Week 1 & 2 photos

Finally, I managed to come up for air to post photos from week 1 & 2. I'm hoping to get better about posting photos so don't give up on me yet! To see the latest, click here.

It's been a tough couple of weeks, but we are definitely getting the hang of it. Here's what the schedule looks like:

3:00am - first feeding
Right now Mom Mom Cindy is visiting so she meets either me or Mark in the babies room at 3:00 and we feed together for an hour or so. Mark and I have also taken turns doing it solo - not fun at 3:00am!

7:00am - second feeding
Mom Mom Cindy meets one of us back in the baby room for this next feeding. You would think that the 3:00am would be the worst, but I find that the 7:00am feeding is the hardest. I guess that's when the lack of sleep really catches up with you. After this feeding, we move the boys downstairs for the rest of the day. We have 'activity time' for an hour if we can which consists of tummy time on a mat, the swing, bouncy chair or just being held. Once they get drowsy, we move them to our office which is set up with a pack-n-play for naps.

11:00am - third feeding
Ditto from 7:00am. If they are due for baths, we would do it after this feeding most likely

3:00pm - fourth feeding
Ditto... starts to feel like GroundHog day at this point. I might get in a nap after this feeding if I'm lucky

7:00pm - fifth feeding
Mark gets home from work and helps with this feeding. The extra set of hands makes a HUGE difference. We'll try to get food down our throats before this feeding, but inevitably, we eat once the kids go down (around 8:30)

11:00pm - six feeding
Final feeding for the day. After this feeding, we move the boys back upstairs for the night so they can sleep in their cribs and nursery. We make a couple trips to move boys, blankets, clothes, bottles, etc.

And then it all starts again...
