Baby's 1st 4th!


Hello Everyone,

Here is a pic of the girls 1st 4th! Wow, it's crazy here at my house. Little sleep and back to back feedings are really getting to me! Girls had another check up and Chloe is up to 7lbs and 8 ozs as of Monday and Caroline is up to 5lbs a nd 10 ozs. WOW, Chloe just feels like a chunky baby, and Caroline just feels so much lighter, but they are both doing well. It's the parents that are going crazy. This is my 1st week at the house with the girls by myself. This is one of the 1st times I've been able do something without the other girls deciding she would like to eat now. I pretty much feed the girls back to back every 2 to 3 hours! I hurry to shower, don't dry hair, maybe put a little makeup on, feed one then the other, that sometimes takes only 1 hour, but not usually, then change the diaper again, burp really good, set Caroline up to help with her reflux. Maybe try to sleep at least an hour between until noon. Next break I eat, next break I wash bottles for the middle of the night feeding so it doesn't take 2 hours, next break I wash some clothes, next break I get to the blog or something else that needs to be done, next break I get dinner ready, next break I try to spend time with Robert, then I feed again ,sleep for and 1 hour, get up all night doing it all over again with maybe 3 hours of sleep in between. Anyway enough about the life I don't have. My children just aren't big enough yet to attempt feeding at the same time. Would work if I had 4 hands!

Anyway, if you call and I don't answer you now know what I'm doing! Now the know that twins are double trouble. Having one right now would seem like a vacation.
