Peace

While the boys were in the NICU I was introduced to the "pink people". One afternoon, after a quick lunch break, I walked into the babies room to find an older gentleman, wearing a pink shirt, holding Michael. At first, I was scared, but he quickly changed my mind. He said, "Hi, my name is Harold and I'm a pink person. We volunteer here to comfort any baby that is crying. Truth be told, they comfort me, though". Harold was probably in his early 70's and had the nicest smile. He told me that at first this was on his bucket list and had only planned on volunteering 500 hours. After completing those hours he felt so lonely and he had to come back because the babies brought him so much peace. As I sit here rocking Trey I can't help but think of Harold. There is something so therapeutic about holding a baby. It's as if all of your stress and woes magically melt away. You know, the world would be a better place if everyone snuggled up with a baby each day.

Two Months

The boys were two months old on August 28th, and once again, I'm a little late posting.  Life is starting to get back to normal as the boys are settling into a nice routine so I will be dedicating more time to blogging.

Mr. Trey

Height: 21 inches (1%)

Weight: 8 lbs 2.8 oz (1%) Officially out of newborn clothes!

Feeding: 4 oz in the beginning of the month and now up to 6 oz

Sleep Schedule:  Doesn't like to nap during the day mostly 30 minutes at a time but is sleeping 4-5 hours at night

Milestones: Lots of eye contact and smiles this month.  He loves holding onto anything, very tightly too! Trey loves his snuggle time in the afternoon and evening, especially on Daddy's chest.

Mr. Michael

Height: 21.5 inches

Weight: 8 lbs 9 oz Even though they are both close in weight, Michael feels as if he weighs about 10 lbs more than Trey.  He's our little porkchop:)

Feeding: Same as Bubba, started out the month at 4 oz and now 6 oz

Sleep Schedule: Michael needs extra snuggle time in the morning and normally takes his naps on me for about 1-2 hours.  This is my most favorite time of the day.  Its so hard to hold the both of them and luckily they like to cuddle at different times of the day.  At night, Michael is the first to fall asleep and usually stays down for 5 hours.

Milestones: Michael is so strong and is holding his head up very well.
