Exciting

We had a fun and exciting day.  We hung out with Jessica and Lennon. We started at the little bird watching center. They have some lizards and snakes in cages to look at. Then we went to check out the pizza place with an arcade and play place. The boys had fun in the arcade even though they didn't get a single quarter. The play place was dark and scary to Tate. Then we went to Walmart. Audrey had a pretty tough day. Her gastric emptying test is scheduled for July 28. 

Apology

I had a surprise visit from priest this morning. He gave me a very sincere apology. We went swimming this afternoon with Tate's friend Rhett. The boys had a good time and the girls were hot. My college roommate had a baby girl this morning. Her first baby was 1 lb. 9 oz. and after a lot of time in the NICU he ended up just fine. She had to deliver this girl at 36 weeks due the previous vertical c-section. The baby needed help breathing and had to be transferred to a different hospital.  

3 months

The girls are three months old today. They are both wearing size 1 diapers (Ellie needs 2s at night) and in 0-3 month clothes. Ellie eats 5 oz. every 2.5-3 hours and sleeps from about 7:30-6:30. Audrey eats 4 oz. every 2-2.5 hours but her feedings take a long time. She gets up once or twice a night. I try to get both girls up at the same time each day. They are both taking catnaps. They both are smiling and starting to talk. They both seem to be on the verge of laughing. Audrey still does not have great head control and we stretch her neck for torticollis. Ellie is doing great. She hates tummy time just like her sister. Her head is very flat. They are just too precious. It is fun to watch these sweet girls grow.  Tate had his buddy Lennon come eat lunch and play. He was exhausted by evening. 

Crew

I have quite a crew here. Tate either pretended to be a baby or play with a doll all day. Audrey cried all day and Ellie was also fussy. Tate made a huge mess with his toys and refused to clean it up. Mean old mom won after all the toys got put in a trash bag. As I was laying with him this evening he told me he had a great day with me. 

Exorcism

Today at church the new priest offered to perform an exorcism on Audrey because she was screaming. She lost it during the final blessing so we didn't take her out. I didn't appreciate the joke and everyone turning around to see who he was talking about.  It is upsetting because we were simply trying to feed her. Tate also pooped his pants at the end of church.  He was wearing underwear right before the girls were born but then regressed back to diapers. Hopefully we get back to underwear quickly. I made such a special memory with my mom this evening. I was rocking Audrey and singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and my mom had Ellie. I started humming and my mom started singing the second verse.  Three generations of girls bonding!  

Girls

The girls had a rough evening! Tate went to work with Brett this afternoon. 

Reflux

We saw a gastroenterologist today for Audrey. She said there wasn't much else that we could do. I am so sad. I am sad for Audrey because she is still in pain. I am sad for Tate and Ellie because I have to spend my time with Audrey. We went shopping at Sam's and Target before we came home. The girls both cried most of the way home. Tate went to daycare and then to my mom and dad's house. He made mud when he got home and dumped it all over his head.
