Well our baby boys are one month old today. What a fast month it has been! After their doctor appointment today, Oliver weighted in at 8 lbs 15 oz and Emerson 8 lbs 14oz. That is a gain of over 2 lbs in a month. They also grew from 19 1/2 inches to 22 inches. Needless to say my small 6 lb babies are no more. They are beginning to chub out and look more like babies. an exciting event occurred sometime last night, Oliver umbilical cord FINALLY fell off. Emerson''s has been off for two weeks.
As for sleep on mommy and daddy's part, it comes in spurts. Our boys sleep well from about 8-8:30pm until about 3am (They wake up two times in between for feedings but go down easy). After 3 am, the fun starts. The boys get off their slightly staggered schedule and trade off eating until about 6-7am. So mom is up and down from about 3am on.
The boys and I ventured to Eli's school today. Eli proudly showed off his brothers, then wanted me to play with him, leaving his brothers in the caring hands of his teachers. Miss Elizabeth, asked Eli if she could take Oliver home with her and Eli quickly and firmly told her no! He is a very protective big brother.
Overall it has been a great month, a learning and sleep deprived month, but it has been fun. I love being a mother of three boys.

Way to go Eli!! Amazing how time flies when you are having fun...aka not sleeping. I spent a few years not sleeping, I think they were fun, I hope.
What a precious family! I'm glad I found out about your blog - I look forward to keeping up with you! I miss you! (Your boys are all adorable!)
