These preemie boys have made some rapid progress in the last 7 weeks! It's funny to think they should really only be 2 weeks old!
They're up to 10 pounds now and finally starting to chunk up. They're definitely not your typical sleepy newborns. They're awake most of the day and able to follow things with their eyes. Davis gave me his first real smile yesterday! A for real wide-eyed smile as I talked to him! I cried immediately and I cried when I texted Preston at work to tell him about it. Best day ever. Now on to convincing Dex that I'm not that bad...
The boys are in a phase where they're not happy unless they're being held and you can imagine how easy that is when there's one of me and two of them. I usually have Dex across my chest and Davis on my lap and that's how we spend most of our days. I've gotten a little braver venturing out with the two of them by myself but it takes so dang long to get out the door, I really have to decide whether or not it's worth it before I go somewhere! I wanted to go to a warehouse sale with some friends the other day and I truly had to get up at 5:3o to get myself and the boys there by 11:30. We were still late. It legitimately took me 3 hours and 17 minutes to get me, Dex, and Davis clean, dressed, fed, and out the door. That is no exaggeration. I was so stressed about the outing I had to mentally prepare and practice all week. Twins are no joke!
I have never been as busy or exhausted in my entire life (I'm not sure I knew human beings could function on so little sleep!) but I am more in love with all three of my boys than ever. I love my little family.

Hilarry! Over 3 hours to get ready to go somewhere??You are amazing!! I'm so glad you got a smile too! Adorbs :) I just love looking at all the pictures of these handsome little babes and I'm glad you're so happy being their mamma! :)
I love hearing you talk about your babies! You are such a cute mom! I was laying in bed this morning thinking about how tired I am going to be in just 6 weeks. They are so worth it though. I can only imagine how crazy it is holding two all day! Wish I was there to hold one. They are seriously so cute!! So, I have an idea....how about you venture across the US with those boys to see me???? :) love you!!
