Been Busy

we have been really busy the last 6 weeks or so, i can't even believe how much we have grown as a family as have each of the kids individually. We have been working really hard at bonding with the girls, our schedule consists of staying home most of the week, keeping to their routine and allowing them to rely and always know what to expect during the day. It has helped them to grow confidence and we have seen them just blossom and catch up developmentally too.


We have been very busy keeping up with all the doctors appointments and first check ups they have needed. In the last several weeks (just with the girls!) we have gone to the audiologist, the opthamologist, their first peds visit, a sick visit, a 1 year well visit, another sick visit, 2 cranial sacral visits with a massage therapist and 2 blood draws (and another still to come). We also had our first home study visit with out social worker and sent out our post placement packets with photos.


Paige was very sick a few weeks ago with Roseola. She had a fever for 3 days that spiked to 106 degrees, thankfully we were able to get down to about 103 after giving her a bath. a day later she broke out in a rash that lasted about a day and then she was fine. Thankfully Phoebe did not get this very contagious illness. Now, Paige has a really good croupy cough that has been lingering for about 2 weeks.


the girls are still growing like crazy, they went from below 5th percentile in weight to above 25th percentile in weight, and they are officially 20 pounders now. The doctor is very happy with the growth and developmental catch up. We are in a good routine with them and nate is doing really well with the girls and loves them so much. each day he gives them kisses on the head and a big hug. We are hoping that things will settle down in a month or two, all will be healthy and we can enjoy our summer together.
