Officially "full term"...

Well, yesterday was Paige and Garrett's 40-week due date. So they are officially full-term! Paige is still growing slowly and we're looking forward to seeing what she weighs on Tuesday. Because she's smaller, she doesn't have the longer periods of wakefulness that her big brother has. And she also tends to be fussier and prefers to be held. She's definitely a dainty little girl and as cute as a button.


Garrett on the other hand is a chow hound. I swear he's probably gained a pound over the last week and can easily eat 4 oz at a time. He's definitely all boy, and is amazingly strong. He can easily lift his head up for a decent length of time. But for all his strength, he is extremely mellow. He sleeps like a log (which is the opposite of his sisters) and will self-soothe himself to sleep. He'll even stop feeding for a moment to "burp himself" before continuing to eat. He's officially my easy baby!


Molly is doing alright. She's still struggling a little with touching the babies gently and loves them a little too vigorously at times. She's having fewer tantrums, but is still not back to herself. It's compounded by the fact that she's got the sniffles still, which she has passed on to myself, both babies and her Nani. Steve is the only one that's healthy. I suppose it was inevitable that she would get something from one of the kids at school. We did take advantage of some of the recent good weather and took a trip to the park... our second outing. Molly loved being outside and the twins stayed asleep the entire time, thanks to Nani walking laps with them in the stroller!
