Things have been a bit busy
I realized today that it's been far too long since we've posted. I'll attempt to update in the next 10 minutes before it's time to feed the boys.
Our new schedule is working!!! The boys consistently go 4-5 hours at a stretch at night, and last night we got 5 1/2! WOW! It was great! Here's hoping last night wasn't just a fluke.
The Zantac seems to be working alright, but I guess it's just simply hard to tell. It'd be really nice if the boys could just tell us what's wrong, but I guess that's not part of the deal right now.
They had their 2 month check-up a week and a half ago, and the doctor is quite pleased (of course!). Will weighed a whopping 9lbs14oz and was 20.5" long, while John was up to 9lbs even and was 21" long. I told Ryan that Will is built like me and John is built like him! :) By this point, I'm guessing Will is close to 10 1/5 lbs and John is nearing the 10lb mark. It's funny - John still feels so much lighter to me!
Tomorrow marks the beginning of my 2nd week back to work. While last week was so incredibly hard, I know that it's a) for a short time and b) for the boys. Monday wasn't too bad because Mom was here, so I didn't have to worry about packing everyone up and heading out. I'm happy to say that Tuesday-Friday, I was at school around 8:00 every day! I made it to our sitters' houses at 7:30 pretty much on the button every day. Let's just hope that continues. I'm not enjoying having to wake up at 4:50am to get everything done, but I guess I'll get used to it in time...and by that time it'll be summer vacation! It felt good to be back at work and back in the swing of things, but of course I missed the boys dreadfully. I actually felt like a human, all dressed up and with make-up on. Though I can't complain about 8 weeks of lounging in my PJs until noon! And Ryan is doing an incredible job helping around the house and feeding the boys when he gets home from work and I'm still at school.
We hope to post some more pix soon. We forgot to take some last week on their 2-month-iversary, so we'll have to fudge it a bit. They'll never know, right?

Chunky Butt and Small Fry
Will and John have new nicknames - Chunky Butt and Small Fry. We knew that Will was heavier, and that was confirmed today when we went to the pediatrician. John is up to 8lbs3oz and Will is up to 9lbs!
Both boys are now on Zantac for suspected reflux. They've been very fussy lately, so we're hoping that this will help calm them down a bit.
We're also going to try out a new nighttime schedule so we can get (hopefully) some more sleep. Here's hoping it'll work!
