Back to Reality

Well, now we're on our own again! Well - kind of. :) All of my family has gone back home now so Ryan and I get to do all the night feedings by ourselves again. Ryan is not too excited about this as he loves his sleep! Well, I do too....but I think I'm just getting used to being up all the time. It was such a treat to have extra hands to help with the night feedings though. It would go by much quicker. But my sister left this morning and then 2 women from church came to help today which was so nice. They were a big help and it was fun to chat with people that I don't always get to talk to and learn from. All of the new scheduled help will be so fun - and it really is such a blessing. The home health care nurse came today and all the girls are now over 8 lbs! I couldn't believe it but Emily and Hailey weighed 7 lbs 8.5 oz last week...and then this week I thought for sure one of them would out weigh the other but they BOTH weighed 8 lbs 1/2 oz!!!! They are identical even to the half ounce! Who does that? :) Addy now weighs 8 lbs 11 oz so they are getting closer in weight!
These days just fly by though. Between feedings, laundry, rocking crying babies, rotating holding crying babies, bath time, etc....the days just go by so fast! It's 5:30 now and I can't wait for Ryan to come home - but I feel like it should be 11 a.m. :)
Here's a picture of how I do it when I need to soothe 3 babies at once. :) It IS possible! :) (And yes, there are 3 babies in that picture. You can't see Addison.) :) And then there's a pic of Addison in the tub (sink) :)
