1 Six Months Old

 Maralee & Adeline

It is so hard to believe that another month has gone by and our girls are now six months old!  In six more months they will be one!!!!!  They always say that time flies as you get older, and I really do feel like it has flown by these past three months of them being home with us.  I am a pretty sentimental person but I am trying to not linger on the memories and enjoy the present.  These girls are growing up right in front of my eyes and I don't want to miss any second of it.

Adeline

Six Months Old

We had our six month doctor's appointment and Adeline has hit 10 pounds!  Maralee is right behind her at 9.11 pounds.  Can you believe we are in the double digits?  When I think that we started at two pounds it makes my heart feel such achievement for these little fighters. We are still wearing newborn clothes but are hoping to move into some of our bigger clothes over the next two months. Both sets of eyes are looking good and we should only have to go back one more time before we are cleared.  The girls received their six month shots and also are starting the RSV shot which will help their premature lungs during flu season.  We are still on formula and he thinks we will be able to start rice cereal in another month.  One thing that we discussed in detail was their bedtime sleep habits.  The past month they had been going to bed after their 10:30/11:00 feed and would wake up around 4:30.  That was a lot better than 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. but he encouraged us to start a new schedule that should help them sleep through the night.  Our goal is to start weaning that 10 p.m. feed back to 7:00 p.m. so they sleep from 7 p.m. - 7 a.m.  I don't know what Raleigh and I will do with ourselves when that time comes!!!!!  One of the hardest things about our new schedule is letting them cry when they wake up at 4:30 a.m. and see if they go back to sleep.  We decided that it would be easier for us to let them cry if they started to sleep in their nursery upstairs.  The first couple of nights were hard hearing them scream through the baby monitor but after about three nights, they are sleeping until we come in their room the next morning!  I am so proud of them adjusting to this new routine that benefits us all! :)

Maralee

Six Months Old

Also, we have started to have more interactive play time.  At three months, they love to grasp things and have started to study what is going on around them.  I went a little gift card happy at Target and bought all of these fun little developmental toys and videos for them to watch.  It is so much fun watching them learn!  One of the biggest things that we try to do each day is our exercises to build their muscles.  They get tummy time on their Boppy pillows and we also kick their legs and practice pulling our necks up.  Our pediatrician pointed out that Adeline's neck is stronger on the left so we also do an exercise to help her strengthen the right side of her neck for better head control.  Raleigh got out the Johnny Jumper and padded it with blankets so the girls could sit in it.  Of course, they aren't ready to jump because their feet barely touch the ground, but they have fun swinging around in circles.  When they do this, they turn their head in the direction that we are in so I think that is benefiting their head control as well.  They also are starting to have little conversations with us and we get an occasional squeal from time to time that is just too darn cute.

Christen & Adeline

Raleigh & Maralee

I think as time goes on, we are going to get to experience so much with them.  Our pastor stopped us the other day and asked how we were doing.  He has three kids that are in high school and middle school and he said for us to just try and enjoy each stage of their lives and somehow the next stage is always better than the last.  That made sense to me and it is so encouraging for the future.  Thanks to everyone that has prayed for these girls to grow big and strong; they are truly little miracles. 

Till next time, let your light shine!

The month of October has flown by!!!!  I am behind on some of my posts, but I will try and get caught up this week so y'all can see what all we have been doing.  This past Sunday, we attended our church's Fall Festival.  It was a Trunk or Treat and it was so much fun.  A little overwhelming, but also really fun at the same time!!!  We decided to dress our family up like Noah's Ark and the girls were little lambs.  They were too stinkin' cute!!!!!!!!

It was really funny because most people thought we were shepherds instead of Noah and his wife, but that still made sense so we went with it!  There were so many kids at the Fall Festival and at one point I will admit I got a little nervous.  We kept the girls away from most of the kids and it worked out for our group to get an end parking spot so we weren't in the thick of the crowd.  Our group consists of baby girls and they were all dressed up so adorable that evening!

Besides going to the Fall Festival, we went to Dothan on Thursday to attend an open house for a kitchen that Raleigh had designed.  It was my first time to see his work and I was really impressed.  I am so proud of my husband and the gifts that the Lord has provided for him to be an architect.  It is really cool to see the before and after pictures and know that my husband was the one that designed it.  When we went home, we were able to test out driving our whole family in the van.  We folded down some of the back row seats so the puppies could have a pallet to lay on.  It was so nice having all of that room!!!!  

Lu Lu is loaded up and ready to go!

Our trip was short, but the twins got to visit with some of their great-grandparents.  My parents have discovered the kids consignment sales and they bought this little play yard for the girls.  It is really fun to watch them focus on a toy and try to figure out how it works.  Every day they are discovering more on how to use their hands.  It is so neat watching their brains think and learn.

The twins are learning & growing!!!!

Even though our family is in Dothan, we still get to see them on a regular basis.  On Saturday, Raleigh's brother and his wife (one of my best friends from college!) came to Montgomery to watch Auburn play LSU.  I am a member of the Jr. League here in Montgomery and one of our big fundraisers is called the Holiday Market.  I had been volunteering for it all week, but on Saturday Kari Beth and I went shopping at the market and we both got some great Christmas gifts!  It was really fun spending some girl time with KB while the boys watched the twins.  That afternoon we all celebrated as Auburn beat LSU!!!  We are ranked #1 in the nation right now which is great but we still have some really tough games ahead of us.  It is just fun to see Auburn doing so well with us still having such a young team.  War Eagle!!!!!!

So, as you can see, we have had a busy October.  Fun, but busy :)

2 For Me Mommy

So, I have a confession to make.  We did not run in the Montgomery Half-Marathon.  I know, I know, I had this whole great motivating post about how we would run in it for the girls but.....it just didn't happen.  There is really no need for excuses but I do have one :)  It just got hard to find time to run.  And, we couldn't run with the girls and we would rather spend our time with them instead of running.  There.  I said it!  I would still LOVE to run in a half-marathon and I do believe that thinking of their NICU journey will motivate me to actually complete 13.1 miles but it just didn't happen this year.

Instead, we decided to walk in the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.  As a former employee of ACS, I really wanted to support this event by being present and walking.  It was the first time it was held in Montgomery and was a huge success!  But, more importantly, we decided to walk in memory of Raleigh's Me Mommy.  Breast cancer took her from her loved ones but her memory is not forgotten!  I never had the opportunity to meet Me Mommy but I have heard so many wonderful stories about her.  One of my favorites is the fact that she would still water ski even in her later years of life.  How remarkable!  Also, I always hear what a great cook she was.  Mr. Price didn't have pizza until he was in high school because his momma would cook good ole' Southern food for her family.

Beside attending this walk, last week was pretty busy.  On Wednesday, my sweet friend Abby came to town to see the girls.  Abby and I met in college when we were both Camp War Eagle Counselors.   I truly treasure our friendship and am so excited because she and her husband are expecting a baby girl in December!  She is so cute pregnant and we had the best time catching up.  Abby couldn't get over how much the girls stretched.  I hadn't ever really thought about it but I guess they do stretch a lot...must be growing girls!

Abby, Adeline, Maralee & I had such a nice afternoon!

On Thursday we were invited to dinner at some friends that had recently remodeled their kitchen.  Raleigh was out of town but I decided to take the girls anyway.  It was my first time taking care of the girls by myself in public.  They were a little fussy in the beginning and I had to feed them while trying to eat my dinner but all in all it was manageable.  My friends' husbands helped me take the girls out to the car and everyone was so willing to hold one girl if I needed any assistance so that was great.  I am so happy to be in Montgomery with this group of friends right now.  We all have little girls and I just can't wait until they can really play with one another.  Below are some pictures that we tried to take that night of all of the girls....

This cracks me up!

October 2010

5 months

Boy, am I LOVING this weather!!!!  We have been outside so much this past week enjoying the great outdoors.  The other day I was talking to my mom about us not having been on a vacation this year and she reminded me how much fun we have just being outside.  It is so true.  Raleigh and I love going on walks and playing outside with our family.  The outdoors is God's gift for us to enjoy and it is FREE FUN which is great for us!  Lately, we have been feeling guilty about not giving the puppies as much attention as they used to get.  Before the girls arrived, they were really like our children.  Obi and Lu Lu have adjusted great to our babies but they still need to get their exercise and affection so they don't wreck the house.  Both of their birthdays are in the month of October so we decided to take them to a local park (it is more like a field) to let them run around on Saturday.  I think they enjoyed it because they were pooped the rest of the afternoon!

Raleigh loves his little girls so much.  While we are at the park, he was cutting up with them the entire time.

He loves to fly them around like Super Man (or woman in their case?!) 

 

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Miss ADELINE!!!!!

And teach them to walk (not yet, ha ha).......

Mar-Bear loves to stomp her feet!

And let Obi give them piggy back rides....

Daddy sure does love his little girls!

Raleigh with Adeline & Maralee

The weekends are such a great time for Raleigh to spend with the girls.  I have really been praying for my husband lately.  He just does so much for our family.  He is the head of the household and has chosen to support us financially so I can stay home with the girls.  It is so hard for him to get up and ready in the mornings when the girls are sleeping so peacefully.  Of course, he loves his job but being a new father is such a special time for him right now.  He is so good with the girls.  We are just getting up once now through the night (thank you, Jesus!!!) but it helps me so much to have him feed one girl while I feed the other for those late-nighters.  I know being sleep deprived can be really tough when you work outside the home all day so I am just praying for him to have his usual energy and stamina as he digs into his work weeks.

Last week was a pretty good week.  Both girls have discovered their hands but Adeline has been sucking on her fingers like crazy!  It is good for self-soothing but I'm afraid I have two thumb suckers  :)  I think they are getting close to needing a teething ring, which I think we are receiving this month at the pediatrician.  Speaking of our doctor, we went on Friday for a weight check and the girls are both 8.3 pounds!!!!!  I can really tell that they are growing.  It is getting harder to pick them up one-handed and carry them at the same time.  Also, the time in between feeds is getting a tad longer and they are both drinking around 5 ounces each time.  Sometimes I remember how long it would take us to just finish one ounce and it makes me so proud of my girls.  We haven't seen our NICU family since we roomed-in so last week we visited the day and night shift nurses.  It was SO GOOD to see everyone!  They all commented on how big the girls had gotten and Miss Kirby and Pamela got to love on the girls for over an hour!!!  They joked that they could babysit them in an isolate if we wanted.  Hmmm..........

Last week I also visited some local Mother's Morning Out programs. I just want them to go one day a week for development and socialization.  They won't start until the next school year, but the lists begin in January.  It is so crazy to me how we have to sign-up so early and we only get in if spots are available.  I found three programs that I really like so I hope they can get in at least one of them. 

All in all, we are loving us some fall!  My posts might be a little more sporadic this month because I am working away at their Christening gowns.  I am trying to finish them by the end of October so I might be dipping into my blogging time to get them finished.  Pictures will come, promise!

Hope everyone has a blessed day!!!!!

2 5 Months Old

Y'all, Adeline and Maralee are five months old!  Wow, has time flown or what?!

I love these outfits!  

Adeline and Maralee

5 months

Mom and I took the girls to the eye doctor and their eyes are really looking good.  They are far-sighted (which is good for babies) and don't need glasses.  Also, they are not in need of laser surgery for their retinas.  I ran into another NICU mom at the eye doctor and her little boy had to have the laser surgery.  She said he was doing great but he had to be re-released to the NICU for four nights to recover.  As much as we love our NICU staff, she told me that the hardest part of the surgery was him being back in the NICU after being home with her.  I had such empathy for her and am so thankful that he is once again home with his family!

Maralee was cracking up at her daddy!

Last week was lots of fun.  They are getting so animated and it is fun making faces and sounds back at them.  Sometimes I just stop and realize that I am a mom.  I love it.  The other night, Adeline was lying on the sofa next to me and I put my hand on her back to feel her breathe.  Just feeling the rhythm of her chest made my heart swell with love.  These girls are so precious and I just can't get enough of them.  On Friday, we went for a stroller walk and the weather was so nice afterward that I laid a blanket in the front yard for us to get some tummy time.  Look how good they did!

I tell Raleigh thank you all the time for letting me stay at home with them.  It is so hard for him to get up and go to work some days but he does it so we can make memories with our girls.  This weekend it was just the four of us (six counting the pups) and we had the best time doing nothing together.  Friday night we grilled yummy steaks and he let me watch The Last Song.  It was okay, but The Notebook and A Walk to Remember are still my favorite Nicholas Sparks books turned into movies.

Saturday we did a little car shopping and I think we are going to get a van.  I can't believe I am saying that but it really has everything that we want in a new vehicle.  If anybody wants a cute Volvo, let us know!!!  :)
After we did that, we sat on the couch and watched football for the afternoon.  It was really nice not having a million things to do.  Sunday was our first time going to our church as a family.  The night before, we got our game plan together on how we would get everyone dressed and ready for church.  As soon as we opened the door to leave for church, it started to rain.  Raleigh was a trooper taking each of his girls to the car under the umbrella.  We made it to church only five minutes late.  Once we got there, we sat in the back so we could sneak out if we had to.  Adeline slept the whole time and Maralee was awake but just looking around.  Once church was over we got to show them off a little and we headed home.  The rest of the afternoon it rained so I worked on their Christening gowns while listening to Norah Jones.  It was rather relaxing, I must say.

(the lens was foggy and it made the girls look like little angels!)

Friends, I am just trying to soak up every moment that I can with these sweet potatoes!  They are already getting so big and we will go for a weight check this week to see how much they have gained.  I just thank God for providing such goodness for our family!  This month, our church is memorizing Psalm 23 and the last part of this Psalm is my favorite.  I have it written on a piece of paper that I keep at my vanity and it gives me such hope each morning.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever

-Psalm 23

0 Point of View

God continues to answer my prayers.  He continually provides for my family and shows us that He is totally in control of our lives.  He hears my pleas and He shows me His ways for the health of our girls.  I am in awe of His timing and His plans for our future.  This past Friday we received an excellent report from our pediatrician.  After eight weeks, he gave us permission to cautiously start taking the girls out in public.  We need to avoid crowds and nurseries but now we have more free-will to take them out.  Hearing that news made me feel like a normal person!  The past couple of weeks have felt like captivity and now we have some freedom to go around town.  I will continue to run my errands on days that I have help, but knowing that our family can go to church together or go to an early dinner is so relieving.  Also, he suggested that we start transitioning towards cutting out the 2 a.m. feed and letting the girls go to about 4:30 a.m.  That was great news to hear because we have been waking up in the middle of the night for five months now so we are excited to get a couple more hours of sleep.  Since we started this, the girls have been waking up around 3:30 a.m. so we are making progress!

Another thing that we discussed was their weight.  Currently, they both weigh 7.5 pounds.  While that is progress, it is still not quite where it should be so we talked about giving them more formula and starting to ween from direct breastfeeding.  Making that decision was tough, but I know it is in the best interest of the girls and myself.  I have loved the bond that we got to share, but the truth is they are receiving most of their milk from the follow-up bottle.  We still have frozen breast milk that we will continue to use during the day but I am going to stop direct breastfeeding.  I'm sure a lot of moms out there can relate to the emotional side of this decision but I am staying positive because cutting this will allow for the girls to get their food faster and not burn too many calories.

Gaining weight so we can be Auburn Tigers! 

Adeline in orange & Maralee in blue

Friends, since my last post about bitterness, I have really done a lot of thinking about our situation.  Yes, the girls need to gain weight and they are developmentally behind but I need to start looking at things from another point of view....God's point of view.  I need to see them through His eyes.  What He sees are two precious little girls that He saved from death.  He brought them out of the valley of darkness and into the light of His love.  He carried them through the muck and the mire and has landed them on high ground.  These girls are a miracle and I should see them for who they are and not compare them to other children.  We will forever be unique and I need to follow God's plan for their future and not what is "normal."  My mom sat me down last week and told me how thankful I should be that I got to leave the hospital with my babies.  So many moms suffer the hardship of miscarriage or their child not surviving the NICU but God chose our girls to live for a reason.  He has big plans for these little preemies and I need to do my best to raise them to be followers of Christ.  When I let sadness and bitterness take root, I am hindering them from their purpose in life.  My attitude just has to change.

Our little sweet potatoes!

Every day I see the girls making progress.  Both girls can roll over from their stomach to their backs.  They love to pump their little legs and hold their heads up.  It is so cute to see how full of wonder they have become.  As I stare at my little girls, I know that God is developing them just as they should be.  I am so proud to be their mom and I want them to grow up knowing how special they truly are to this world.  Adeline and Maralee are little miracles and I thank my God for them.

2 Bad Boy

The past week has been really fun watching the girls grow.  Last Thursday, they both weighed in at 7.1 pounds!  We had to pack up some of the preemie sleepers...very bittersweet!

 Movin' on up to tiny newborn clothes!

Since we have reached the seven pound mark, they are really starting to progress developmentally.  They have started to focus on us when we talk to them and they like to look at the hanging toys on their swings and chairs.  It has been really amusing to watch them think, "Hey, what's this?"  One thing that I have already noticed is they can focus in on the television screen when I am feeding them.  I do not want to start a bad habit of them watching t.v. but it is fun to see their eyes get big when they focus on the images.

Also, they are starting to hold up their necks.  It is too cute because they start out strong and then it starts to wobble right before they can't hold it anymore.  Raleigh, always the one that thinks they are so strong, decided to test out the Bumbo seat this weekend.  They aren't quite ready for it but they did good for about a minute!

Maralee trying out the Bumbo!

19 weeks

Um, dad, I don't think I fit in this yet!

Adeline, 19 weeks

I really needed this encouragement in their growth this week.  One thing that I have been struggling with is bitterness.  All of my friends have these healthy little babies that are pudgy and developmentally on track and it has been hard for me not to compare. I know our girls adjusted age is almost two months, but they are still smaller than most newborns.  It is also hard to talk about them to strangers when they ask how old my babies are.  I have to explain that technically they are five months but they were born premature.  I asked Raleigh the other day when he thought we could stop explaining our girls prematurity and he informed me that I better get used to it!  Sunday, I went to church for the first time ever by myself while Raleigh kept the girls.  It was so good to be back at St. James but it was also really hard to go alone. I want to walk in as a family with two cuties in smocked dresses and have people love on them.  That just isn't going to be a reality for a while, I'm afraid.

Struggling with bitterness is like wading in shark-filled waters.  It can totally eat me alive if I let it.  The other night, I was really tired so I went to bed early but before I turned out the light I decided to read my journal from last year.  I treasure my journals because it automatically brings me back to that specific time in my life and all of those feelings.  Well, one of my first journal entries was a sermon series that our preacher did on joy killers.  He said that the three things that can kill joy in my life are selfishness, bitterness, and fear.  Hebrews 12:15 says, "Look after each other so that not one of you will fail to find God's best blessings.  Watch out that no bitterness takes root among you, for as it springs up it causes deep trouble, hurting many in their spiritual lives."  I had to really sit back and ponder over that verse the other night.  I realized that if I let myself roll around in the pit of bitterness I might never get out of it.  If I were to let it steal my joy, I would forever be comparing my girls to others their own age.  In doing this, I would lose friendships and wouldn't be an example of Christ to others, therefore, I would be 'hurting many in their spiritual lives.'

So, how do I not get eaten alive by bad boy bitterness?  I have to focus on God's power, not my own problems!  "For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose" (Philippians 2:13).  I have to stop focusing on the negative and remain in the positive.  I am SO grateful for our girls and the progress they are making.  Also, God chose us to go on this crazy journey for a reason.  We asked him to use us and this is how he did it.  Our girls are alive and healthy and we owe Him the joy that we have in our lives.

After I read that entry, I started to flip through my journal reading some of my other thoughts.  Last year was all about letting go of my fear and making the change to follow Him.  On more than one occasion I admired how He had answered my prayers.  Of course, they were all answered in His time, but to actually see how He was with me gave me such peace.  With peace, comes joy.  With joy, comes faith.  With faith, comes an uncontainable love for the One and Only Christ.

Thank you God for the joy you have given me!  Bye, bye, bad boy bitterness!

Till next time, let your light shine!

Blessings, christen

0 First Family Beach Trip!

Hello Hello!

So, in case any of y'all have been wondering where I have been the last couple of days, here is the answer....the BEACH!!!!!!  I was there for one whole fabulous week.  It was A-mazing :)  It was truly a vacation I have been looking forward to for the whole summer and it did not disappoint.  I spent six glorious days basking in the sun and splashing in the waves.  We had plenty of help from family to watch the girls so I got to enjoy some TLC in between their feeds.  I can't explain how much I needed that vacation after the summer that we have had.  It was so good for my mind, body, and soul to relax and rejuvenate.  On September 3rd, my devotion from Jesus Calling said: 

"Let the dew of My Presence refresh your mind and heart.  So many, many things vie for your attention in this complex world of instant communication.  The world has changed enormously since I first gave the command to be still and know that I am God.  However, this timeless truth is essential for the well-being of your soul.  As dew refreshes grass and flowers during the stillness of the night, so My Presence revitalizes you as you sit quietly with Me.


A refreshed, revitalized mind is able to sort out what is important and what is not.  In its natural condition, your mind easily gets stuck on trivial matters.  Like the spinning wheels of a car trapped in mud, the cogs of your brain spin impotently when you focus on a trivial thing.  As soon as you start communicating with Me about the matter, your thoughts gain traction and you can move on to more important things.  Communicate with Me continually, and I will put My thoughts into your mind." (Psalm 46:10; Luke 10:39-42; 1 Corinthians 14:33 NKJV)

Friends, I took great comfort in these words.  The past couple of months have been so stressful and I needed to hear that Jesus' Presence can refresh my mind and heart.  Also, like these words said, during my vacation I was able to sort out what is important and what is not in my life.  I tried to just enjoy each day at a time and not get caught up in tomorrow.  I still have some personal things to figure out but spending time relaxing and communicating with Jesus gave me some clarity on other parts of my life. 

Below are a TON of pictures from our trip.  Enjoy!
