Paige says: “Uncle Matt is thiiiis big!”Guest Poster Aunt Nikki Here:
Wow, what a week! I have no idea how Tobie does it alone each day and work nights on the weekend, it is impossible! I have such a new respect and understanding for mothers now -especially mothers of multiples! Even with the two of us each day, we still could have used 1-2 more people to do everything we needed/wanted to get done each day done! It is truly amazing how it can be so stressful, yet so rewarding here - such a mixture of emotions. Stress, exhaustion, anxiety, love, contentment, happiness, exhaustion!
I don’t know what I will do when I leave and I can’t get the kind of love and peace from having Paige fall asleep on my chest everyday. That feeling is pure bliss! I am going to miss Cole’s happy expressions and Paige’s early morning smiles! However, I am worried about the pattern Paige has now become accustomed to - she is now going to expect being held all the time! Sorry Tobie! I love Cole and Paige even more now and will definitely have some separation anxiety when I leave! I guess I just have to come back and visit and help out more often! Tobie and Eric are trying to convince me to stay and be a live-in nanny. I just think Uncle Greg would have a little problem with that! Time to run and get my last little bit of baby lovin’ in! Note to all friends and family: If you haven’t met Paige and Cole in person yet - you have no idea what you are missing! Beware - they are very addicting.
Eric here: Aunt Sharyn, got your voice mail. You’ll have to get my dad to show you how to post comments! You just aren’t geeky enough.
Also Paige had another eye appointment today. There was no change which means no news is good news. We won’t see that doctor for about a month because we have a follow-up with our other peed eye doc in two weeks. We also did get a personal phone call from another eye doc that initially saw the babies in the NICU (Thanks Dr. N). I think we feel a whole lot better now about things after talking to 4 different eye docs. Oh, Paige took down an 8 ounce bottle today and still wanted more. I’m more convinced than ever that when she was in the NICU they removed her leg and put back some hollow bionic leg where she can store all this liquid.

Sorry Nikki has to leave already - I am sure you have enjoyed her being there…
You are doing a great job Tobie !!
YEAH for Dr. N. I just love him and he was so good for our babies!!! I am glad you talked to him and he helped reassure you too. Also, go Paige for taking an 8 oz bottle!!!!
But now I’m thinking it would all be worth if it if I got to be a guest poster on the BLOG. Hmmmm…
So what Aunt Nikki is saying is if I come out to visit, I’ll have to actually work?
Ahh Val, the work is so worth it though. Seriously - I didn’t even mind folding laundry or washing dishes when it was all about the babies! The only stressful thing was feedings. I am having serious baby withdrawls! I try to make my dogs fall asleep on my chest but they don’t cooperate and it isn’t the same!
