Where to begin??? I guess I need to start with a photo because many of you have not seen Luke and Rebecca since their hospital photos.
Are they beautiful or what ????? I truly am a blessed woman. Rebecca is in her girly pink and purple, and Luke is our little baldy. The photo with Sean is so funny because he made that face when Sean screamed "Cheese!!!" for the picture.
Our last few weeks in a nutshell.....
The first 2 weeks were pretty calm because the twins slept ALOT. It fooled me into thinking that I was just a seasoned mom who was up to the task. Boy was I misinformed because on week 3 they woke up! Don't get me wrong, the twins are not bad babies. In fact, when people ask I say that if either of them were a single they would be an easy baby...but when they gang up on you-look out. The lack of down time is probably the hardest thing to adjust to, but I have always been one to stay busy....it is just now I have no choice.
Both babies are eating well and sleeping much better. Luke wakes up frequently crying needing to burp or spit up, but after he gets it out seems to do ok. Sweet Rebecca just likes to be held and look around. She is so inquisitive already...I can tell :)
Jacob has jumped right into the big brother role and has been such a big help to me around the hosue. Sean loves is little brother and sister, but is having a harder time adjusting to "sharing mommy." Mattie (our dog) just tries to find a quiet place to nap....good luck!
2009 has just started so wonderfully and our family feels so blessed to be healthy and surrounded by such good friends who have really taken care of us with meals, phone calls and outings for the boys. Thank you just does not express our gratitude.
I am hoping that these quiet times will be more frequest and I am going to post at least once a week, even if it is just a short note and photos.
God Bless!
