Life as a series of naps






WHEW! It has been a while since I last posted anything (2 weeks I think). And a lot has been going on. This past week we had a changing of the guard with my mom leaving and Kristen's mom coming into town to help us out (yes, we still need a good bit of help; I thought the babies would be feeding themselves by now...apparently not). With that said, we had 3 nights on our own to make this work. It was a long three nights! Combined with work, there was not a lot of sleep to be had (for either of us). We would go to bed around 10 for an hour, feed, go back to bed for a couple of hours, feed, and then I would stay up (this was at around 4:30 or so) and start making bottles before heading to work or helping with the next feeding before heading to work. I am spent just thinking about it! It did show us that we can do this if we have to, and that we can keep three babies alive, which is always good. But it is good to have another set of hands around.

Other highlights the last couple of weeks:
-We have successfully taken the babies on a couple of walks, one a walk for cancer. The babies are very socially aware and want to do their part. Being spent after that, they demanded a trip to Starbucks.
-We have ventured to church the last couple of weeks. Luckily, we still have no window shattering screams from Chloe to interrupt the service (wait for it, wait for it....it's coming). The babies did, however, make a fuss as communion was about to be served. Apparently, they were upset that the juice did not include any formula. Crazy babies.
-And last but not least, Nate and Jenni (my brother and sister-in-law) came for a visit. Jenni, and professional photographer, took some great shots of the babies. We can't wait to see those. And it was great having them here. Jack is still talking about Nate singing to him. Good stuff.

Things are good, and we will hopefully start to get a little more sleep in the coming weeks. Unbelievably the babies turn 2 months tomorrow, and we know we have a lot to be thankful for, tired as we are.

Here are a few more pics.
