Being a parent is so hard!!  Especially when daylight savings takes effect.  Tonight Conor was in bed at 630 and Keira at 6.  This means at the latest a 5 am wake up for me and I wont be able to fall asleep till later.  I have found that I am a very grumpy person when I dont get my needed sleep.  Thank goodness for a forgiving husband though Im sure this is taking its toll on him. 

On Sunday Conor and Keira were dedicated at church.  They behaved themselves pretty good.  They put together a slide show of all the babies being dedicated (there were 7 I think) and I got all choked up when they put up the shot of Conor an hour after he was born, hooked up to everything to keep him alive.  Its hard to believe all that they have gone through.  They are my miracles and Im so thankful for them.  I just wish Cadence could be here with us as well.  I do still have my moments missing her and hope that I always will.  The other day on Oprah there was a video of a baby boy who’s birth was a miracle and it was a matter of days before he passed on.  The parents video tapped every day of his life and he lived for 99 days.  They celebrated every day that he lived.  It was so touching and really made me think of Cadence.  I wish so much that I would have gotten the chance to meet her, even if it was for only an hour.  I think it would have been harder to lose her after meeting her but at least I would have looked into her eyes and told her I loved her.  Im so thankful for a Heavenly Father who has welcomed her into Heaven and that I will get to meet her again one day. 

Keira is either sleeping, eating or crying it seems w/ a short time of smiling.  Sometimes I wonder if she is lonely for her sister but I think most of the time her tummy is hurting her.  I can settle her down as long as I stand w/ her and put pressure on her belly but she is getting heavy!  She weighed in at 12 lbs 3 oz when she went to get her immunization shots last week.  I dont have a weight for Conor but Im sure he is close to 13 lbs.  Conor smiled at himself in the mirror for the first time today.  His smile just makes my life that much better.  He is so easy to make happy now.  Him and Keira did a complete switch and he is now the easy one.  Keira is so cute when she talks to you.  It is such a gentle talk.  I cant wait till they can say words.
