Hi sweet babies,
You are now just over 6 weeks old (I can't believe you've been here that long!) and you have completely changed my world. You are both holding your head up for extended times when we hold you, and you can lift it and turn it from side to side easily. Of course it is still a bit wobbly, but its very cute if you ask me. I got the jungle play mat out yesterday and you both like it...but Marlee is more of a fan than Parks right now. I love it when you are happy and content while awake...you are the sweetest babies ever. After the 6-week date on Saturday, the doctor said mommy could start exercising again, so we have started a little tradition. Every morning we wake up, have breakfast, and then get in the jogger and go for a walk/jog. You both seem to really enjoy it. You look around and stay awake for the first little bit, and then take a nap for the rest of the run. It is very funny because every time we hit a bump in the cart path, you both throw your arms up in the air instantly, but stay sound asleep. Daddy calls it he "Jackie Chan" with how fast you move your hands in front of your face. Today we jogged to Grandma Murray's tennis practice, so you got to meet some of her friends. They all enjoyed meeting you. :)
Tomorrow we go to visit the pediatrician again to do a weight check for Marlee (and we will weigh Parks too just to see how he is doing). I am praying for big gains and growth.
Marlee, you had a rough few days with eating. You were only finishing about 60% of your bottle and then you would just scream and cry and refuse any more. We went to the doc on Saturday and they said it was likely gas, so we have been giving you Mylicon drops and it seems to help. On Monday night we took you to our small group meeting, and you actually ate one and a half times your normal volume, and ever since then you have been doing much better. I hope you have turned a corner and will keep this up.
Parks, you have a hernia. Boo. It's no big deal according to the doctor, but I still wish you didn't have it. Your belly button pokes out so far. Supposedly it will work itself out in the first year or two of your life or the doctor will do a small procedure to fix it.
Keep growing little angels. I love you so much.
All my love,
Mommy
