On Sunday afternoon James complained that he needed to throw up so he started carrying around the bucket we have for just in case. He was super whiney and acted miserable until he fell asleep in the rocking chair. He was grouchy again when he woke up but then was fine! He’d woken up very early that morning and his sister had spun him around and around in a chair for awhile, so I’m guessing that’s what did him in.
Isn’t he cute in his footie pjs?!
The kids have been enjoying playing outside this week, even though it’s cold and cloudy. (I find that much better than hot and muggy!) James looks grouchy, but he was just telling me that he wanted me to take a picture of only him. :)
Yesterday Mamma came over and watched the big kids while I took the babies to their two month check up. They were wonderful!
I brought the big pillow along, since it’s really the only way I can nurse them both while I’m by myself. I also brought the big stroller. I had quite the long long trailer! When we got back into the exam room, I changed their diapers and stripped off their clothes so they could get weighed. (I also discovered that I only had size newborn clothes in the diaper bag – whoops!)
Michael is 10lbs 5.5oz, 22” long. Thomas is 10lbs 9oz, 22.5” long. They’re in the 10th and 12th percentiles, respectively.
While we waited on the doctor, I nursed them in the chair that’s in the room. The nurse was kind enough to help hand me a baby before she left – yay! I missed my couch. :)
Dr. Harper came, asked questions about the boys, and then examined them. They were mostly happy, even being messed with.
Sadly, they needed to have some immunizations, and that made them very mad. :( Thomas even threw a fit at the oral vaccine, before he even got shots. Michael thought it was delicious. The each received three shots, and then I found myself in a room with two naked, crying babies. A few weeks ago and that would have DONE ME IN!
As it was, I got them dressed (one in a slightly too small outfit!), hopped up on the exam table with my big pillow, and nursed those sweet babies into happiness.
I don’t think they’re feeling a hundred percent today, but they aren’t running fevers. They even “played” happily in the bouncy chairs for quite a while this morning!

Michael:
They’re the cutest boys in the universe, amiright?
At their last feeding, they nursed for about an hour (I’m very warm and cozy you know.) and I think, about an hour later, they’d love nothing more than to nurse again. Normally I’m pretty mean and don’t them nurse ALL DAY LONG, but shots are rough! I am still hoping they’ll go back to sleep though. Poor babes!
