1 Month Old

The day they turned a month old



I Can not believe it has already been this long. I better not blink or I'll be blogging about their 1st birthday.

My girls are so special and every day I am so amazed by the fact that they are here, in my home, so healthy, and happy, and lets not forget SO beautiful. :)

They are good sleepers and when they are awake they are so content. There is no doubt in my mind that the "Molly" now was the same baby we called Molly in my belly. She is a very alert and active little thing. And she was always the active one in my belly. She loved to do them flips EVERY day.
Now when she is awake she just looks all around with her big pretty eyes as if she is taking in the world thats around her. I love it when she fiddles with her hands and puts them against her face.

Emma also looks all around as if her little self is trying to take in all the big things that surround her. She makes the funniest faces! She is so sweet and tiny. And very laid back, just like when I was pregnant with her. I just love them both so much.

They eat every 3 hours around the clock. Even if they are asleep I wake to feed them. They don't weigh enough just yet to let them just sleep. And we surely dont want them losing weight so I am doing my best to fatten them up.

We turned the a/c off for now. The girls get cold fairly easily and keeping them swaddled was not working because they do NOT enjoy having their arms wrapped up in a blanket. No matter how I wrap them they always seem to work their way out from under the blanket. LOL and So we just turned the a/c off and the girls dont have to stay swaddled 24/7 and they do great maintaining their temp. Mommy on the other hand....still has hott flashes so I will appreciate the a/c again when we turn it back on.

My sweet girls do have acid reflux but Emma's seems to be worse than Molly's. She gets so uncomfortable after she eats, especially late at night after eating. And for both girls, milk will just drain out their nose and they have a hard time catching their breath when this happens. It scares me every time. And they hate the spit up feeling. They cry everytime they spit up. I feel so bad for them. :(

The Dr prescribed us medicine for them so pray it works. I dont expect it to help them keep milk down any better but I do hope it helps with the burning they feel after eating. I hate seeing them in pain. But they handle it very well.

I cant believe its already been an entire month since my water broke, since I birthed them into the world.

I still think about the day they were born quite often. I am so glad they are here but there are moments that I miss having them in my belly. I catch myself tearing up and sometimes even crying when I look at pictures of me while pregnant. I never thought I would miss being pregnant because pregnancy was so HARD for me, but it is true...when your babies come out you miss them being in.

Nevertheless, I am so thankful they were born when they were because my belly was not safe for them. God truly saved my babies and I am so humbled by the fact that He did.

Time goes by so fast. I just want to be able to hit the pause button and enjoy them being this tiny for a while longer.
