It’s been 2 weeks since I gave birth and everyone is doing quite well, including me. The children are growing fast and changing every day. At lest it seems that way! They have all gain about 4 oz. and now each weighs almost a pound. Their eyes are open and their ears have unfolded. They still nurse and sleep quite a bit but they are awake for longer periods of time now. They can roll over, although with their big heads and big bellies it takes a little rocking action before they gain enough momentum to flip!
They have also started to crawl. A few have actually crawled out of bed! The calico somehow ended up over the side and couldn’t get back in. The black one has gotten out twice. I think he’s going to be a handful. In a week or two they will be “toddlers” and things should get really interesting! Once that happens my foster mom will have to keep the door to our room closed so no one gets lost.
My foster parents have been leaving the door propped open so I can come and go but I almost lost that privilege too. One day Peaches showed me this great set of drawers under Mom and Dad’s bed. The drawers are filled with comfy, soft clothing and Peaches knows how to open and close them. I liked the sweatshirt drawer so much I decided to move the babies into it. Unfortunately I did this when Mom took Uma for a walk. Mom was quite surprised when she returned and found the babies bed empty! She quickly found the four of them snuggled comfortably in the sweatshirts. Needless to say, now both Mom and Dad do frequent headcounts and keep a close eye on me!
sierra: awww so cute!
