I returned to work on Friday, January 6th to the news that my company had purchased not one, but TWO companies. One I knew about before I left, but the other was a complete surprise. Needless to say I had to jump right back into work and it's been like trying to take a sip of water from a fire hose ever since.
The Twinks are growing so fast! Tomorrow they will be ten weeks. F has now outgrown his newborn clothes and G isn't too far behind.
My friend's Mom came by to take some pictures of them at seven weeks:
F still makes "O's" and kissy faces and they are both smiling a bit more each day. G is starting to intentionally bat at the toys on her bouncy seat and F is discovering his tongue and having fun "tasting the universe."
They have their two-month check-up later today - so I don't know their height or weight, but if I had to guess, I'd say F weighs 10-11 lbs and G is getting close to the 10 lb mark.
Lately, they have been sleeping for longer stretches at a time - G went from 10:30 pm until 5:00 am last night! Yahoo! I don't think it will be long before they are both consistently sleeping for eight hours or more. F is my "morning guy" - when he wakes up, he is UP and ready to take on his day. "Where's breakfast Mom?" is clearly his first thought each day. G wakes up more slowly - doing her ballerina moves in slow-motion as she slowly eases out of her slumber.
Currently, F's two favorite things in the whole world are to sit in a warm bath and to have his tush blow-dried. Yes, blow-dried. Our pediatrician recommended that after we change him, we blow-dry his bottom to prevent diaper rash. So far, it's worked like a charm - no red, sore butts anywhere in sight!
It's still so incredible being a Mom and I am loving every minute of it!

Awww cute pics! The twinks are getting so big already!
What a lovely post...the twinks look so cute!
Wow. You really are being super mom! You are doing an amazing job. I'm sure it was hard leaving them to go back to work! I have pre-e so we are looking at an earlier delivery date :(
I love the blow dryer hint. Do you blow dry butts after EVERY diaper change? Do you just leave it next to your changing table?
Great Pics of your babies! They have grown so much! Sounds like you are finding your groove with work and home. Thanks for updating us!
Thanks for the comments. Michelle - yup, he gets blow dried with each diaper change, so
I leave the blow dryer beside the changing table. What I forgot to say is that I keep it on the cool setting.
My husband makes fun of me for blowing on our son's bum after I wipe him to dry him for the same reason. Baby thinks it's the funniest thing ever, so I keep doing it ;)
Love the pictures! I love how the hair suddenly appeared.
