One Month

Last Wednesday, Emilynn and I took Baby Henry for his one month check-up.  He weighed in at 10 lbs. and 1/2 an ounce.  He's like a ten pound sack of taters!  :-)  He also grew and inch in length, he is now 21 1/2 inches long.  He got a great report, we go back next month for his two month check up and shots. 
Emilynn was good there, I did bribe her with a sucker-but we got through it.  Carson stayed with Papa doing farm stuff.  I had never taken two children to the dr. by myself, so I was nervous but they did great.  Afterwards, we did what any girls do when out together-we shopped!  We went to the mall and I fell in love with my new favorite store-Crazy 8.  I had never been in there but Emmy has some of the cutest things from there that grandmas have bought her.  I loved it, we will definitely be going back for more.  She got two new dresses and an outfit, and Baby Henry got some shirts.  I didn't find anything for Carson but that was fine because he just likes to wear John Deere shirts anyway.  Regular price stuff there is a touch high but you know me, I shopped only the sales!  :-) 
As far as how we're adjusting here, it's crazy, I won't lie.  The twins have decided, well Emmy has decided she doesn't need a nap anymore.  She keeps Carson awake most days, and it makes for a LONG day for Mommy.  I have been having NO trouble falling asleep by a little after 10 pm, no matter how much caffeine I've had to keep me going during the day.  I am such a night owl, so this is a huge adjustment for me.  The house has been neglected a bit last week as I've tried to re-adjust my schedule and routine and get used to this new phase.  We'll see how it continues.  Meme and Poppy have suggested a tv in the kids room to help Emmy wind down for a nap. I'm definitely mixed on this, I haven't decided for sure yet what to do.  I'd rather not start a tv in the room, but I do miss nap terribly.  Of course, in a few years naps would be history anyway....so I don't know what to do.   Then what if we buy a tv and dvd player and it doesn't help?  Waste of money.....urrghhh....So, we haven't done anything at all.  Maybe I'll figure it out this week.  For now, I'm off to get ready to go to the farm and have lunch with Amanda and Juju.  Dustin is off today so the kids are feeding cows and I have a tiny break.  :-)  Aren't you glad I decided to use part of it to update the blog???  :):):)....I know, I"ve been a blog slacker lately but I've been so tired at night.  I will try to do better and update more.  I realize I still haven't blogged Henry's birth story and so much more!   More soon, I promise!!!!!
