Numbers
BABIES
Age:
1 month and 2 days
Weight:
Abigail has gained 12 oz in 2 weeks ~ up to 7 lbs 5 oz!!
Elizabeth has gained even more!! 7 lbs 14 oz!!!!!!!!! She is quite the little Hoover when it comes to nursing--none of that lollygagging around like "little" sister.
Length:
They were both a bit over 21 inches.
Size:
Still in newborn clothing, barely--able to wear some 0-3 month items--preemie is TOO small now.....moving to size 1 diapers in less than a week...
SLEEP
I can occasionally get 4 hours of sleep simultaneously!! and it feels TREMENDOUS!
DIAPERS
We used 540 diapers this first month....that is around 9 diapers/day/baby. Considering their weight, it looks like they will soon be in size 1 diapers! We have around 1000 of them stocked up, so MAYBE we won't be having to run to the store till after the New Year?!?
ME
Despite some people worrying about my "skinnyness" {haha!!}, I am amazingly healthy--and I have lost 35 of the 50 pounds I had gained and able to comfortably button size 16 jeans!!! Considering at least 13 lbs was lost when the babies were born, I am doing JUST fine!
NURSING
about every 2 hours for 20-45 minutes, sometimes more, sometimes less......that's "on demand" for my babies!!
SCHOOL
We are currently in week 11 of 42 scheduled [including breaks]. Caught up and wondering how much of a holiday break should really be taken...

The Mystery of History FREE
MOH vol. II has some free lesson plan samples online!
Thinking it would just be a snipit and knowing I would be ordering later, I hadn't cared to look--but today, I did just to compare to vol I and GUESS WHAT! Not just 1 lesson, but 9 lessons from volume II are in free pdf form! So--you want to try out MOH for 3 weeks? Or stretch it into 6? FREE QUARTER of History!! My guess is that you'll fall for the ease of the curriculum and want to continue with it--but if not, you aren't out any $$! We are planning on adding in historical biographies and fiction for my then-to-be 4th grader and 3rd grader. My kdger will just be around for the reading and possibly an activity.
