I started writing this post in my mind on multiple occasions. I couldn't bring myself to write it, however, because it's just so damn boring. Here's the gist: Even though it's been almost a month since the babies were born, things are still difficult. 'Nuff said.

| This picture makes me so happy! Samantha, I'm laughing with your 'fro, not at it. |
Parti and Parta were here for three weeks and just left on Saturday. During that time, Parta got over his fear of fragile babies. Somewhat.
Parti spent a lot of time making sure Zachary didn't feel ignored.

Nonna and Pop are here this week to help (pictures to come), and then I'm on my own. Heaven help me.
You can do it! You can do it!! The first few months with twins is HELL (as well as Heaven) and you have already logged one month down! See? One foot in front of the other; one feeding; one nap; one good cry after another. That's how this gets done.
ReplyDeleteSamantha's hair CRACKS me up! It is so epically cute! I have never in my life seen baby hair so amazing.
And Conor makes my heart melt. That is the sweetest little face and tiniest little hand. OH -- how I want to gobble your babies. They are perfect.
And YOU will lick this. You will.
