Happy Mother's Day!

(Rainer, Virginia, Jane and Broox)

The Fab Four

Daddy and Babies

Jane was too tired to participate. She had just had her 2 oz. and she was out.

This is a great feeling! All four of your children in your arms at once. I know I won't be able to keep them there long.


Happy Mother’s Day! I am so proud to be a part of the club. We’ve had a wonderful week with Marie and Charity here with us. They have been here helping with the babies and still have one more week to spend with us. The babies are really doing well with the suggestions they have made and are sleeping much longer in the night than before. Marie is hoping that Broox will be sleeping through the night by the time she leaves. I’m already ecstatic that they are only having to eat at 9:30 p.m. and then not again until around 3:00 a.m. and then back to bed until 7:00 a.m. She has also been able to work out their reflux issues and other causes of fussiness.

They are all growing so fast! No one is wearing preemie clothes any longer. Broox and Jane’s eyes are getting lighter and bluer, while Rainer and Virginias are getting darker. For the first time the other night when I was talking and smiling at Rainer he smiled right back at me! It’s amazing to see them interact with you like that. These pictures were taken today, and they will be 11 weeks old tomorrow. Time is just flying by.

For Mother’s Day, Gray and the babies gave me a beautiful amethyst ring to represent their birth month, and Marie cooked us a delicious lunch to celebrate. I had such a special day and look forward to this first year as a mother. I had the best example in the world for motherhood in my own mother. I can only hope to be just like her.
