Catching up with this week

Just some random photos and thoughts from the last week...

Josie looking super cute in her I Love Kisses bib, which she is wearing thanks to a little bit of spit up she's been doing the past two weeks. Seems to be going away now thankfully.

omg I LOVE that face!!!! Almost a sly smile!

Cupcakes I made for my birthday on Sunday.

Sunday was my birthday and I wanted to take the opportunity to meet up with some friends and show off the girls. We went to a restaurant around the corner where we had a private room and were there for about 4 hours. The girls were fed once and did a great job just hanging out with all of the noise and people! It was really easy and a good exercise for me! I had a great time. That night, Barbara my mother in law and James let me sleep for a few feedings AND the girls also slept a really long stretch :)

4 a.m.

Lexie and I started the morning of my birthday by watching the Men's Hockey gold medal game! Yay Canada!

Took this shot of Lexie folding her hands on my shoulders - she is so cuddly!

Lexie in the Rock N Play

Because Josie has been spitting up a little (which I clearly over reacted about since it is actually clearing up significantly) we asked a friend if we could borrow her Rock n Play. It allows the baby to sleep in a slight upright position. Well both girls really love it, and rather than having the girls hang out in their car seats (which we had added padding to) the girls are nice and high up off the floor and their heads are secured. So after 24 hours of them sharing this, I just went for it and ordered a second one. I know they will only get about 4 more months use out of it but at $40...that's $10 a month well spent!

Having to take turns - but not for long!

Josie's turn to be happy in the Rock n Play!

Josie being ADORABLE at lactation class

Wednesday we went to lactation class. The best thing about class is seeing how much the girls have gained this past week and how much they are eating. Here are the numbers:

Lexie: Last week: 8lbs 2 ozs This week before: 8lbs 11 ozs And after: 8lbs 15 ozs

Josie: Last week: 7lbs 8 ozs This week before: 7lbs 13 ozs And after: 8lbs 1 ozs

Krista, Jack and the girls and I at lactation class. We really enjoy this 2 hour class each week where we get out of the house and relax, talk about the babies and catch up with other new moms.

My driver's view of the back seat mirrors looking in on the girls - heading home from class.
