Abygail: "My Sisters Are So Cute!"
Jackson: "Uh oh, crying!", "Uh oh, hat!"
Since then it's been a non stop round of feeding and sleeping. I feed them for an hour and a half then they sleep for an hour and a half before the next one is ready to start eating again...it's pretty exhausting - especially at 2am.
We learned very quickly that what we thought was enough supplies for one child did not mean it was enough for 2 children. I sent Jason out a few days after they came home to load us up on receiving blankets - I forgot how many you use a day with just one child! Unfortunately we are filling up the land fills with diapers, diapers and more diapers. I haven't made a decision on whether to cloth diaper them or not...in fact I've made very little decisions at all. We've had moms in town who do all the cooking and cleaning and even taking care of the 2 older ones, so no decision making there. I haven't even decided on whether I can keep breastfeeding them both. So if you call and I don't answer...it's probably because I haven't decided whether to answer it or not :)
How adorable! I am so glad you have some help there with ya'll. It's nice to have some decisions made for you... twins or no twins. :)
ReplyDeleteI love you all! Jackson and Abygail, you are so precious! Caitlyn and Madelyn you are beautiful and are so lucky to have such a wonderful family to welcome you home. I am so sad that I can't be there. Amber and Jason you are doing a wonderful job already, never doubt that! I love you! Please kiss all the kiddos for me.
ReplyDeleteThose little voices were to die for. I think, pick your favorite and breastfeed that one. Maybe you can send the other one to college...
ReplyDeleteOh wait. That's a decision. nevermind. Keep up the good non-decisioning work! Let's be honest, exhaustion and rationale do not go well together anyway.
