The week after my mom left.......

I was so nervous when my mom, dad, and Jami left.  Luckily it was a weekend and I had Jake.  But the coming Monday I would have been on my own with all 3 girls.  I was coming off my pain meds and the babies weren't sleeping well.  I was a mess.  But my ward was awesome and just took care of us.  Jamie lined up people to bring us meals, come over to help me with the twins, and even play dates for Scarlett!  It has been so wonderful to know that we're not alone.   I'm so grateful for the service they provided!  And I know they will continue to support us.  

Scarlett has had to be more independent when I'm tied down with the twins...

I found a hilarious video that shows how to wrap twins in a Moby Wrap - so I tried it and they fit!

Boppy Buddies!

They both make this hilarious face!

They sleep with their eyes open - you can see Siena doing it here.  They also stare at my wide-eyed a lot.

Our bath time routine has gone through many variations.  But I think we've finally figured out how to do it the most efficiently.  Once I used the yellow foam on the shower floor and they took a shower with me.

Scarlett at the park with Jamie.  "higher!"

Scarlett knows their names...

The Pediatrician recommended we don't go to church for 2 months.  When we've gone out with the girls we've been able to keep them covered but she said that most likely at church everyone will want to look/hold them and she didn't think they were ready for that.  So the ward has brought me the Sacrament.  It has been so nice to have the spirit in our home and feel close to the Savior.

Someone made us a large homemade french bread loaf.  Scarlett saw it on the table and said "big hot dog!"

If the twins are both crying, Jake noticed one will pause for a second so she staggers their cries.  That was they are both heard (and drive their mommy crazy!)  Jaide seems to be more laid back.  She lets Siena nurse first and "let down" the milk.  Siena really likes her binky and usually wakes up first to eat.  There was one day they were yelling at me - not even crying - the next day Jaide's voice was all horse.

Both girls slept four hours on June 9th.  It was a momentous occasion!

When I nurse them at night I eat chocolate in the dark.  It makes me feel better.  And if I feel guilty about it I just remind myself I need 3000 Calories a day to nurse twins!  Woot woot!!!
