Three months old!

So we have survived the first three months and I know you are all dying to hear about me. Ok, probably not, but here are some of my thoughts about surviving the first three months with twins.

Neal has played such a large part in taking care of the babies. I need his help, I cannot do it alone. Because of this I am a better mom and more importantly wife. As a matter of fact, I think the babies have brought us closer. We are still in awe that we have created two beautiful human beings.

I never sigh to myself that there is another diaper to change. I enjoy changing diapers. To go even further, we never argue about who is going to change a diaper, we just do it. Wait I cannot lie, sometimes we argue about it, but rarely.

I can survive on a surprisingly little amount of sleep. I am actually more energetic and efficient with less sleep.

I am headed to a new doc to make sure my body (liver) can handle another pregnancy. I think I would regret not having another. I do not feel like our family is complete. Perhaps I am being selfish.

I love just staring at my babies. After my mom leaves and I am alone with them I pick them both up and sing to them. Granted this only lasts about one minute before one or both are crying, but I still do it. I actually dread the day when I cannot hold both of my babies in my arms.

Many moms say they hate the first few months, especially the late night feedings. So far, I have enjoyed them (ok not all of them). There are even nights when the babies cry to eat and I am actually excited to go do it because I miss them. Don't get me wrong, once I start feeding them I usually fall asleep. I wake up about 15 minutes later and look down thinking how fast the babies ate the bottle.

I am a better mom because I work. At the same time I hate being at work, I would much rather be with my babies. Sometimes this little reminder is all I need to remind myself not to take one day with the babies for granted.

Here are some pictures from our walk on this cool day.




Baby posts up next! Hopefully we will have the results of the babies first photo shoot. The McHenry's were nice enough to let us use their yard. Next year we hope to be in our own yard. Of course we could not get Gwen to crack a smile, but she was still beautiful. Grady smiled a ton!
