3 Months
Wow where did the last 12 weeks go. It makes me so sad to sit here and think that these 2 little miracles have been in our lifes for 3 months. It seems like it was just yesterday that we met you both but when I look back at pictures I see how much you have both grown and changed. It brings tears to my eyes to think that time is passing by so quickly.
Jason and I are so thankful to have such supportive families. We could not do it without all of the help, especially the help that our moms have provided us. We are both so fortunate and loved. I am now back at work full time and working shift work. It has been a big adjustment for us all. My mom has been helping a lot on weekends and Jason's mom stays with him when I work night shifts. Kelsey is still coming to the house and keeping the babies for us. It is such a comforting feeling to know that our sweet angels are at home and safe.
So where are we now are 3 months??
-Both babies are wearing size 0-3 month and size 1 diapers. We really like Pamper diapers.
-Both babies are so Emfamil Prosobee Formula (Soy) and eat about 4 oz every 3 hours. Sometimes they may eat 3oz and other times 5oz. They eat roughly every 3 hours.
-We still aren't sleeping through the night! At one point they were eating at 3am then 6am. Now somehow we are back to 2 feeding a night. We have been waking them between 9-10pm to get one last feeing in before night time to see if that helps but hasn't prove to help much. We can't wait to start cereal. From what everyone has told us, the cereal will help them sleep through the night. If it doesn't we are going to need some sort of intervention. Mommy and Daddy need sleep. (The doctor told us that they suggest starting cereal at 4 months and feeding it with a spoon. She said that we can try at 3 1/2 months and see if that works. We have 2 more weeks!! Yah!)

11 Weeks
At 11 weeks the babies received a new toy. It is an activity mat with a piano at the end by their feet. They just love it. I couldn't believe that they actually realized that their actions were causing a reaction at such a young age.

Mommy's Last Day
We decided to spend a day at the beach relaxing before I returned back to work on Monday. Haley, Matt, Jason and I had a wonderful time. I was so sad to leave the babies. It was the first time I have been gone for longer than a few hours. I think I was mostly sad because I knew in 2 days I would return to work. I have a feeling of guilt but I also know that it is a must to provide our babies with the life we want. Thankfully we have someone coming to the house to keep them which makes it much easier for me.

2 Month Check-up
Today was the babies 2 month check-up with the pediatrician. I was really nervous about the appointment because the babies received their first set of vaccines. They each got 3 shots which was horrible. Fortunately Jason was able to take off and be with us. It was dramatic for all of us.
The good thing is that the babies are growing perfectly! Foster weighted 11 lbs 14 oz and Anna Kate weighted 10 lbs 2 oz. Both babies were in the 50% for weight. Foster was in the 75% for height and Anna Kate was in the 50% for height. I am so happy that our babies are so healthy.
Before the appointment I gave the babies Tylenol as recommended by several of my friends. The doctor told me to expect a slight fever and fussy babies. Neither had a fever but both were fussy. I gave each of them more Tylenol before bed. Below is the dosage for the medicine:
