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. :-)

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 night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer. I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies. Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long. (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together. We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball! That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun! Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
