Yesterday Maddie and Ben reached the 12-week old mark. Yep, that's 3 months! The time has flown by. We've definitely gotten past the really hard part.
I'm sure glad I have a long maternity leave. I can't imagine having to go back to work right now. Although, I think most of that is due to the fact that the newspaper industry -- and the PiPress -- are in the toilet and not doing the kind of work that I enjoy. UGH.
I watched a video we made of a nurse showing us how to swaddle the babies and the baby in the video was Ben, but I wouldn't have recognized him if not for the "Ben" written on his hospital hat! They have changed sooo much.
Right now they are sitting in their bouncy chairs watching the bubbles on one of the bouncer toy bars. It's see-through, so if I put the two chairs facing each other, both can enjoy the same toy bar. They get so excited by something so simple.
Yesterday they celebrated their 3-month birthday by sleeping pretty much all afternoon. It was sweet for mom! They slept the whole time my mother's helper was here and she didn't even get to hold one of them! She just kept on eye on them, while I worked out and got some things done around the house. We'll see how this afternoon goes. It's rare to get those long naps two days in a row, but I can certainly hope.

It's very strange to see pictures of the boys when they were born. I look at them now and can't believe it's the same two babies- they look nothing like they did. I do find it easier to identify who was who back then though, now that we're a little bit removed from it all.
I hope your afternoon naps continue, we're still a bit hit or miss here. Some days they go down, some days they don't.
