Just the 3 of Us!

Well the event that I was dreading since the day the girls were born happened on Monday. Daddy had to go back to work! I was so nervous to be alone with the girls. What if they both needed something? How could I help them both? How would I handle feeding and burping both of them? Normally Daddy is there to burp and hand me the next one. Wes on the other hand has never been nervous to be alone with them. He absolutely amazes me with how willing he is to take them both on. When I had to go to a conference from 7 - 2 on August 10th he stayed home with them. My mom had offered several times to come and help him but he insisted that he was fine and not even a little worried about feeding, burping, changing and soothing both girls. He did a great job!

So as August 24th approached I started feeling more and more apprehensive about how I would handle all day, every day with my little ladies. Wes and I were so on the go and we took the girls with us everywhere so we didn't really have them on a napping schedule - whenever they feel asleep was fine. We didn't put them in their beds. The slept in their car seat, swing, bouncy seat, the floor, our arms, etc. I was kicking myself for not having that figured out before he left. We had the nighttime routine down pat but as for napping, not so much. So Monday came and I could not even believe how easy it was! When I tried to lay them down in their cribs for a nap.....they feel right to sleep! It was ridiculous. I was bracing myself for lots of crying and rocking. I literally laid them down and didn't hear another word (well not words, we aren't talking quite yet) from them. They even slept for 2 hours!!!!!! Today is our fourth day and it has been so easy and enjoyable. I was wondering what I got myself into wanting to stay home with them until January, but I am thanking God now that I get this time with them. There have only been a few moments when they are both crying and I do my best to get to them as quickly as possible. They are learning patience a little sooner than if they would not have been twins. All in all, I'm not worried anymore and I am incredibly in love with my girls!
