my twins are 3 months old!

[celesterra]

I feel so sad that my time is limited enough that I've been unable to keep up with you all, but I wanted to share our updates. I am able to read more than I'm able to post.

Today the boys are 3 months old! Shoghi is 9 pounds, 10oz, and Max is 11 pounds! They are acting like newborns, with increasing awake time & finally longer night sleep. Shoghi is already rolling from his tummy to his back!

We've had 2 colds hit in the 9 weeks they've been home, and yesterday Max was dxed with reflux, poor fella. I'm really ready for them to be feeling well and happy!!

I've been a little better at blog posting, and all of the posts have photos. Here's their 3 month birthday post, and here's my nursing update.

so much love to you all!

Hi Celeste, it's great to hear from you !

It's amazing that they are already 3 months old.. I'm sorry to hear about Max's reflux, we do have a reflux thread here now due to several of our babies getting it (mine included), so if you'd like support with that come on over to the thread!

I'll go look at your blog now.... take care.

i read both of your posts.... wow mama, your commitment to bf'ing is amazing.

isn't it so much fun to watch them grow and hit milestones. My little Annie is 1 month and a week and she is already growing sooo much...this time flies.

Like you said, you don't know how much time you have with your boys...enjoy it, even if you are sleep deprived.

I've been following your blog faithfully Celeste and truly enjoy reading it. It's so hard to believe they're 3 months now. Congratulations on all your triumphs!:

Great to hear from you! Your words to your boys brought tears to my eyes, and your comment about Shogi's hands reminded me of one of our favorite children's books: Bravo, Maurice by Rebecca Bond.

[celesterra]

Jenn, we should totally try to meet up, now that your LO is here, too!! It's long overdue. :

Audsma, thanks for the recommendation! I looked up that book on amazon, and it totally made me teary just reading the description! I'll have to add that one to our collection.

janasmama, wow, already 5 weeks old! i'm going to have to go explore the picture thread to see if you've posted a link. thanks for the nursing encouragement.

Rae, shoot, I'm sorry to hear that your baby has reflux, too. now it's official that both of mine have it. poor guys. i'm so sick of being covered in stinky spit up! i'll try to check out that thread. Otherwise your guy is doing well?

[sonshine_rae]

Yeah otherwise Celeste my guy is good, but until last Friday (which was a week on the meds for reflux) he was screaming, and spitting up, and fussy most of the day and at least 2-3 hrs straight each day..... ahh! So glad his meds have kicked in, he's still got issues with it but the long crying/fussing spurts seem to be easing off now.

Here's a link to the reflux thread: http://www.mothering.com/discussions...d.php?t=991317

I read your blog it was great, blogging is a great way to express ourselves especially at times like this.
Here's my blog in case anyone wants to take a peek at it.

I enjoy your blog! Happy to know the boys are doing so well. I really admire your dedication to breast feeding. I'm going to think of you those times when I find nursing a bit frustrating. You're an inspiration!

[Dahlea]

Wow, so cute! That's amazing they're so old already!

[UberMama]

Delurking.. I happened to click on this thread, was browsing the photos and the name of the photog looked familiar - haha. I'm glad you have Amy to take the pics, she is great, huh? I have yet to have her take family pics for us, but she is a friend I admire.

That is a wonderful update. Life will begin slowing down a wee bit soon (coming from another mama of twins, who just turned six years old though). I promise.

Celeste I have loved reading your blog and I truly loved the 3 month post. I also love your dedication to breastfeeding your boys! You are an awesome mother. I hope you continue to enjoy this amazing journey

[jencat]

Hi Celeste!! Congrats! My two are also three months old - today!

I can't believe Shogi is rolling over! WOW! I guess I better be careful about leaving them on the couch, someone could roll off any day now!

We have some serious reflux as well. It sucks! I'll check out the reflux thread too.

Anybody hear from Clay's Angie - one of our other twin mamas?

[Bayleesan]

Celeste - read your blog, you are doing GREAT at bfing!

[Mamja]

Congrats! They are getting so big!
