We are enjoying the girls so much. The time is flying by and I find myself so sad at how fast they are changing. It is normal I know. We said we were done after them, and I know Anthony probably is. Secretly, I hope we are not. YES! I am officially crazy. This has been the easiest recovery etc. I am realizing why big families have more kids. It is so much easier when the kids are older. The kids can be responsible for themselves with a little structure and it just doesn't take as much out of me. We always said 6 so maybe? Either way, it won't be for months down the road Lord willing for now we are soaking in the girls.
When you weigh 5 lbs or less you can share a swing.
Recovering from a C Section is always harder. I wish I would have had the energy to take more pictures of them. I just don't and I try but they scream for milk. The disadvantages of doing it yourself. I did take a few though.
Annalise's Feet and legs. The thing I love about newborns. Their legs are feet are so tiny and wrinkly but so cute.
Daphne's feet and legs. Her poor little feet are so bruised from being poked. She was still being poked this week for jaundice. I swear if it could happen to a newborn this poor girl has been through it. She is such a trooper though.
Everything still drowns them including their swaddle blankets. We could probably cut them in fourths and still have plenty to go around each one of them.
Since me doing newborn photos was going to be near impossible, we went to our favorite local photographer to do them. Lilliana wanted rollers in her hair for them. She looked like Shirley Temple.
Meg is a saint and for that I am grateful. She let the kids play with whatever at her studio and was so patient with the girls. We love her and are always so grateful for what she does. While I am capable of taking photos, Meg just has an immense amount of talent that makes for our pictures to always be special. I am so thankful for her.
We also have the traditional photo of Anthony holding the babies and playing video games. We have it with every child so the twins of course were no exception.
I have a hard time keeping the kids from constantly touching them and waking them up. They love them especially Ari. I frequently come in the living room to him talking to them and touching their hands. He loves their little fingers. He says, "They are sooo cute!"
Anthony went back to work on Thursday so I figured it was time to figure out how to tandem carry these two. For our first time ever wrapping with a woven and two. We did pretty good. They would have stayed there for hours had I let them. They needed to eat though. Needless to say we will be utilizing this a lot in the coming weeks.
We are doing well and that is the best part. I do wish time would slow down just a bit. I love the newborn stage and it is flying by.
