A day in the life...

I guess that our day technically starts at anywhere from 1-3 a.m. when the babies are up to eat. I am looking forward to the night when they can sleep through, but there are still little and need to have that middle of the night feeding. They pretty much wake up at 6 am. That's perfect because Morgan loves on them while I make up his lunch then I start to feed them while he gets ready for work. By the time he leaves I've finished feeding them so we get dressed and go for a walk in the neighborhood. 7 am is the only time all day where it's comfortable to walk outside. The girls love it! The "look" and listen to all the things going on outside.

The rest of the morning is mine to clean up while they take a nap. Although sometimes they don't cooperate so they have to be my helpers.

Midday is a time for me to get down on the floor and play with them. I got to say Pandora has a pretty decent children's radio station. We're working on being on tummies more but they either scream or this happens...

The rest of the day is a mixture of housework, naps, feedings, play time, and about 20 something diaper changes. Oh the amount of diapers we go through, sheesh!!

Of course mommy has to take pictures on a regular basis. It's not easy taking self portraits with twins...but you find a way.

Around 4:45 daddy gets home!! I think Mommy looks forward to daddy coming home as much as the sister's do. I do feel bad though because the late afternoon early evening time is one of the fussiest for them. I had to explain to Morgan, it wasn't him it was just the way with babies. They love their daddy very much.

8:30 means time for bath. Sometimes they love it, other times they hate it. 9:00 is the last meal before bed. Then I read a story, say prayers, swaddle and it's bed time by 9:30. I know they might sleep through the night if I put them to bed at 11, but Morgan and I need that hour and a half just us.

We're getting the hang of this parenting twins things. It's a lot of work but as I'm writing this I've got a baby on each side of me on the couch. There sweet coos and gentle breathing remind me of what a tremendous blessing we have.
