thank you for your get well wishes over the past couple of days. i seem to be emerging from the fog, just very weak and tired!
harper has missed three days of school now, and sadie bug came in our room last night and threw up on the floor. she was so scared, bless her heart.
the baby chicks seem okay, just a bit warm. i've given them some tylenol and i'm keeping them up in my room, just as i did yesterday...hoping to keep them away from most of the germs.
speaking of the babies...
they are now (as of yesterday!!) officially three months old.
i can't even believe it as i type it! a quarter of a year. sigh. no more newborn scrunchy legs and sleepy eyes. the fists are slowly coming unclenched.
although we are still finding lint in those little palms every day. ew. what is it with new babies and stinky, linty palms? hahah!
at three months,
lucy :
probably weighs in the 10-11 pound range...i haven't had them weighed in a while.
nicknames:
oocee (as sadie used to say when i was pregnant with the babies)
lucy caboosie (this is a total sadie-ism. if l has my genes in that vicinity, this is NOT a name that needs to stick. ahaha!)
lucy claire- sometimes we call her this, sometimes just lucy
still has a full head of hair, although she's getting a bit of a bald spot in the back.
happy go lucky
good eater
good sleeper, will fall asleep without any help
quieter than her sister
developing sweet little rolls in her thighs.
wants nothing to do with a binkie
smiles all the time
loves bath time
cate:
probably weighs around ten pounds or close to it
nicknames:
catie
cate the great (a nickname her sissies call her)
still only has peach fuzz, and a big ole bald spot on the back of her head.
the talker of the two. always cooing, engaging mama, smiling
finicky eater. stops and starts on the bottle, takes AGES to drink a few ounces. still prefers to nurse over the bottle.
loves her binkie
lets us know when she is not happy with us (she's usually annoyed with daddy :)
loves bath
getting SUPER chubby cheeks and belly,
totally catching up with her sister in the weight department.
and i've fallen in love with them.
it's getting easier every day and i just could eat them up.
their chubby bellies
tiny toes
the way their little hands grip my finger, their smiles that i think are just for me, even though they really aren't. :)
that picture of cate where she is just GRINNING? i took that yesterday, she was so happy to see me. she hadn't seen me the entire day when i was so sick, and her face just lit up when i got her up the next day.
they are so beautiful. and i couldn't love them more!
happy friday.
xoxo

Stephanie - They are absolutely beautiful. They make me smile every time I look at them. As said by others, I can't believe it has been 3 months. Seems like yesterday when I saw their first pics on here. God Bless you all!

They are soooooooooo gorgeous :)
Posted by: Michelle | 02/25/2011 at 10:47 AM
Remember when you were a kid and its seemed like 3 months was an eternity? Why does it seem like a blink of eye once you have your own kids! They are way toooo cute! :-)
Posted by: Corey Brock | 02/25/2011 at 11:16 AM
glad you are feeling a little better, hope the chickies feel better soon!! we had that stupid flu bug a couple of weeks ago, sooo not fun

Glad mama is feeling a bit better! I can't believe the twins are 3 months old already!!! Time just flies by too fast. My "baby" starts high school in the fall :O
But since he is 6'3" and has been for almost 2 years, I guess he's not much of a baby anymore!
Posted by: Berta | 02/25/2011 at 11:44 AM
Glad you're feeling better! Sweet. sweet babies. They grow up so fast. Our twin granddaughters will be 3!!! in June. So hard to believe. Where the heck did our babies go????
I know about the sickness. It has been running through our house the last almost 2 weeks. Girls had it last week and weekend, Sadie not so much, Elena the most. I was sick on Sunday and just now almost back to 100%. Elena is still a little yucky. Their mom has been sick for going on 4 days!
Hang in there :) Have a wonderful weekend if you can!

Posted by: Katie Pegher | 02/25/2011 at 03:14 PM
How cute! I had to laugh because one of my daughters weighed 10 pds. when she was born! She is a very skinny 45 pd. 7 yr. old now.
Posted by: Stacey | 02/25/2011 at 04:39 PM
Adorable! And you're going to have to be more specific than "that one where cate is GRINNING" because that girl has a smile she is NOT afraid to use! LOVE IT!!
Posted by: Carrielyn | 02/25/2011 at 04:52 PM
Oh these are so cute...love the second one of Lucy...I remember that little baby pout and the chin quiver from my boys....
glad you are (hopefully) all on the mend!
Posted by: Kris | 02/25/2011 at 07:07 PM

I can't believe they are already 3 months old. Pretty soon they'll be sitting up, and then they'll be mobile! I hope to get to meet all the ladies some day......
Posted by: Davinie | 02/26/2011 at 12:01 AM

Posted by: stephanie | 02/26/2011 at 08:33 AM
They are just too adorable! As i was reading, they remind me so much of my twins when they were that age.
Posted by: Jackie | 02/26/2011 at 12:11 PM
I was just talking about this yesterday with my DH, the twinnies being 3 mo. old!! This is the first I have seen of this post too!! They are so darn cute, Steph!! I love Cate's big smile!! I love Lucy's pouty face!! Too darn cute. Why is it the pouts look so darn cute??! Even still on my youngest and he is 4. Won't always be that way!! So so glad you are feeling better!!!!

Posted by: lindsey | 02/27/2011 at 11:33 PM
do you use an app to get those black frames around your picures? love it. Your girls are adorable
Posted by: manda | 02/28/2011 at 12:03 AM
I have made a decision: I need to eat your babies up! They are just too, too gorgeous! Please mail them to me ASAP so that I can accomplish this!
And 'the bigs' are pretty beautiful too.
Hope you're much better now.
