Haven't been updating like I should, but I honestly haven't been doing too bad!
Weight loss (last 2 weeks) 2.6 lbs, total of 3.8 lbs.
Working out - racquetball once the first week and twice the other (due to not feeling good).
Eating - didn't track but doing well due to my "Quinnie Diet" (i.e. she keeps me too busy to have much time to snack!)
Need to do measurements on Monday to give you updates on inches lost!
Quinnie's Birthday Countdown!

Quinn is 3 months
During the day she eats about 5-6oz every 3-4 hours. She generally gets up once in the middle of the night between 9:30pm and 7am. Generally at about 3:30 but sometimes earlier. Hope to get her sleeping better soon so Mommy can sleep more, but I just can't let her cry very long as she gets so worked up. Owen never got that worked up!
Current stats:
Weight - approximately 11 lbs based on my weighing her!
Height - 22.5" by my measurement
Head circumference - 15.5" by my measurement
Clothing size: 0 - 3 months but getting close to needing next size up
Diaper size: 1
Here are some more cute pics of her!
Looking a little shy
Smiling!
And one with big brother!

Kiddos
Thought I'd give a couple updates on the kiddos!
Quinn
Still a teenie gal. She is drinking about 5 oz of formula every 3.5 - 4 hours (except at night). We are generally going about 6 hours at night before needing to eat and sometimes she doesn't seem all that interested. I might be able to just give her her pacifier and she'd go back to sleep but with getting up at 6:30 every morning and waiting for her to be fed at daycare at 7:30, it makes me nervous that then I'd run late. May have to plan on a week where it is ok and plan to get up at 6 and feed her at 6:30 and then go to school to allow for her to sleep through the night. Might try this at 3 months (about 2 weeks!!).
Other highlights include that she is actually beginning to wake-up happy vs. crying and wanting to eat. She "blew" her first raspberry over the weekend. She loves to watch The Backyardigans with her brother. I presume she like the bright characters and all the singing :)
Owen
He has been amazing us lately. He is doing very good at school. They have notebooks for the kids to write in and the teacher will write on the board. At first, he wouldn't write what they were writing, he just kept writing his name (first and last) over and over again. Now he will write about anything that he sees, but of course he wants to know what it is! He's learned about mixing his primary colors and what colors they make and he knows that adding an S to a word makes more than one :)
He has been a pretty big helper. He likes to help Mommy with laundry, cleaning up dishes, wiping the table and baking. He will also run to get things for Mommy that she needs for Quinn.
The last couple of times I have taken him to the pool, I finally got him to jump from the edge to Mommy (and of course, he wants to do this at the 5ft part with Mommy on her tip toes!). He always has to do a count to a certain number before jumping and he changes it each time. I wonder if my child is the only one that feels the need to count to 30 before jumping? He even does a little dance back and forth while he is counting!
With as great as the kiddos are doing - we still miss having the family around to get to share in all these new things with us. Owen always wants to go see Grandma(s) and Grandpa(s), Uncle Austin and Keira! Right now he gets his cousin Aden confused with his "best friend," Aiden. Can't wait to get to seem my family again and get to meet my new niece in person! Only seen her face-to-face over the webcam once.
