My life with TWINS

OH. Remember that blog I have? I just remembered. WhoopS! How embarrassing! :)
This was drafted long ago. I will post this with just a little bit added!

People always ask me, how is it having twins? So here is the honest truth.

First of all, I have the absolute best partner you can imagine. That is the truth. He helps with EVERYTHING. I can't imagine making this work with two babies without 100% of his support. He helps me so much, he takes care of them so much, and he LOVES his little girls. They are so lucky to have him, although I am sure when they are teenagers they will hate how protective he is. :)

Sleep when the babies sleep. 
Daddy's girls! (5 months)
Secondly, we have the most supportive family and friends. We appreciate every call, text, email, card, gift, gift card, DINNER, everything. You are all so generous and helpful. Of course the most gratitude goes to our parents- they have done so much that I literally cannot list it all. Plus, there are probably so many things that I don't even know about that they have done for us. They have been here for us helping out through the first two rotations for Jason. They have taken turns coming for 5 days at a time for the first few months. Jason and I managed to get through the weekends by ourselves, but we were always ready for the additional help by Sunday night. :)

The girls are perfectly healthy and truly little miracles. When they are fun, they are DOUBLE the fun! Seriously!!! So much smiling, so many things that make us laugh out loud.
But that also means double the diapers, double the crying, and half as likely to get a full night's sleep or get anywhere on time.

(Added later)
Yes, our lives have changed dramatically from our pre-baby times... and we love it! Jason and I are having so much fun with our little family. We are still so blessed with all of the help and support we receive. So thank you! We know we could not do it alone. We thank God, and we thank all of you for answering God's call to help us! Please know that we see you as an instrument of God's blessings to us.

Check out these little girls having a ball while waiting for dinner! They are always making each other laugh! :) And yes, that is a FAKE cough from Kiley.



Stay tuned for an update on what is NEXT!

They are best friends!! 

They love when mommy comes home from work! 

We got very good at holding babies while we eat!
