Collin is one month!

Wow! Collin is one month old now and I caught this smile today on camera! Well the past month I think we can honestly say has been the hardest month ever. Adjusting to the two boys has not been easy. We are so incredibly exhausted. I can't believe I thought having one was exhausting. One of these boys is ALWAYS hungry. I tell Wes that's all I do all day - feed these boys. With Collin eating every three hours and feedings sometimes taking an hour and Ashton taking an hour to eat (because meals are usually followed by naptime or bedtime), sometimes that is all I do with a load of laundry in between and sometimes a meal for myself! We are drowning in sippy cups and breastpump parts in the sink and laundry is overflowing! Since we have Collin in our room and changing him on our bed, we are constantly having to change our sheets from getting sprayed or pooped on as well. Last weekend in the middle of the night, Collin went through all the outfits we had gotten out for the night from Ashton's room so Wes had to sneak in the room to get something at 3 am and of course Ashton wakes up so then we're all up but thankfully that has only happened once.Thank God Ashton is a heavy sleeper!

The next morning, we found a huge amount of dog vomit with some sort of object in it that Wes thinks was one of the boy's socks. We're still not sure how Haley swallowed it whole. At first Wes said he thought it was a rag to which Ashton said, "oh my goodness. I think it's a rash!"He has heard a lot about rashes because besides dealing with the usual newborn stuff, I have had a strange rash come and go that the derm thinks is a drug reaction to something I had during delivery. Ashton has had a rash around his face that may be a reaction to his toothpaste we found out-what next for his allergies??
Collin has also been having some nursing problems and the lactation people think he may need physical therapy for his tongue??!! Give me a break. I'm in the medical field and usually all for all things medical but this is getting out of hand. I just finished Ashton's PT for over a year! I have decided to hold out on that. In the midst of everything, Wes has started band season which brings many late nights and parent meetings and we have been planning Ashton's second birthday party and this week, our van broke down and needs a new transmission! UGH! Thankfully, the boys and I were not with Wes when it broke down and my grandparents were following him. God provides in so many ways though because we found out yesterday we are getting a refund for some of my C-section cost that we were not expecting.
I have rambled enough about our month now.So Collin is one month and still such a sleepy cuddly sweetie! I told Ashton he was one month and Ashton asked for cake and presents because he's had a lot of that lately celebrating his own birthday.He is adjusting well and likes to put his face next to Collin's now and says, "Sweet Collin." I have to keep reminding myself that one day he will never remember life before Collin. It's hard to imagine now for all of us-look at that face!

Our boys' booties-Check out these boys' diaper sizes! It cracks me up!
