Kids are teething!

So we have started the next phase of teething.  Keira was the first to start fussing about it.  It comes and goes for her.  One day is bad, the next not so bad.  Conor has been real fussy the last 3 days.  Infant development recommended Camilia so I tried it and it works!!!  And right away.  Its all natural and doesnt numb their gag reflex but I still only give it once a day if needed. 

Keira is finally sleeping in her crib.  Since we moved here, she has been sleeping in our room in her swing.  I was worried when I moved her back to the crib she would wake every 3 hours but she is still on her regular schedule, usually 2 am and then up at 7.  Im getting enough sleep that I dont feel the need to nap. 

They are getting so big.  We saw Dr Bolaria (their pediatrician) this week and Conor weighed 14 lbs, 1 oz and Keira was 12 lbs 7 oz.  Unfortunatly we have been advised not to take them to play groups or church or other places where there are a lot of people around due to the fact that they are at risk for RSV.  So hopefully Shaun will be able to handle them at least every second sunday so I can go to church.  Come spring time, we can bring them out more.  Its hard out in public w/ them b/c everyone touches their hands and w/ school back in, most kids seem to have a cold.  So if we see you, please dont be insulted if I ask you to wash your hands or use hand disinfectant before touching my kids.  I dont think I have ever washed my hands so much in my life! 

My best friend Richelle Grocott was here for the week.  It was nice to have her here.  She skipped on the diaper duty and nighttime feedings but was a big help during the day.  Funny thing is, I never even though to ask her to change a diaper.  I guess I just do it w/out thinking.  Not so bad when its your own kid, though Im not sure I’ll be singing the same tune when they start solids. 

Infant development says that they are physically at the age of 3 mos (their corrected age) but socially are like a 5 month (their acutal age).  And there has been nothing to indicate that Keira was affected by the loss of her sister.  I am so thankful for them and that they are doing so well despite everything they went through!
