Has it been a month already! Time seems to go by a little faster with 2 screaming infants and sleep deprivation! The girls are growing so fast and we are anxious to see how much they weigh now! Of course, they are looking different every day to me. It is so funny with these girls, they change like the wind. One night Madison will sleep well and McKinley will scream, and the next night it will be the other way around. Some nights it has been both of them screaming....gas is not fun with two infants! We have had a bit of a night and day mix up I believe, so we are trying to get the girls to stay awake a little more during the day. I also have developed mastitis......ouch! I am still trying to nurse both girls, which works out well when they are on the same schedule, but I have to admit it is very exhausting. We are debating on whether to formula feed. I haven't had a full night sleep or more than 3 hours of sleep since they were born. They both keep their eyes open a little more and of course are at the stage when they try to focus on something their eyes cross. Totally freaks me out and makes me laugh at the same time. They both love their bath time and hate having their diaper changed. They don't really care to sleep in their crib, which we try every day....instead, they like to sleep in their bouncy chairs. Hey, whatever works right now! They love to ride in the car, until we stop. They both love it outdoors, especially Madison. We were able to go to the tennis courts and drop big sister off one day a couple of weeks ago. I am excited about the weather clearing up, I think we will be outside a lot! This week we are trying to wing the twins with no moms and so far it has been okay. The first night went well, they slept through the night only waking up to eat! Whoo-hoo! That is a first! Anyway, just a little update on the girls.
Big sister is doing well. She has her moments. I can't believe how much she has grown and the sentences she makes. It just blows me away! This past weekend was my mother-in-law's birthday and we celebrated here at the house. Jason and Nat got to come down with little Eli. Sometimes I am not sure what Hannah is thinking about her new sisters. Overall...she is pretty sweet to them. She loves to take care of her babies like mommy takes care of her sisters. She feeds, dresses, burps them and they even go to time out!
Our girls are such sweet blessings. We are so thankful for their health and just to be blessed as a family. It has been rough with the twins this first month, but I just know it will get better. I have to keep telling myself and letting the Lord just take control of this situation and persevere. This is truley been a test of patience for Chad and I both. Keep us in your prayers, especially the twins. They are healthy but they are having such a hard time letting us soothe them. Thanks again to everyone for your prayers and encouragement!
I have to do these postings in segments, so I will post pictures soon!
