twins = busy busy busy

wow twins are a lot of work. I mean it feels like a lot for both of us. Stephanie and I wonder how people with more kids ever do it. triplets? quadruplets? HA no way!!!. These two are a handful as it is. 

We are home and alive, sorry blog updates have been minimal. Catching up on sleep. the boys are all out of whack on their sleeping patterns, but i think we are moving in the right direction. Noah still fights sleep pretty hard. A sound machine and some swing action are helping to cut the sleep fighting efforts down by a bit. 

Grandma and grandpa inskeep have been helping us keep the house in order with dishes, and laundry. As well as staying up late and playing after we feed them. All of our friends and neighbors have been bringing us food, which has been huge!. Thank you all so much. 

Please keep praying for bonding and attachment, as well as our own sanity trying to handle two kids and eventually go back to work and house chores. I hope once we are all comfortable with the new situations, a routine will fall into place. 

Some pics from the park this morning:

 

noah is in blue (because noah had an ark, smooth huh!) and ezra is in green. Yes, those are their official colors. We are trying to color coordinate toys, and things we buy so we know whose item is which. But we still often share. 

 

Official weights:
noah: 15.9 lbs
ezra: 13.5 lbs. 

 

Thats all. I think my computer time is about up as I hear stirring & cooing on the baby monitor.

Melissa Bates’s last blog post..Happy Birthday Mom!

Hi there!

Congrats on your beautiful twin boys!

My husband and I returned home from Ethiopia a year ago last April with our twins as well. They were 3-months old when we brought them home. (boy/girl. We also adopted from CHI).

The memory of those first few weeks is a blur. And I want you to know it DOES get easier.

We are now parents to a couple of happy, energetic 17-months old toddlers.
I write because I think we twin parents should stick together. :0)

Also - because we too have a blog. Its private - but I would be more then happy to share with you. As encouragement...as an act of support (from one twin mommy to another!)

Feel free to email me
vchaney@telcomplus.net

if you would like me to add you to our blog invite list. Or if you just need someone who can relate to what your going through. :0)

Congrats again!!!

Yours
Vicki

It is wonderful to see the boys finally home. We enjoyed meeting them in Ethiopia. They are so beautiful! Can't wait to see more pics. Hope your trip went well. Welcome Home :)

Sherry’s last blog post..SUCCESS!!!

Thanks! Yep we already have some of those name bands.

They are beautiful!!!!!! The family I am a nanny for does the same exact color combo for their twin boys!!!! It's hilarious! And if you don't already, get these nifty things that you will use for as long as the boys are in school! We put them on bottles and know exactly who has what and how much they drank. Also great for telling them apart. J/K! http://www.inchbug.com/
