Babies

Taking care of the twins is no job for one single person.  It is hard enough with just Darlene and I together.  If you are a parents of twins and took care of them all by yourself for the first two months then you are a ROCKSTAR.
Violet is pretty laid back and doesn't fuss much unless she is hungry or needs to be changed.  Now Ryan on the other hand is one fussy baby.  I thought that we might have made some improvements yesterday, but now I am not so sure.  We are using gas drops, feeding him more upright and burping after every ounce.  It has helped a lot.  Now he was only fussing in the evening instead of ALL DAY.  He was OK in his swing for about 25 mins, which is a huge improvement.  The other issue is that he won't nap during the day.  And the only way that he will stay down for any period of time when he does is on his stomach.  ( I know we are terrible parents )

If both of our kids were like Violet then things would be much better for us.

We are going to continue to monitor the situation.  And of course mention it to the Dr. again if it doesn't get better.  We are going up North for a family wedding this weekend and then for Labor Day weekend.  It may be interesting.

Schooled

As many of you know I have been going back to school for my IT-Networking degree from MSTC in Stevens Point.  I am in my 3rd semester.  I have 2 semesters left.  I will be doing another full time semester this next spring.  I did full time last spring and it was rough.  Hopefully it won't kill me like last semester did.  The plan is that I will graduate next December.  There have been some rough spots, but I made it through.  I am looking forward to finishing up this semester and getting started with the next one.  I will hopefully be doing my internship soon and I am excited to get some on the job experience. I am also looking forward to getting done with the semester so that I have more time to do work on the house.  We plan on doing most of the work on the back bedroom the first/second weekend in January, when I am on winter break.  And then the plan is to work on the bathroom over spring break. (the end of March)   The G ...

Post Op

First of all thank you to everyone that prayed for us last week while Darlene had her surgery.  Everything went great.  Darlene is doing well.  Still a little sore sometimes, but hopefully on the fast track of recovering!  Last time it was arthroscopic procedure.  This time it was actually an incision.  So there is more healing time needed now. The hardest thing now is Darlene being around the kids when she can't pick them up for a few weeks yet.  It is killing her that she can't pick up an hold her babies.  She does as much as she can, bathing, changing, feeding.  So she is at least getting some good time with them.  But it isn't the same.  She plans on being able to persuade the Dr. when she goes in for her check up to ease up on the lifting restrictions.  Nothing over 10lbs currently.  Violet is at 15lbs and Ryan at 18lbs!  They get so big, so fast.
