Benjamin is 8!!!

Today we are celebrating Benjamin's 8th birthday. We started the
morning with a matinee movie (shrek 3d) came home to play some
computer games and watch another movie (it has rained most the day).
Benjamin had this great idea to hide his presents around the house, so
we did. He spent the last half hour looking for his gifts. We finished
the present celebration when he discovered his new razor 360 trike. He
and Andrew took it out in the rain for a spin, literally. Now we wait,
pizza is on it's way... Happy Birthday Benjamin!

Monday we have planned a swim party for Ben & his friends. Hopefully
the weather is nicer.

2 weeks old today!!!

Nicholas had his 2 week appointment today. All is well and he is
healthy. He now weighs 8.6 and is 21.5 inches long (birth 8.3, 20
inch). The doctor and I am pleased he is past birth weight. It's hard
to know how much food he is getting when nursing. The boys told the
doctor today that nursing goes against mother nature. Ha! The baby
sleeps about 2.5 hours at a time between feedings, if I supplement
with formula he sleeps 3.4-4 hours, tempting... I've done he math and
in a 24 hour period I am nursing 8 hours. That's FT work!

Amazing to me it's been two weeks already. I'd love the life of FT
home mom. The pace is so different than a FT work mom.

Big yawn!
