Pumpkin Patch

What do you get when you bring 3 month old twins to a pumpkin patch... 1/2 a dozen apple cider donuts, a few pictures, and a screaming baby or two!! 

Let's be serious I really only drug the family to Kellers Farm for the photo op!!  The girls have some cute pumpkin hats and we hadn't yet had a chance to snap a picture so we drove 20 minutes to a pumpkin patch.  

We went during nap time which was probably dumb but they slept on the way there. Once we got there we put them in the stroller rather than in the baby carriers.  Matt and I started our first pumpkin patch journey together by pounding 4 donuts and looked around like ok now what.  We decided we might get a better picture if we put the girls in the baby carriers.  So back to the car we went.  That's when the meltdown happened.  Emma screamed her guts out while Maddie sat quietly looking at her like really child it's not that bad.  

We snapped a few pictures and headed (as fast as we could back to the car).

Matt put Emba back in the car seat mean while she was screaming even louder.  She's usually my content baby so my mom instinct Ickes in and I thought hmm she's either hungry, overly tired, cold , or needs a diaper change.  

I opted for this diaper first and it's a good thing.  Because there was poop everywhere!! Up her back and nearly coming out her legs.  No wonder she hated the carrier ... I'd scream too if someone was trying to make me sit in my own shit.  So after I changed her, put her in her car seat, she was content as a clam !! 

Matt and I had a good laugh while we drove home. 

Baby Boot Camp

I finally did it!  3 months old and this momma got out of the house, showed up on time, and wanted to puke during her first post baby exercise class.  

Holy smokes am I out of shape!  I thought I was doing pretty good with getting my pre baby body back.  That was until I tried push ups, lunges, and running.  

So what is baby boot camp.  It's an exercise class for moms with stroller age children.  The twins were the youngest but it did also give me an excuse to get out of the house and socialize as well.  

1 hour of plyometrics, running, cardio and I was spent!  Literally sweating.  Funny thing is during the warm up I thought to myself well this is easy.  Embarrassingly easy, who would pay for a class like this.  By the end I thought to myself.... Shit no wonder why people pay someone to tell them what to do.  3 days later and I'm still sore.  

So needless to say I most likely will be continuing with the baby boot camp class.  It was an absolute blast! 

Post baby boot camp!!

Getting ready for class!

3 months old

How in the world are they already three months is beyond me.  Although some times the days are long I feel like I just blinked and a quarter of their first year went by.  

They are definitely keeping me busy so hence why I am lacking on my blog updates.  Sometimes they nap together and sometimes they don't but my teeny tiny newborns are getting bigger and are much more awake and alert these days.  

So 3 months.  We went to the doctor last week and they were both 23 inches.  Maddie weighed 9.13 lbs and Emma weighed 9.10 lbs.  Emma is in the 1 percentile for weight and Maddie us in the 2 percentile for weight and they both are in the 27 percentile for height.  Although little they are meeting their milestones and gaining a pound and a tiny bit more just like they should each month.  

I'm finally starting to get the hang of being a mom to twins and figuring out how to time things so I can get out of the house, have happy full bellies babies, good nappers, and good night time sleepers.  

Although it is still a challenge to leave and get out of the house I am doing better and having less anxiety and the girls are screaming less.  

It's been fun to finally have babies that smile and coo and try to laugh when they think something is funny.  Matt loves it too.  Now we are just waiting for that  first giggle from both.  

All in all we are doing well just busy!
