Cold Season

Well I hate to say it but both of our little angels have a cold. It is the most terrible thing ever. Gabriella was the only sick one for a couple of days but now Isabella has it too. Gabriella seems to be getting over hers but Isabella has just began. I wish they knew how to blow their nose and spit lugies (spelling??). It would make them feel so much better. Some good news though for the past 4 or 5 nights one baby has slept though the whole night!!!! They switch off though, Isabella slept all night last night but the night before Gabriella slept all night. So hopefully we will get it together soon and both of them will sleep through the night. Keep your fingers crossed. Also the girls went to Athens this weekend for their first college visit...HA HA. Actually Eric and I went to the UGA Football Gala and the girls came along with us. My mom and Laurie stayed in the hotel room with the girls while we went to the banquet. It was a nice trip and we had a great time. I cannot wait to take them again when the weather is warm so we can actually take them around campus and around downtown.

Long Night

I hate to say it but I think the girls are getting my snotty nose! Yesterday Sunny came over and kept both girls while I had to go to Atlanta for a mediation that took forever. I think that is the longest I have been away from them since they were born. I was so glad when I got back home to see them. A little side note Sunny is an awesome babysitter!!! She comes highly recommended from both Gabriella and Isabella. O.k. back to yesterday by later in the evening Gabriella was sounding pretty snotty and she had this pitiful little cough but seemed to be sleeping just fine. However, I woke her up for her last feeding at about 10:00 PM and she would never go back to sleep. She was so sleepy but could not ever get comfortable enough to sleep so I ended up sleeping sitting up in the bed with her on my chest. Now, before I get hate mail I know you are not suppose to do this but their was no other way she would sleep. Every time I laid her down in her cocoon she would cough and let me assure you I did not sleep a wink with her on my chest because I was so scared I would fall asleep and drop her! She seems to be doing a little better this morning but we are going to go ahead and make an appointment at the doctors office just to make sure. Eric and I got to go to the hospital last night to see Jamie and Nick White's new addition, Judah. He was so precious!!! He will be the perfect little protector for the girls as they get older. We are so blessed to have such awesome friends like Jamie and Nick and it was truly a blessing to have Jamie to go through pregnancy with. I am sure there will be plenty of pictures of the three of them on the blog before you know it! Keep Jamie, Nick and Judah in your prayers and pray they will get to come home from the hospital healthy and soon!

We survived!!!

Last week was very interesting! Eric was out of town the whole week for work, so me and the girls packed our bags and went to stay with Grammies for the week. Thank the Lord for Moms and Dads. My Mom and Dad were the biggest help this week. Me and my Mom both begin to get a little snotty later in the week so my Dad actually helped me pull some night duty and he changed a diaper!!! We had a pretty good week some nights were a little rough and both girls had some really smelly gas! You would be surprised the stink that comes out of those little ones. I think that my parents are probably having withdrawals this week because the girls are not there any more but maybe not they might just be enjoying their uninterrupted sleep. Eric was so excited to see them when he got home but they had changed so much. They are so alert now and they have a new sound every day. It is truly amazing! I had hats on both of them when he got home and at first he could not tell which one was which. So, the more weight they gain the more they begin to look like each other.

1 Month Old

Taking a Bath, Gabriella ready to punch Isabella at any second!



Gabriella, thinking "What the crap is this thing on my head??"

It seems unbelievable that the girls are already one month old!! They are getting more and more beautiful as each day passes. They were very excited when their Dad got home and Wednesday and they had a great day at Grammies house for Thanksgiving. Their two littlest cousins Macie and Ella sang to them and patted them on the head. Next Thanksgiving and Christmas is going to be a blast with all of the little children I cannot wait. Both girls are continuing to grow each day and are getting more and more of a personality as the days go by. They had another bath this week and they got to try on their bows from cousin Mandi. They are adorable and they told me they would love for cousin Mandi to make some more!! Their Dad has to go out of town again this week so the girls are going to have withdrawals again (so is Daddy) but he will be back soon thank goodness. It is hard trying to take care of the girls without Eric that is for sure. I am going to include some new pictures and a link to look at all the pictures I have taken so far. Hope you enjoy!!

Here is the Link with the rest of the photos from this month. Enjoy!!

Mom home alone

Eric went out of town last night and he is gone until Wednesday so this is officially the first time I have been home alone with the babies for an extended time!! Of course my Mom stayed the night last night so I had some help then. Thank goodness, because both babies had some really bad gas so it was a rather long night. But once they were asleep both sleep until about 5:00 AM and then went back to sleep until around 8:00 AM. They are the sweetest things ever but it is really hard to try to feed one while the other one screams. It makes you feel so helpless sometimes. Hopefully they will have no memory of waiting for their sister to get through eating while screaming at the top of their lungs. Yesterday we were going to try and take the girls to church, but their feeding schedule totally did not work out. They were going to end up needing to eat as soon as we got to church so we decided to wait until next week or either after Thanksgiving. Plus, they are both so little still and it is so cold outside. However, we did go to Grammies and Pops' (my mom and dad) house yesterday where they were cuddled by many family members and where they slept most of the time. Then wouldn't you know as soon as we got home they did not want any part of sleeping at all!!! We hope to have many visitors this week as I will need help managing them by myself most of the day. I am going to include a picture of their really cute outfits from yesterday, a nice resting place Gabby found, and an adorable picture of Odell loving on Isabella just a few minutes ago!

Baby Girls

This is us after our bath. We are squeaky clean and Dad fixed our hair so nice. (Izzy on Left, Gabby on Right)

The girls are doing wonderful! We gave them their first bath this week and they were the cutest things I have ever seen. Both girls seemed to enjoy the bath and just laid back and relaxed. Eric fixed their hair once they were out of the tub. He tried to spike both girls hair up and Gabby looked like she had a little Mohawk. The girls have been sleeping better too. I have only been having to get up and feed them one time during the night which has been great because I am actually sleeping in my bed. The twins also got to meet their cousins Macie and Ella this past weekend. It might be the cutest thing you have ever seen. Macie who turned two on Tuesday just wants to hold them the whole time and tell you their names. If they go to sleep she will scream at them to wake up. They are all going to have so much fun growing up together. We have 4 little Pruitt/Labbe girls under the age of 3.

Two Little Piggies

We went to the doctor this morning and both girls have surpassed their birth weight!!! Gabriella who weighed 6lbs 13.3 oz at birth now weighs 7lbs 3 oz and Isabella who weighed 6lbs 1 oz at birth now weighs 6lbs 9.75 oz! We are super excited because that means we do not have to go to the doctor again until their 2 month visit Yipee!!! They have both also grown a half an inch. They are doing just wonderful. Now if they could just sleep a little bit longer we would be in business.
