Ho Ho Ho - Our 1st Christmas


Hi Everyone,


Here is a picture of us with Santa. We are a little unsure about this guy, but we were all in it together so we were ok. Don't you just love our outfits? We had a great time today and we sure hope we get everything we want. We have been nice so far.




Love,

James, Matthew and Walker

Doctor's visit today

Hi Everyone,

We went to the doctor's today and got our well baby exam. Here are our stats

James - 14lbs 14oz, 25.25 in

Walker - 15lbs 3oz, 25.75 in

Matthew - 16lbs 3oz, 26.75in

We did not get our shots today because James and Walker have a mild viral infection that needs to clear up first. Please send good thoughts our way so we can get better soon.

Love,
James, Matthew and Walker

Weigh in this Wednesday

Hi Everyone,

The boys have a well baby exam this Wednesday, but before I add all of their stats, I forgot to add their stats from November 8, 2007.

Matthew - 15lbs 4 oz; 25.25 inches
James - 14lbs, 1 oz; 23.75 inches (we think this one is incorrect)
Walker - 14 lbs, 11oz; 24.25 inches (we think the twins are more like this length)

Anyway, wish us luck this Wednesday. The boys have to have a shot and this one may produce a fever so it will not be pretty. Stay tuned.

Love,
Nicole

Another day in our bouncers

























James sleeping in his favorite bouncer. Must be nice to sleep kiddo. :-)




















James and his bro Walker. Walker's pants were too tight so we had to undo them. We later donated them and put him into some jeans size 6 months!!



















Walker and his bro Matthew. Matthew looks like he is ready to take off or show his muscles. Too cute.

Hope you enjoy the photos. They are better in person of course. Love, love, love them!!

Love,
Nicole and Jeff

We are closing in on 3 months!

Ok, we are almost at 3 months old. Can you believe how time flies??? We no longer scream for 4 hours a night, we are down to about 30 minutes to 1 hour right before bed. It is usually 1 or 2 of us that gives Mom and Dad trouble.

We are starting to smile and coo for everyone. We are also doing a lot of tummy time to learn how to lift our heads! Gee those things are heavy. We went to a nursery today with Nana, Grammy, Grandpa, Mom and Dad to take pictures with pumpkins and Halloween type stuff. We will post the pictures next week.

I would say we are up to about 12-14 pounds and thriving. We are going to have our next well baby exam this month and another immunization shot next month. Ouch. Anyway, we found out that Minnie and Papa Bob are coming to see us for Papa Bob's birthday. We can't wait. They are not going to believe how big we are getting.

Well, gotta go to bed. Talk to you soon

Love,
James, Matthew and Walker

Doctor's visit today


Hi Everyone,

We went to the doctor's today and we got our wellness exam. We all checked out well and we received our 1st set of immunization. We got the polio, tetnus, HIV and Hepatitis B (series) shots today. We only cried for about 10 seconds each. What little troopers we are. We also were weighed and measured for our lengths.

Matthew - 11lbs 4oz, 22.5 in
Walker - 10lbs 12oz, 22.25 in
James - 10lbs 6oz, 22.25 in

Wow, we are really growing like weeds. We went to the grocery store today and slept the entire time.

Here is a photo from this morning.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it has been a while that we have posted. It is extremely busy in the house. 24 feedings a day, about 30-40 diapers a day. Well we are closing in on 2 months old. We are getting so big, we are all about 10+ lbs. We are going to see the doctor next week for our 2 month exam and we should be receiving our 1st set of shots. This is not going to be fun. Well everyone is screaming so I have to run. Here are some pictures.

Our first trip to Los Angeles

Hi Everyone,

Forgot to mention that we took our first road trip last week. We went to see our Papa Bob and Minnie as well as our Uncle Corey, Aunt Carla and cousins Sophia and Natalia. It was so fun. We thought our parents were going to Kunde to pick up their wine, but then came home, packed and we went a long way in our car seats. We did very well. Mom and Dad stopped 2x for our feedings and would feed us in our car seats, while driving, so they could get to the house vs. stopping a 3rd time. It all worked out. We love our Minnie, Papa, Corey, Carla, Sophia and Natalia. Everyone took care of us and we wish we could of stayed longer but our parents were so tired and Walker had a doctor's appointment back in Northern California.

We can't wait to go back to Los Angeles soon. Someday when we are big enough, we will go to Disneyland and have a great time.

Talk to you soon.

Love,
James, Matthew and Walker

2 of us hit 10 pounds today!!

Hi Everyone,

Well, Walker and Matthew hit 10 pounds today! That is so exciting given that they had not had their lunch yet. LOL. James (aka Peanut) is closing in on them at 9.5 pounds. All of the boys are thriving. Still trying to find out why they cry so much. We have put them on Prevacid and the twins are now on a lactose free formula which seems to be helping the gas pain. They are not bunching up so much. We'll see, too early to tell. If the Prevacid does not work, then we will have to move all of them to Soy. We should probably know in a couple of weeks.

Nana Linda got to experience first hand what Jeff and I go through from 5PM to 10PM (which is non-stop crying) so she spent the night with us so we could actually get some sleep and take some breaks to recharge our batteries. Don' t know what we would do without her.

Wish us luck.

Growing like weeds

Hi Everyone,

Went to see the doctor again about our crying spells, just to make sure nothing is wrong. The doctor says that the boys are extremely tired and need to go back to a sleep, feed and poop schedule until they are showing signs of wanting to stay up.

So, while we were at the doctors, the boys were weighed.

Matthew - 9lbs3oz
Walker - 9lbs
James - 8lbs8oz

Gee, they are growing like weeds. They have almost doubled in size since birth.

Hi Everyone,





Here are some pictures of us actually awake. You can start to see how Walker and James are looking more and more alike each day. They are getting so big. Our next doctor's appointment is at the end of September, October 1st (our 2 month check up).











We will continue to send photos.

More Photos









Here are more photos of the boys. We got ready to go to the park today and have lunch. First time we have gone out in 3.5 weeks. We ended up going to St. Mary's and having lunch on a bench within the school and walking through the campus. It was a beautiful day. The boys really enjoyed it. I also wanted to throw in a picture of our pug, Bella, and our little peanut, James.


Enjoy

Doctor's visit today

Hi Everyone,

We had a doctor's visit early. All boys look great and are thriving. At 3.5 weeks old they are:

James = 7lbs 4oz, 19.25 inches in length
Matthew = 7lbs 13oz, 20.75 inches in length
Robert = 8lbs, 20 inches in length

It was a great visit, learned a lot!

3 weeks today!

I can't believe we are already at 3 weeks! Time is flying by. They are getting so big. They have their 1 month check up next week. I am hoping we have 2, 8lb babies and at least a 7.5lb baby. I looked in their crib yesterday and noticed that they are almost filling in the entire length of the crib vs. when they first came home. My God the time flies and they do grow fast.

Anyway, we are all doing well. We are on our 3 type of formula and this one looks like it may work for all of them. Only time will tell. Each one of them is getting their own personalities.

James - Sweet, alert, always awake when we put him down. Really doesn't like to be swaddled but will put up with it. Screams when he does not get what he wants. He makes this really cute quick laugh "ha ha". So adorable. Has the best facial expressions.

Matthew - Going to be the Mama's boy. Always has a concerned look on his face and always worried about things. I tell people that he will be my informant later on. We'll see. He loves to be held and cuddled.

Walker - Pretty independent, gets upset when he is woken up or does not get his way. Turns bright red and "growls" at me. I would say he has a pretty intense personality. He hates being confined and swaddled. Very good eater and sleeper. Likes to be rocked.

Things are great, days and nights are running together. We now have a system worked out where the grandparents are watching them during the day, I am watching them at night and Jeff and I watch them all day and night over the weekend. Prior to going back to work, we will have a night nurse working the night shift so we can sleep. I would say there is a small beam of light at the end of this long tunnel. It is all worth it.

Until next week.

Jeff, Nicole, James, Matthew and Walker
