Feeling kinda normal!

and it feels good! We are getting things arranged and settled down here in the basement and although it's smaller than the house we outgrew (so we thought!) in Portland, we are making it work. I bathed 2 of the babes this morning with the company and help of my aunt and cousin while Ben took Brody and Evan to grandma C's for the day. Yesterday he took Brody and Riley, and tomorrow gma will be happy to have "her boy" Payton over for the day :) Gma offered to take one of the trips along with B over at her house when needed (she does in-home daycare), let me tell you- 2 babies is a breeze!!! hahaaa! We appreciate all the extra help as we are still going through boxes and trying to get things settled. I spent over an hour on the phone this morning trying to get Dr appointments set up and records transferred, oh the joys.

The trips have been doing so great lately :) The new Prevacid tabs (that taste like strawberries) have been doing the trick. Except for Riley- he likes to be difficult and does better on the Zantac. We hoped all could stay on the same meds but I guess they aren't identical with everything. Feeding Payton is A WORLD of difference now~ most of the time he is an absolute dream. They all have about feed per day where they are not comfortable and it's usually the afternoon and evening feeds, but at least it's not every feed. We are so grateful for the peds in PDX who helped us get them all taken care of, making appointments with a new Dr today made me miss Dr. MP so much!

The boys are now offered 8oz bottles and usually take 4-8oz depending on their mood. They eat at 7am, 11am, 3pm and 7pm! It's crazy that we are down to only 12 bottles a day, way better than the 24 bottles we started out with!! Although, with this boil order 12 bottles is about the pain of doing 24 ;) We set up the boys cribs in the hallway outside of our room and they did great last night. They went down really good at 7:30pm and we didn't hear them fuss until 4am. I just gave them their paci's back and we only had to do that a couple more times until big man Evan couldn't hold off for his bottle any longer. He is such a big boy! Our brutus beefcake for sure :) It is awesome to see him thriving after all that he has been through.

Brody is doing great and loving life and all of the attention here. We are struggling to get him back into his routine as he has been staying up WAY LATE! We realized yesterday that if he doesn't get a nap in while at gma C's that evenings are no fun! I am happy he is not ready to give up a nap yet, they are good for all :)
