I've been awake now for 19 hours and I have three more to go before my shift is up. Then I will crash and sleep until I can't sleep anymore! While the boys have both been angels and have cried very little, it's been very labor intensive around here because of all the medicines, feedings, and outfit changings (the diuretics that the boys are on make for lots of wet clothes and unhappy boys!) I fortunately did get a good five hours of sleep in a row last night, thank goodness for grandmas, Kenny and I wouldn't be able to survive without them!!
Why aren't I sleeping between feedings and changings you are probably asking?? Well many who know me well know that I'm a chronic insomniac and have a very difficult time falling asleep and it's only that much harder to fall asleep under the pressure of knowing you only have 45 minutes to an hour before it's time to start all over. But I'm thinking that eventually I'll be so tired that I'll be able to overcome that problem and fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. We shall see, otherwise I may begin to look like a zombie in all the photos.
But are they worth it?? ABSOLUTELY =-)!!!



We are finally "home" home after spending the last few nights at my parents house. All our thoughts of keeping the boys in their nursery or our bedroom in these early days have gone out the window. Since it takes at least two people to feed and change them and those two people can't be the same two people for 24 hours a day and the babies are
extremely immobile due to the monitors and the giant LOUD oxygen monsters, I mean machines (the gray trash can looking thingies in the photo below), we decided to turn the living room into grand central station for the twins. Plenty of couch space for napping and holding babies as well as a tv for keeping the adults sane, and we turned the coffee table and sofa table into changing and feeding stations. Now if we could only come up with a way to keep the babies' tubes, wires, and extension cords from becoming a gigantic tangle on the floor.
