Daddy and his 2 Paci kids! :)

Its been 2 weeks.

Tim is back in Texas. My mom is back at work. And I am with the kidS at home.

Kids. Its weird to say.  :) We have KIDS... not just one... but TWO! But at the same time, its great. :)

Right now, Anastasia is napping, Titus is napping, and even Donner is napping! Yes, I know... I SHOULD be napping too... but I chose a shower and blogging. I really want to get better at this whole blogging thing.  :)

Titus had his 2 week Dr. appointment yesterday. He is now 7lb 14.5oz. He gained a whole whopping ounce and a half! LOL He was born bigger than Ana, but SHE was a little piglet and had gained a pound in the first 2 weeks! BUT... he, like she did, has reflux. His, though, is worse. He is in so much pain after every feeding! :(  With Ana, I was able to nurse differently, adjust my diet, and hold her upright at a 45-degree angle for hours on end... with all of that, she didn't need any medicine. I just don't have that time with Titus. If I were to do the same things with him, Anastasia would probably feel neglected. :-/ So... we opted for medication. He has only had 2 does thus far, but we're hoping they work!! :) It won't eliminate the spitting up, but it should help reduce the force that its coming up with and it'll also neutralize the acids so that he is in a lot less pain! Dr. Chen said he has a lot of testosterone! He is already able to bear some weight on his legs (she said a 2 MONTH skill) and she witnessed as he rolled from his tummy to his side!! So other than the reflux, he is doing amazing!

Anastasia LOVES having a brother.... well, I think she is more in love with the fact that she is a big sister! :) He is going to start feeling smothered when he realizes that she kisses him every 5 minutes! :) She is struggling with the fact that she can't carry him around. :( Oh well. :) She does hold him lots!

The only "regression" she is exhibiting is the use of HIS pacis. She even uses pacis she refused as an infant! I'll take it as a good sign. I'd rather have that regression that the host of other things she could be doing!

I'm doing better. Still in a lot of pain. I keep forgetting to take my pain killers in the morning, and by the evening it hurts to walk... so I need to get better at remembering! :)  The mornings are pretty "easy"... once I'm up and drinking coffee and have shaken the "fog" off.  Both kids have the same morning nap time, so that's REALLY nice! By 3 o'clock, I'm exhausted and the pain begins setting in. But it'll get better. :) Overall, its going as smoothly as I could have hoped for with 2 kids under a year-and-a-half!
