I am no longer funny

After reading my sisters blog I realized that my blogs must be so very boring!!! She told me I needed to blog but I don't really have anything to say. I think that maybe I need to make another blog that isn't about the twins. It can be like a secret public blog...hmmm...I'll have to think about that.

As for the babies...they are doing awesome!!! They had their third trip to Flat Top Grill last night. They didn't do as well as they had the previous two times. I ended up having to hold Aaron while I ate...I think I held Aaron...it could have been Elliott. Oh! Speaking of Elliott, he puked all over Annie last night at our new house. I felt super bad. He was kind of gagging but he does that sometimes and I told Annie to aim him to puke down her shirt...this was a joke. He started to puke and he puked directly down her shirt in front of the Realtor!!! He may not be having kids anytime soon now!!! I don't really know why Elliott puked...probably because I was just thinking about how they hadn't REALLY puked in a long time.

Elliott and Aaron have managed to stay alive without their monitors and are even sleeping in their beds at night. I haven't been able to get them to nap in there during the day yet but I am sure that day will come. I am not sure the day will come that they will sleep all night without waking up acting like they haven't eaten in days!!! I started putting 5oz in their bottles yesterday but they didn't really take much more than 4. I guess we will stick with 4 for a little longer.

Our stroller is the BEST twin type product we own. Mom and I used it when we took the boys to download the monitors on Monday...so much easier than carrying the carseats. Andrew thought that it was going to be a big hassle, but I showed him. We took it to Target and Andrew loved it. Since our carseats are not actually made for the stroller, we have to take one baby out of his carseat and have him lay down in the back of the stroller. That kind of sucks but is still way better than putting two carseats in a cart or using two carts. The only downside which could be a good thing is that you can't really buy anything because its really hard to fit stuff in the basket under the stroller. We were able to fit 6 cans of formula but a big box of diapers isn't going to fit down there. I was so worried that this wonderful stroller would not fit in the truck...but it does!!! It's pretty much the only thing that will fit in there but we will figure that out later. I have to take off two of the wheels to make it fit...

Today the boys and I will have to take a trip to Apria Health to take back their monitors. What a glorious day!!! I think that we might have to go to Old Navy too. I think that Grandma Bock is going to be here so maybe we should wait for her. I think she will LOVE to shop with the babies. Oh...the best thing happened the other day. A lady at Target said to Andrew (twins!!! You are so lucky". Nobody ever says that. They always say things like "boy do you have your hands full" or "how do you do it"....thanks to that lady for seeing how awesome it is to have twins. She also said "I won't get too close...I know you aren't supposed to do that" LOVE HER!!!

I want to write about baby bottles but Aaron is hungry so I better feed that sweet little guy.

the hicks babies have gone wireless!!!

Elliott and Aaron are no longer on apnea monitors!!! What a glorious day!!! I was super happy and not worried about it until I called my mom and she said "I hope you can sleep okay tonight and aren't up checking that the babies are breathing all night". Thanks mom...I wasn't really thinking about that. Then Andrew came home and also said something like that...I think that they are fine. God will take care of them...and it's not like the monitors were making them continue to breath. They do it on their own because they are AWESOME!!! Also, the crazy lady from the Health Department came today. My mom asked what she came for and she told her its because the babies are high risk since they were born early. The lady, Alice, weighed and measured the babies. Elliott is 22 inches and weighs 10 pounds!!! Aaron is 21 inches and weighs 10 pounds!!! Jackson (nephew born July 2nd) probably weighs 14 pounds by now...my little chunks are going to outweigh him before we know it!!! I love my babies but Julie has such cute little kids...I kind of wish mine would have stayed tiny for a little longer. Cassidy (niece born April 20) is tiny too. It's strange to have normal size babies among all these tiny ones...I think they are normal size...I think they gain so much so fast because they are formula fed. I just hope that they are healthy and not over weight. I have major weight issues and don't want to put that on my kids. I want them to grow up with healthy body images and really am praying that I don't make them think that they need to be on diets. Maybe its more of a girl thing...I don't know. Maybe being aware of my own self image issues will help me keep my boys self images healthy. Well...now that I am done with that tangent I must be off to feed my second born...sweet little Aaron with his big tummy and chubby cheeks....oh so kissable =)
