day 40: sick.

so lame. After an awesome visit to daddy's where we met the coolest chicks ever and we got to chill at memaw and pawpaw's house for the first time... we returned home to Nana's house all raspy and yucky. Momma was concerned... bugging Nana all night about it. After great debate of is this doctor worthy or just over reacting... Momma and Nana played it safe and got us into the doctors office for an appointment. Yep that was a fast 40$ spent. Anyways we were unable to see our doctor, dr. reidy (she is dope and experienced with handling us... she has g/b twins as well, which makes her a keeper in our book.) Instead we saw Dr. Caldwell and she was great. Mom was relieved she was a good doctor. After a long assessment it was determined that we have our first cold. They were worried about Ramsey's breathing... it was labored and us being premies and so young is was quite concerning. Dr. Caldwell ran additional test to determine if it was a viral respiratory disease that us infants can contract, we are talking bad news to get this and his blood count said we were ok. Mom just has to put saline up our noses and plunge the junk out... FYI, Ramsey and I are not really digging this treatment... and nana put a humidifier in our room to help us breath and we get to sleep in our bouncies for the next few days... ewww the vibration... we have to keep elevated.

Besides that lame news we did our weigh ins. We are supposed to gain a half of a pound to a pound a month right. Well in the last two weeks Ramsey went from 5lbs 14 oz to 7 lbs .5 oz... way to grow little bro... I was still the master gainer... 6lbs 14.5 oz to 8lbs 11.5 oz. That was crazy... that is like 2 lbs almost. watch out little bro... I am totally proving I am your big sis... those 2 minutes count! :D

nap time again.

After hours and hours of waiting she was finally here. She surprised us by bearing gifts for Arden and I. THANK YOU OLI. We hung out. Smiled. Had a bite to eat. Starred into each others eyes... love was found but time was cut short... off to Memaw and Pawpaw's house we went. :(

day 30: fingers and toes



day 30: zzzz

We need sleep... the little ones are not agreeing. I had to sit and sooth Ramsey for over an hour while he unclogged his belly, if you know what I am saying... and then when his stomach was cleared, diaper changed, then it was back to eating... finally I get him down and sleeping and bam, Arden plays it like clock work... how does she know he is finally asleep in the other room and she has an hour left until the next time she eats is beyond me but the grunts convert to screams and momma is up again feeding her... she scarfs down the bottle and then it is time to pump... she is still grunting and Ramsey is starting to stir in the monitor... oh the joys of sleep deprivation... nana is dying too... the nap she covered for me just was make up... god zzzzz... I need to wash my clothes and clean the mess in the back yard and poor bastian's mansion needs a massive cleaning... uhhhh where the $@% is jeramie?
