation this week so into the fire we went. My visiting teacher came over on Thursday and did dishes and laundry. I am so grateful for a visiting teacher that gets the spirit of visiting teaching. Yesterday mid-morning I broke out in hives! As if we needed something else to deal with. The doctors says that hives are not caused by stress, apparently I am allergic to something. That something is still yet to be determined. Today Spencer and I are both rested and interested to see how week 3 turns out...
