A New Look.. We are getting a "Face Lift" !
Thanks to a blogger "Hilary" who came across our blog, we are getting a pretty updated, stylish look. I can't wait and I'm excited to re do this one and Aiden's and make them more "personal" and pretty to look at. I won't go as far to say that I am a total idiot when it comes to the computer and web pages. I've done pretty good on my own myspace page, but I have to be shown how to do something first. Once someone shows me then I am pretty good at retaining the information and can run with it. Since I am not up to date on how to make these blog pages the way I wished they did, I've lucked out to bump into someone who asked if they could do them for me.. So in advance THANK YOU HILARY!!!! It's nice to know there are still people in this world who like me, like to do things for other people just cause it makes them happy (or to get the word out on just how good you are) either way, most people these days don't do much for free..

It's been a crazy week. Morgan has had a major fall back with being colic. The other night it was about 3 hours of just non stop, all out, at the top of her lungs, screaming! At 12:30 AM at that, til about 3:30am. Then the next night the same, and last night she wasn't as bad for as long, but it was on and off for about 3 hrs (not a constant 3 hours) but after a few nights of this already and myself only getting about 4 hrs total sleep the night before I was exhausted.
Chuck woke up to Aiden sleeping in bed with him, Riley sleeping in the living room where me and Morgan were and to me sitting on the kitchen floor holding my aching head, eyes full of tears and Morgan screaming like someone was killing her. What a nice way to wake up I know, but I was at my wits end. I've had this cold for about 17 days. It's near the end but every so often kicks me in the butt and I think it's just lingering on cause I don't sleep well, when I do sleep I am super uncomfortable and wake up to my back killing me. It hasn't been the same since I've had the twins, it's terrible!

As for the girls, Morgan was doing well with the Gripe water and her Zantac for the reflux. I started to give her the Gripe water a little less and after a few days, this seems to be what maybe triggered her episodes. I'm not sure, maybe it is just all in my head, but I have started giving her the Gripe water every 4 hours (unless she is sleeping) then she gets it when she wakes up. Here is hoping it starts to help again and fast cause this is tough.
She is such a cute happy baby at times and then in a snap, for no reason I can figure out she will just freak out and it's all over from there.

Riley on the other hand has her baby fit moments, but for the most part this child thinks the world is a funny funny place. She is always laughing and smiling and such a wiggle worm. She kicks the blankets of her all the time, wiggles so much her bottle go flying and she now even pulls forward like she wants to sit up or roll over. She is just a big goof ball, I love it.

Oh and unlike her sister, who would much rather be in a diaper and no cloths, Riley like being dressed. If she is in just a diaper, after about 30 mins she will fuss. Morgan on the other had has actually calmed down from one of her fits before just cause I got her naked. The child is going to be Lady Godiva, ha ha ha.. However it doesn't work for a fit all the time cause if it did I wouldn't be so stressed out..

I did sneak in a weigh in at my moms house. I weighed myself, then me with the girls and took the difference. We go to the doc on Monday to get the official weights, but as of last week from the home scale Morgan was 15 and a half pounds and Riley was 15 pounds. They are getting so big !!!
