A Long Overdue Update....
I have all of my lil munchkins content watching yo gabba gabba right now so I figure I will try to write a long overdue update!
The past five months have been amazing, crazy busy, a bit overwhelming and very tiring but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. We’ve had some tough times and some amazing times! The girls are doing awesome and getting so big and Aiden is an awesome big brother. I have so much to say I seriously don’t know where to start.
Aiden is doing awesome and getting so big. He’s like a little man. He has full fledged conversations with you and they actually make sense. He loves to talk and laugh and is really into giving us all hugs and kisses right now. Of course he has his moments when he feels that he isn’t getting enough attention and will throw temper tantrums that probably make the devil look like an angel. Haha, but we love him just the same. We try to do the best we can with splitting up our time with the kids so everyone gets attention but sometimes it is hard. We are learning. It had to be hard for Aiden to go from being all by himself and getting ALL of our attention to having to share me and John with 2 little baby sisters. He is doing an awesome job though and totally surprised us. I was really worried about him having to adjust to the girls and I honestly think that he adjusted quicker and better than we did! He had his first accident a couple of months ago and ended up having to have 2 stitches in his left ear. I couldn’t even tell you how he did it. He was running around the house playing with his ball and I think he may have run into the back of the sofa and hit his ear. He loves to read his books, talk, watch his movies and play with his toys. He counts from 1-10 and knows his alphabet by looking at it. He can tell you what every letter is and loves to spell things out. I’m hoping that this summer we can get him into some sort of swimming lessons. I would love for him to learn how to swim. He wants to go to Disney World so bad but I think it may have to wait for a year or two. He is just such an amazing lil boy and he owns my heart. I have so much I could say about him, I think I could talk forever.
Raelene is doing awesome too. I guess she was about a month and a half old when she was diagnosed with Torticollis. It is basically that her neck muscles didn’t develop right, probably due to the lack of room in my belly when I was pregnant so her head tilts to one side. We caught it early on so we ended up at CHOP and they put her into physical therapy right away and we’re keeping a close watch on it. She now goes to physical therapy once a week and is doing awesome. We also have exercises that we do with her at home. You can totally tell the difference it is making. She is like my lil angel and such a sweet soul. Yet when she is mad she lets you know it for sure! She loves to laugh and will light up the room with her smile. She smiles with her whole face and it’s just amazing! She is doing awesome at tummy time and rolling over from her front to her back. She tries so hard to roll from back to front but she gets caught up on her shoulder and just hasn’t figured out how to get it out of the way. Rae still gets up for a feeding in the middle of the nights most of the time although every once in a while she gives mommy & daddy a break and will sleep right through. She also already has her first 2 bottom teeth. I guess they cut through about 2 or 3 weeks ago. She loves to laugh and smile and talks up a storm! It is so awesome and I could seriously sit there and listen to her for hours. She ended up in the emergency room the week before Easter. Everyone in the house was sick with a terrible cold except for John. I came home from running errands one day and Rae was burning up and having terrible coughing fits. So I took her to the ER and it turned out she had a really high fever and tested positive for RSV-or respiratory syncytial virus. She was so sick I felt so bad for her and she was teething on top of it all. We spent a few long hours in the hospital and they sent us home and just told us to keep careful watch of her breathing. Of course I was a nut and sneaking into her bedroom constantly throughout the night to make sure she was ok. After about a week she was getting better and now is all better. I hate when the little ones get sick and there is nothing you can do for them. We took the girls to the pediatrician last week for their check-up and Rae is doing great. She is gaining weight like she should be and packing on the pounds. She’s my little quarter back! So yeah, Rae is amazing and my lil angel. She is so awesome and definitely a new soul. She is so sweet and innocent.
Violet is also doing awesome. She’s been going back and forth having problems with her belly. She spits up a lot and always has. She was tested for reflux and has it so they put her medicine for that. It seemed like her spitting up had stopped for a little while but now it has started up again. We switched her formula around like 3 or 4 times until we got to this one that seems to be ok. She is so little and seems so frail. I guess because of her spitting up and the reflux she isn’t gaining weight like she should be. I’ve been concerned about it for a while but the doctor kind of just kept dismissing it. At her check-up last week when they weighed her she hasn’t even gained a pound in over two months. So now the doctor is getting a little concerned. We’re in the process of changing pediatricians now anyway. She is doing awesome with tummy time, rolling from front to back and also trying to sit up. Violet pretty much sleeps through the night. Once in a while she’ll get up for a feeding but not often. She loves playing with her hands and feet! She also loves to laugh and smile and talks up a storm. It’s amazing because Raelene and Violet will sit there and seriously have a full fledge conversations with one another just talking back and forth. It’s awesome! One will speak and then the other one answers. I wonder if they know what the other one is saying. Violet has a gorgeous smile with the brightest eyes. She is definitely an old soul. She’s almost like a lil old lady in a baby’s body and I don’t mean that in a negative way at all. It’s hard to explain. We say that Raelene is brand new to the universe. There is just this innocence about her. Violet on the other hand is an old soul and has been around a few times. She is so curious about everything yet acts as if she knows everything. She also has a bit of an attitude and is going to be a handful for sure.
Vi also ended up in the emergency room the week before Easter. She had a horrible cold and was so stuffy that she could hardly breathe. I called the doctor and made an appointment to see him. We took her and Aiden. He gave Aiden a cough medicine but said there was nothing we could do for Violet she would just have to wait it out. She was too young & too small. He took a boogie test and said that they would call with the results. I asked him again if there was really nothing we could do to help her and his reply was “you can do whatever you want but I’m not giving her any medicine.” It took everything I had in me not to punch him in the face! There’s a lot more to that story but I’m not going to get into it. So we left and later that night she was burning up and seemed really lethargic and stuff so we ended up taking her to the ER. After about 5-6 hours of all sorts of tests it came back that she tested positive for RSV and had pneumonia! So they gave her antibiotics and told us to keep a close watch on her and her breathing. I felt so bad for her that she was so sick. Of course I called the jackoff (that’s putting it nicely!) of a doctor the next morning to tell him about what happened and they had nothing to say!
Violet is deep, she looks right into your eyes to your soul, Raelene is simple she gives you her heart with a breaking smile the moment she sees you. The differences in these 2 baby girls are just amazing. Just when you think you have them figured out they switch. If 1 is cranky the other is pleasant, if 1 will sleep straight through the night, the other one wakes up. One day they’ll each love one toy and the next day not like it at all. Then the next day it could be all different. They both love and adore Aiden like there’s no tomorrow. They love to just watch him run around like a crazy person and they laugh hysterically! It’s so awesome!
Between Aiden and the girls, they definitely keep us on our toes 24/7. Here we thought we were going to teach them about the world around them and they are teaching us so many things. Every day is just like a new adventure and an amazing day.
Being a mommy is the most amazing feeling in the world. I love Aiden and the girls more than I could have ever imagined loving anyone. They are my heart and soul and my everything.
