Three Weeks



We are settling in to a little routine here with these two.  My world revolves around keeping them well fed. It can be frustrating at times because as preemies, they are still learning how to eat. A few times a week they do really well with it and it gives me enough hope to not give up!  

Life has never been so wonderful and so exhausting all at once. These past three weeks have both flown by, and at times dragged on. A friend of ours gave us some sound advice about this dichotomy.  She said that everything with children comes in stages.  There are good parts to each stage and there are difficult parts.  Make sure to enjoy every bit of the good as it will pass, and know that the difficult parts will also pass. Then it's on to new set of challenges and joys. 

So right now we are trying to soak in those moments when their eyes are open and they look up at us in wonder, those warm cuddles on our chests, and the fun of beginning to figure out their unique personalities and temperaments.  Sometimes we still just can't believe they are all ours.

So beautiful and precious!! It will get easier. They will sleep more at night. Are you ready for visitors?

They are so precious! I can't wait to see them! (neither can Tayvee!)

I wish I had some advice...but I am still learning that there will always be hard days. But then a wonderful and easy day comes along and it's the most amazing thing!
