So...Who needs Sleep?

Adjusting is a big word in our house right now, as we are all adjusting to having two beautiful babies and very little sleep. The "mommy" gear has kicked in and as a friend once said, "You will not die from lack of sleep". Although, there are moments I feel this statement is debatable.

James and Maggie are still adjusting to life at home and are making great strides (some of them backwards) to get on a schedule. It is definitely their schedule, but to them it works. We are only getting up two times during the night, but with two babies the up time is almost equivalent to the down time. Maybe after some training we can enter several events in the "Baby Olympics"...diaper changing, dodge the spray, or double time feeding.

All kidding aside, we would not change anything...this is an adjustment, but one that is a true blessing.

We went to the Dr for the first checkup on August 25th and we had gained some weight since leaving the hospital. Yea!! Weight gain at this point in there lives is a good thing. The Pediatrician advised us we could begin tummy time to help build strength. We will have to return to the Dr on Thursday August 28th for another weight check...the more they gain the better.

We introduced tummy time on August 26th and Maggie loved it. As you can see, it really allowed her to catch up on her beauty sleep. James is still debating the whole tummy time exercise, but I am sure he will grow to enjoy it.
