10 weeks 1 day old

Hello all,

Priceless.......

Tummy time



Just a reminder of where they were.. Jaxon after birth 

And Chace.........

and where they are now....Jaxon 10 weeks 1 day

And Chace  10 weeks 1 day


Okay so I am doing my weekly update. Not too much has changed. The boys are really starting to interact with us more, smiling when we talk to them they look like they are ready to start laughing soon, It is so precious. They are still doing more grunting than anything but I think its only a matter of time before that turns into cooing :) They are getting so big so fast. I gave them a bath this morning Jaxon weighed 11lbs 1.4 oz and Chace weighed 9lbs 1.7 oz. They are gaining weight so well. I am in the process of initiating formula as I am trying to wean off of breastfeeding so we will see how that goes today. Jaxon seems really fussy after he eats not sure if he just needs more or if he ate too much or if he just has a tummyache. All I know is these boys have an abnormal amount of gas!!! Must take after their father...hahaha just kidding. They have their first set of shots tomorrow at the doctors office so it will probably be a very long weekend. Hopefully they dont get too fussy with them. I put in my 2 week notice at work yesterday so I will officially be a stay at home mom at least for now. Will be a little stressful but so worth it to be able to see my boys grow and be with them. Justin is the best husband and father anyone could ask for and our boys are so lucky to have him. So their ultrasounds of their brains and hips went well yesterday no braiin bleeds and hips look good, they do those as a precaution because they were preemies. Okay hopefully next week we have more good updates :)

Here are 2 semi new pictures... will post more later tonight :)


Jaxon 8 weeks old, finally with his eyes open.

Chace 8 weeks old

9 weeks 2 days old..... First photo shoot today

Hello all.... Its been  a busy couple weeks but I am finally getting an update here. The boys are doing amazing. Chace finally got his oxygen off and now we just have the monitor for 2 more weeks. he is doing great. Last doctor appt which was 1 week ago Jaxon was 9lb 8oz and Chace was 8lbs 1oz kso they have tripled their weights since birth :) They are starting to be more awake for longer periods now, even though Jaxon still sleeps most of the time and he is already eating 5-6 oz every 3-4 hours! Chace is at about 4 oz every 3 hours. They are stretching their nighttime feedings out just a bit so I am hoping they continue that !!!
They are starting to really focus on us now and even starting to smile appropriately, they are learning quickly how to get mom and dads attention. If I pick up one boy because he is fussing then the other one all of a sudden will start crying to be picked up... They are learning that stuff way too early :) But I love them so much and if I just had 2 more arms i would hold them both all day long.. We are starting to get somewhat of a routine down although I still feel like I get nothing accomplished at home. My cousins bought us a double jogging stroller which is amazing and cannot wait to get out and start using it now that I have more energy during the day. They are due for their first shots next week :( they are getting 3 at once so Im sure they wont be feeling too good next week. Pretty soon I can start taking them out and about like normal which I cannot wait for. They really are the best babies they really only cry when they are hungry or want to be snuggled. Chace also will not have anything to do with a dirty diaper. If he has a poopy diaper while he is eating he will literally shut down and will not eat until his diaper is changed...lol... They are getting their first professional pictures done today, finally our first REAL family pictures. Well thats about it for now. I promise to start updating more frequently :)
