The Glenn twins: three months

Me oh my! I can't believe my little babies are now THREE months old! Three months brought one very huge new thing...mama went back to work sept 29.


Month three brought on huge SMILES! G and T give me those big, gummy grins now and it melts my heart.  Both are now in size 1 diapers, G can still rock newborn clothes and Thomas can wear 0-3 and 3 month. They really are pretty good little babies:-) There are definitely times when both are crying/screaming or sometimes between the hours of 5-7 we have to hold them... But I feel like that's pretty par for the course with infants.  They are sleeping great!! Not quite as good as big sister was at this point, but they are smaller than her and I'm not sure they should go that long without food yet.  I typically nurse them for the last time each night somewhere around 10/10:30 and the past week they have consistently been sleeping 8 hours at night. (Sometimes closer to 9!) I will slowly start putting them to bed earlier and earlier, i do it gradually.... Where hopefully they will soon be sleeping from 8 pm to about 7 am. We aren't too far from that! We still do our routine every night of bath, nurse, swaddle and white noise. I also put them to bed awake so they know how to fall asleep on their own. So proud of my little guys!

They are nursing or getting breastmilk from a bottle (now that they are at daycare) every three hours. (I'm pumping and hope to be able to keep my supply up enough to produce enough for both! But if not, we will supplement with formula.) In between feedings they play/we try to stimulate them and do tummy time for about 30 minutes after eating before they nap. Thomas is a much better napper than graham during the day but at night graham sleeps more Between the hours of 8-10 pm. Silly little fellas:-)

Collins still absolutely adores her little brothers. These kids are my world and I'm so thankful to God for making me their mama!! 

*edited to add: I first wrote this post in their three month birthday... Well I'm just now posting it a week later, of course. But wanted to note that now the boys are sleeping NINE hours a night for the past week... Going from 10-7. So proud. :-)

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
