Visit From Veronica

What an eventful weekend. My longtime friend Veronica flew up from Maryland to meet the boys and help me out for a night. She was a tremendous help, with cleaning bottles, walking cranky boys around the block and even getting up in the middle of the night for the many feedings. She was a trooper, but sadly she had to return home to her kids. We also didn’t get a picture of her with the boys, I guess we were to busy, but she did snap a cute one of me and Kieran (thanks Vern).

On another note, poor Rowan had to take another trip to the Doctor this Monday. He just wasn’t himself, so off we went. My first Doctors visit with the boys alone, Rowan screamed through the doctor’s instructions to me, thankfully he wrote them down because I couldn’t hear a thing. As usual Kieran decided to chime in halfway through, he never likes to be left out. It appears that Rowan has a bad case of acid reflux, which explains a lot. The good thing is we can mix cereal with his formula. Surprisingly this helps so much, he no longer spits/vomits up his entire bottle and I am not stuck changing several outfits a day. Hopefully the combination of things we started will make him feel better soon.

The boys christening is coming up soon. I still have to get slips for them to wear under their gowns my mother made for them. We are all looking forward to having the family here and for the boys to finally meet their Aunt Shannon. I better go get some needed sleep while they are napping. As we know sleep is scarce around here.

Side Note: Patrick would like to point out the burp cloth on his shoulder in the video below. He claims he wasn’t really sleeping on the job.
