All Good Things Must Come to and End :-(

I can't believe it, but my maternity leave is over. I'm back to work on Monday. My time flies! My babies are almost 4 months old, but even more impressive is how much I've grown through these 4 months. I look back at those first couple weeks and can't believe that I'm even the same person. What seemed so overwhelming a few months ago has become old hat to me now. Don't get me wrong, the kids are by no means easy, but my coping ability, patience and confidence has improved exponentially.

As much as I'm going to miss the 40 hours a week I won't see my babies, I am looking forward to getting back to my previous life a bit. I'm sure I'll eat my words after a few days back at work, but right now the thought of being needed for something besides diapers and bottles is refreshing.

Fortunately, my mom will be here to help with the transition back to work. I'll go back to work full time on Monday. My mom will spend the week with the boys, but they will do half day trials at daycare on Tuesday and Thursday.

Here are some updates on both boys:
Jeremy
- 12lbs, 4 oz as of 6/9. His weight puts him at about the 50th percentile
- Slept through the night (but only once). We're back to one wake up per night
- Rolling over back to front. Unfortunately, this is what usually wakes him up in the middle of the night. He rolls over, but then gets stuck and frustrated
- grinning and giggling a lot!
- wearing 3-6 months clothes

Nathan
- 9 lbs as of 6/9. His weight puts him at the 3rd percentile. Woo-hoo... he made the chart!
- Only waking up once per night and usually making it 9 hours! (waking up around 4:30am)
- Not rolling over yet on his own, but with a little help he rolls from front to back.
- also grinning and giggling a lot!
- finally has moved into size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes
