Boys Oh Boys

Someone should have warned us about the peeing abilities of boys.  I don't even have words to describe my shock or my new found hatred of doing four loads of laundry a day.  Yes, four loads of baby laundry, and given the size of their little clothes, I'm not sure how that is possible.  In the past few days Gavin has also managed to pee on my nice, still new comforter, which of course can only be dry cleaned.  And I should mention that he wasn't on the comforter when he peed, he was on the changing table...still trying to figure out how that works.  He also managed to pee on his face (yes, his own face) yesterday when Grandma Maxim was changing his diaper.

I've asked Google for answers, read countless blogs and advice from parents of boys, but nothing seems to stop these boys from peeing all over the place.  We even put paper towels, clean diapers, wipes, burp clothes, small tarps etc over them when we are changing them but the second we remove it, all hope is lost.  I have made it my new goal to find a way to make it a whole day without them peeing on an outfit (or their face) but I feel like it's a lost cause until they are about six. 

Today I had my four week check up and the doctor was very pleased with how I'm doing.  He also did the same speech that he did when I left the hospital about how I was so lucky to make it to 35weeks and 5days with these little guys.  When he first saw me there was no way he thought I would make it that long.  And then today he adds in, "You got lucky, you shouldn't have made it this far and your babies shouldn't have been this healthy.  You did great and gave the babies the best start to life possible."  Okay, bring on the massive tears from me.  

We did get lucky.  We got lucky that my Doctor listened to me when I told him I thought something was wrong.  We got lucky that he decided to deliver that day.  We got lucky that they only had to be in the hospital for six days.  I was mentally prepared for them to have a much longer hospital stay, especially since the night they were born they kept their doctor up all night because he was so worried about them.

I'm still amazed that Gavin and Logan are here and four weeks old.  I can't get over how cute they are and I am just so in love with them, it's a wonderful feeling.  It's been a crazy four weeks but I wouldn't change anything, well except for maybe the 10 day hospital stay.  I can honestly say that I have loved every moment of it, even the lack of sleep, the late night feedings and all of the excessive peeing.
