Our Kids

So here is what we can expect the girls to be up to this week:

The babies weigh a little over a pound this week. They are growing eyelashes and eyebrows, which will be their main method of communication with us in terms of being happy, unhappy and confused or interested. Just like the internal and external organs, the babies’ facial features will help them survive outside the protective womb. We have to start watching what we say from now on because the babies are listening. If we talk, read, or sing to them, they will be able to hear us.

I am doing okay. Work is really stressful right now and that is draining. Seems like there is too much going on and not enough time to do it all. I am sure that is a side effect of the pregnancy and hormonal changes. I have not felt this overwhelmed in quite some time. I am going to focus on going to my happy place and taking it day by day so that I don’t wear myself out:) I am getting lots of rest and taking care of myself so I know that this is only a temporary feeling of helplessness:)

On a brighter note, I went to the twins garage sale this weekend and really cleaned up. I was able to get a few of the thing that I really needed. I picked up two car seats that are literally brand new with owners manuals and the works. They are just like the ones I picked out from target.com so I was really happy. Now all I need to to is get the stroller that they clip in to. I was also able to get a “tot lock” which is recommended for twins, it is a portable high chair that clips to the counter or table. I got a bassinet with a vibrate feature and 4 snow suits. Two are for next year and two are for newborns. So we should be set for when we leave the hospital! Even if its snowing.

All for now, talk to you all soon.
