In the Daniel's Den: 3 Months

Another month has passed and the boys are now 3 months old. As with any baby, the first three months are usually the hardest and the same is said to be true about multiples. Hopefully, things will continue to get "easier". We now have a good routine and schedule down. The boys eat at the same times every day starting a 7:00 am. During the day they eat every three hours and they usually start waking up right around feeding time. We also have the eat, play, sleep routine down now. They were so sleepy at first they would eat and usually go right back to sleep. Now after each feeding they like to "play" before going down for a nap. The only feeding that varies in time is the middle of the night feeding when I wait for them to wake me up. Derek feeds them around 11:00 pm before he goes to bed and they are now sleeping a 5-6 hour stretch before waking up to eat again. I can't wait for the day when they start sleeping eight hours straight. Hopefully, it won't be much longer. We follow the Babywise plan. It helps you to set a routine for your baby's day and teach them how to sleep. I used this with Ben and absolutely loved it. This time I actually read the chapter for multiples. I skipped it the first time I read it thinking that doesn't apply to me...ha ha! Goes to show you never know what God has planned for you.

I can't believe how they have grown over the last 3 months. They have all doubled their birth weights!
