It's Friday again. I have been so busy... Feeding babies! We've hit another growth spurt and we spent a massive chunk of the day sitting in bed feeding/eating. By some miracle, I was still able to get a number of things done, including some Sophie school time and reading books. Mom, dad & Andrew came over for dinner and a visit. We walked to the pharmacy together for dessert (mmm... Ice cream!) and mom found some adorable baby bracelets for all the new babies. Emma will wear hers on her blessing day.

Sophie has been quite sick the last couple days. I suspected she might have a UTI but seriously underestimated the severity until Wednesday afternoon she went from being happy and active to extremely hot, super tired and in a lot of pain. Tia came over to stay with her while I went to teach and Craig was on his way home. By the time I got home, her fever had hit 102. something and she didn't want to sit up or walk. We took her to the kids InstaCare in Springville. After some struggles to get a sample, the doc told us she had "a raging bladder infection."  Poor gi spent all day Thursday in my bed. Still not wanting to sit up or walk to the bathroom or eat much.

Wednesday morning we had the twins 2 month well check, too. They're still little! Allison is 9 pounds even and Evelyn is 9 pounds 1 ounce. 22 and 22.5 inches. They've just barely outgrown their newborn clothes and are moving into 0-3. With this growth spurt, it'll be interesting to see how long they wear 0-3s.

Tuesday was a "do all the things" day. I like those. Schedule was kept and that's always a good thing. We also took Jack & Tia to Sophie's preschool to see if it's a place he'd like to go. It is and Sophie is so excited to have Jack going to preschool with her!

Sunday was the babies blessing day. I need to pull out the computer to write about that and add pictures.

Today, which is now Saturday as I finish this, has been good but busy. Craig went golfing with dad, grant & Bryan at East Bay. Andrew spent the night with us last night and he slept in until close to 11:00. We met up with the golfers around 1:00 for birthday lunch at Tucanos. One major perk to nursing twins: the ability to eat places like that with very little guilt! The day was spent painting the house, having the girls take naps, getting things ready to be away from home all day Sunday. Even though we were just planning to go to Pleasant Grove, it did take quite a lot of planning and packing. The bees knees diapers clothes wipes heating supplies and the big girls needed clothes diapers wipes and feeding supplies. I needed my pump and change clothes and Craig would also need a change of clothes and things. Getting 4 kids 3.5 & under cleaned, fed, dressed, hair fixed and out the door by 8:10 to be to church 45 minutes away is no small feat!
