A Good Day

Today was a good day, and a bit busy!

First things first, the most important thing is that the babies are growing. Tomorrow they will be 2 weeks old and Sawyer has broke 5 pounds and is back up to her birth weight of 5.1 oz! YAY...Rylee has also gained another ounce and is up to 5.10 oz, just 5 oz from her birth weight. So we don't have to supplement with formula, but we are going to start adding an ounce of expressed milk after two feedings a day and keep at the 3 hour feeding schedule. It is a lot to manage, but it's working and I know temporary so for now I just say Moo! Our next weight check is Thursday.

Another event today was to have the dead tree in our yard taken down. This is the first tree on our place that we've hired out, and after watching the process and how unstable that tree was, I'm very glad we did and that we did it before winter and the big winds hit! It was amazing to watch the crew of 5 work, they were here, set-up, and cleaned up in an hour....WOW!

The trickiest part seemed to be getting the big bucket truck into position

Topping the tree without it falling into the septic drain field was tough, but they handled it well and were impressive to watch

To finish off the day, Cass and I took advantage of me feeling better/stronger and the sunshine to get Ziggy out and about. We were both having a blast and it felt soooo good to be outside!

Whew, what a day! But a good day that we are so very thankful for.
