8 weeks old!!

Well, the boys are 8 weeks old. Time is flying by. It is funny how I miss being pregnant now, even though this pregnancy was a lot tougher than with Abby. Here is an update on me. I don't think my body will ever get back to normal. My stretch marks are hideous (especially since I didn't get any with Abby). I will never wear a bikini again. My uterus is still shrinking (too much info I'm sure) and my joints haven't gone back to normal. I can't sleep on my side at all because my hips don't line up (or something) and I get 'stuck'. My knees can't bend like they used to and it's hard to get on the floor with Abby and the boys. Not to mention the lack of sleep and how crazy I get sometimes. I don't want to complain because it is all worth and I would do it again. Now that's craziness.

The boys are getting bigger, especially my chunky monkey Blaine (or big boy Blaine). Little man Christian is trying to catch up and eating more frequently. They are getting more alert and 'talking' more. It is so cute and adorable. I will admit that I feel sometimes like I do not keep them together enough and they won't create that twin connection. I hope I am wrong about this. It is hard to do and I am trying to make more of an effort. There is more stuff I would like to get done also but haven't. It will come together some day.

Abby and I had a fun time at the Foothills Fall Festival today. It was very cold though. We ate a lot, walked around and she played on inflatables and a trampoline thing. It was nice to have just Abby-mommy time where mommy could actually do something unlike over the summer. Thanks to Papa Dan and Nana Lou for all of their help over the past 2 weeks. Abby had a blast and it was some great relief to have help and get stuff done around the house. Life is easier with some extra hands and help. We can't thank God enough for all of his blessings on the Mooney Family.
