Catch Up

Between changing my URL, the crappy background and my lack of posting I have no idea if anyone even reads my blog anymore...but here I am to catch up.

Things are great! The boys will be 8 months old on the 13th...I can't even believe how fast it's gone by!!! I couldn't even imagine making it to this point without losing my mind. Well, I did lose my mind the first 2-3 months but since then it's only gotten better!

The boys still sleep 12 hours a night, uninterrupted (mommy loves you!), they nap 2-3times a day at the same time (did I mention mommy loves you) and they are eating 3 meals a day in addition to bottles. They are such good eaters, they like everything! Chase is holding his bottle on his own which makes things MUCH easier, now Parker needs to get with that program and we will be golden!

I love them so much I can't even stand it. Each day they do something new, they make me laugh and they amaze me. Chase is getting his first tooth and I think it's the most amazing thing (it's actually normal for babies to get teeth, I hear...heehee). Parker takes in everything around him, is very serious at times and then cracks up at the littlest things.

All in all things are wonderful with the boys. One little issue though is Parker's crooked head :-( He has always slept on his back with his head turned to the same side and now he has a flat spot on the side. We have an appointment with a specialist next week and I am guessing he is going to have to wear a helmet...which makes me sad and worried. I hope it doesn't make him uncomfortable and he better not get made fun of by the other 8 month olds!!

I am still doing The BodyBugg program and have lost 7 pounds in a little less than 3 weeks!! I don't even know who I am anymore. It's like The Bugg was made for me!! If I haven't reached my calories burned goal by the end of the day I do something active to burn them. I go to the gym every other day, walk a few times a day and take care of twins...so I am burning cals like crazy! I have stayed within my allotted calories consumed give or take 100 calories, which is a minor miracle for the WORST eater on the planet! Damn it...I am going to look hot this summer!!! ( I miss brownies)

  1. I'm still reading. Poor Parker's little head. If he has to wear a helmet and if another 8 month old makes fun of him, maybe Chase will kick the kid's butt.

  2. Oh sister~ will you turn off the comment moderation? I've been meaning to blog about it and ask people to turn it off. :)

    You really should get a pre-made template from Danielle. There only about $35 and on sale all the time. I think you would like the one called "little birdy." It's blue and brown. Here's the link...

  4. You still have readers!!! :)

    CONGRATS on the weight loss - keep going!! You must have more energy and motivation ... and as soon as those boys are on the move, you'll be ready to zoom and 3 different directions all day long! :)

    I have a friend who had twins as well, and one had to wear the helmet for about 6 months. Actually, I know of three sets of twins and one of each of the sets wore the helmet. I hope seeing the specialist next week will go smoothly. At least he will never remember it.

    Oh, HEY ... since I have been commenting here, your side roll and picture and all your blog stuff has popped up. How cool is that?! It still works!!

    :) A

  5. Glad your blog is back! I love those pictures of your boys...they are so sweet!! Maybe he won't have to wear the helmet long, if he has to get one. It's pretty common among twins, and it's much better to do it early than to fix the problem later!

  6. Awww, they are so adorable! They are growing up so fast. If Parker has to wear a helmet just tell the other parents/babies he's in training for when he plays football for Bama. I'd paint the helmet red and put a ROLL TIDE sticker on it, LOL. Hey, good for you for losing 7 lbs.. I've been working my butt off and only lost 3 lbs. so far.
