31 Weeks Out!

The twins have been “out” for 31 weeks! For fun, I took a look back at my blog post from when I was 31 weeks pregnant. If you haven’t read it, you can read it here!

Apparently, I was really swollen when I wrote that blog post. Oh…if I only knew what was coming my way! Of course I didn't know it yet, but our boys would be here just 22 days after I posted that blog!

Reading that post brings back all of those memories of being uncomfortable. I remember having so much rib pain! And how hard it was to get out of bed in the middle of the night when I had to wake up 20,000 times to go to the bathroom.

Now, Wyatt & Boden are seven months old & are rolling all over the place. They are such happy boys & each have two teeth. They love to wiggle around when I’m changing them, making it nearly impossible to get them dressed.

Recently, they’ve started to really notice each other & it’s the sweetest thing when they laugh at one another. They are also obsessed with Miesha! Reaching for her & playing with her dog tags keep them entertained.

Boden gives the best hugs, is starting to say “dada” & you can make him laugh just by looking at him. Wyatt has the sweetest little voice, loves to jump in his jumper & has the cutest crooked smile.

They are such a joy, Sean & I are so blessed that these boys are ours! After we put them to bed each night, we can’t stop talking about how cute they are. They definitely have added more to our lives than we ever knew was possible. We love you, Wyatt & Boden!

Two Months Postpartum + Newborn Favorites

The boys turned two months old on the 23rd & are growing like weeds!  We’ve started to put them down for naps in their cribs…they look so tiny in them! We have switched to on-demand feeding which has been nice, especially during the night. The photos below sum up twin life perfectly…

Wyatt:  Wyatt is 9lbs 4oz.  He tends to be fussier than his brother, but he loves music!  Usually, when his dad plays the guitar or piano for him he calms right down.  He is so expressive & still makes the funniest facial expressions!  He loves to be on his tummy & would sleep that way if mom & dad would let him.  He also loves bath time!

Boden: Boden is 9lbs 11oz. He is such a chill baby! He really only fusses when he’s getting his diaper changed or when he’s doing tummy time. He loves to coo & has been making the most adorable sounds, but boy does he have a set of lungs on him! His hair looked blonde at first, but now is looking more red.

Me: My recovery has gone very well. At my five week appointment, my incision was completely healed & my doctor lifted all restrictions. My lower belly is still sore & sensitive, but getting better. I’m about 8 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight, but am still pretty round in my midsection!

Favorite newborn products:  Here are some more products (in addition to the ones I previously wrote about) that we have loved over the past two months!

  1. Comotomo bottles now that the boys are older & eating much better, we have been loving these bottles!  They aren’t as messy & are way easier to clean (they have a wide neck & not as many parts!)

  2. Owlet I received two owlets at my baby shower but we didn't start using them regularly until a week ago.  These things are amazing & give me so much peace of mind.  I would constantly be waking up to make sure they were breathing or would have trouble falling asleep because I would be worried about them.  I love that I can check the app & see how well they are breathing. There currently isn’t a way to set up the app for two babies, so that’s why it took me while to start using them.

  3. Hatch Baby Rest this is something we actually used at the beginning when we brought the boys home. I love that I can control it from my phone & it was nice having white noise while trying to go to sleep. I’m excited to use it as an “okay to wake” light when the boys get older.
