Week Recap

Another week another 100 diaper's changed but I did get more smiles as well. I am just going to summarize the week like I did in the last post since I hear someone in the other room squirming. The babies' mom went to the store so I am all alone with both my little girls. They are suppose to be sleeping but we will see how long I get into this post before I have to go and see which one is fuzzing.

• I went to work on Monday as a first time dad and it was tough.
• I worked from home a couple of other days thanks to my understanding boss.
• There were a couple of really rough nights when the girls would eat and then want to just hang out in the middle of the night. It was fine until we parents started nodding off.
• Both the girls decided to poop on their mom on the same day. I thought it was pretty funny but their mother didn't.
• We officially hate Huggies preemie diapers. 
• We officially like Pamper's Swaddlers diapers!
• Even though times have been super busy we have managed to still do normal stuff like read, watch netflix and read magazines. 
• On Friday we took our first official family walk around the neighborhood. The girls slept through the outing but they seemed content in the stroller.
• They put out a mobile speedometer deal in our neighborhood and I decided to see how fast it would clock me at when I ran past it. I tried it about three times and I clocked in at 15 MPH!
• I was asked to go play soccer in the town we used to live and I was really looking forward to it but the girls had a different idea, stay up really late at night so daddy wouldn't play. No biggie we all slept and it was grand!
• We officially love Playtex Drop-Ins. 
• We also love the little Newborn Gift Set by Playtex a life saver, especially when we you don't know you are not feeding your kids enough and have to feed them formula for a day or two.
• I learned that trying to figure out a babies schedule is pretty complicated but as long as you are flexible the babies will be happy.
• This a tip for all fathers out there, the babies really like to be close to their mothers. One of my little girls will stay awake for extended periods of time until her mom cuddles with her for a minute or two then she will fall asleep.
• This same little girl stayed awake for about four hours with dad fighting the sleep, so dads don't have the magic touch, maybe when they are older.
• Having your mother-in-law stay the night to let you sleep so that you can function at the work the next day is pretty much amazing!
• Having your mother-in-law get asked how the twins are doing by the toll operator is hilarious but awesome at the same time.
• Letting your wife know how much you love her on a daily basis and her telling you the same back makes you love life even more.
• Having two little girls wide awake looking around at the same time just makes you wonder how amazing God is for creating us.
• Having your wife help you in your fantasy football draft while you take care of some unwanted visitors pretty much let's you know that she still wants you to do "man" stuff even with all the new girl power in the house.
• Taking naps during the day while you are at home reminds you of late nights in college. I wish we could take naps at work.
• Setting a date for when your babies will be baptized is really amazing.
• Knowing that your sister-in-law is coming to town to meet her nieces, priceless!
• Knowing your mom is coming to town and staying a while, priceless!

Okay more later...baby is waking up!
