3 months

I have not posted since the babies turned two months. It has been a crazy month, Jake finished first grade and Nathan finished 4 year-old preschool. The week that school was ending for the boys Olivia ended up in the hospital for 48 hours with a fever of unknown origin. Which meant a full work up including a spinal tap! Luckily it was determined to just be a virus. Her doctor wanted to to be extra cautious due to her age. Big boys are in camp all summer and having a blast! 

 Babies are getting so big and are changing everyday. Jonah is really getting chubby! They are both sleeping pretty well, usually just up once for a quick bottle and back to bed. Since they are sleeping so much better meant it was time to say good-bye to Stella out night nanny. We were so lucky to have had her for 3 months. It is going to be an adjustment for all of us not having her here. Jonah continues to be our chill baby and while Olivia is much busier and always like to be moving. Luckily overall they are very good babies. Many morning Jake wakes up very early, he will come in to our room grab an ipad or phone and then go hang out in the babies room until we are up. Nathan is my little helper and always wants to hold time. Olivia's reflux is under much better control. Both are in size 1 diapers and 0-3 clothes. Some of the 0-3 is getting small on Jonah. That is all for this update Olivia is up from her nap and wanted a bottle. 

2 months!

Time is flying like crazy. Jonah and Olivia are 2 months old!! They had a great check up with the Dr Nzoma, she said they are looking great. Jonah was 9 pounds 5 ounces, 21 inches, Olivia was 8 pounds 12 ounces and 21 inches too. They are still weaning newborn clothes and diapers. We started Olivia on reflux meds and changed her formula to Alimentum and she seems much more comfortable and is not fighting her bottle.  They are still so little but have grown so much. Hopefully in the next few weeks they will start smiling and tracking objects. 

Mother's day brunch

Nathan's class hosted a Mother's Day brunch this morning. He was so proud of the jewelry tray and necklace he made me. The kids also made a lovely spread of food. It was a very special morning with Nathan. 

play mat fun

Time to start bringing out the toys now that they are 5 weeks and starting to be a little more awake. 

1 month well check

Olivia and Jonah had their one month check up this morning. It went great, both babies are doing very well. Olivia now weighs 6 pounds 12 ounces and Jonah was 6 pounds 14 ounces. They each gained two pounds in just over two weeks! Both were 19.25 inches they were 18 inches at birth. They no longer need the high calorie preemie formula either. Both had to get a hepatitis B shot. Olivia has started to have her days and nights a little confused hopefully this not last long, and Jonah continues to sleep well at night.

One month

Their one month check up in Monday, I can't wait to see how much they weigh now. They are filling out their newborn clothes much more and are out of preemie diapers. Sleeping wise is about the same, you never know what you are going to get. All I can say I'm so grateful for the night nurse I could not survive without here. Luckily I only have about 2 nights a week that she is not here, and I dread them.  Can I just say getting both to look at the camera or be happy at the same time is very challenging. 

4 weeks

Time is flying!! 

3 weeks

It is hard to believe that Olivia and Jonah are already 3 weeks already. Yesterday, April 25 was suppose to be my scheduled c-section. They are still so small but they are growing quickly, they have outgrown their preemie clothes. Jonah continues to be Mr. chill while Olivia requires a little more attention.  I am getting a little more use to life with 4, I was brave and even took all 4 to Kumon by myself the other day. Big brothers are very in love with the babies and always ask to hold them. 

The Mets

Jake is very excited to be playing baseball again this year. This season he is on a coach pitch team and it is much more serious than last year. He is having so much fun and is learning so much.

Jake is 7!!

It hard to believe that our first born turned 7 on Thursday!! Due to the babies arrival we are going to have his party a little late. But we are going to have a fun filled birthday weekend that includes dinner at Rainforest Cafe and a Lego Fest!

snuggle time

It still amazes me how these two want to be so close. I wonder how longer they will be able to share a bouncy chair? 

2 week check up

It's hard to believe that these little munchkins are already two weeks old.  Today was their 2 week check up. Both babies are doing great and over their birth weights, Olivia weighed in at 4 pounds 12.5 ounces and Jonah was 4 pounds 14 ounces. We no longer have to wake them at the 3 hour mark to eat but lets be real babies this size and age are not sleep much longer than 3 hours. Next appointment is when they are a  month. 

the Becker boys no longer...

We now have a little girl!! And, another little boy!!

Olivia and Jonah were born Thursday, April 3, 2014 at 9:25 and 9:27 pm. They were born 5 weeks early but are doing great! Olivia was 4 pounds 11 ounces and Jonah was 4 pounds 13 ounces.
