This week Dan is traveling for his job. He is at a beach resort in Palm Beach, FL (tough life!) getting Yellow Dog's name out into the market in person. He is doing great so far, meeting lots of people and is current enjoying a cigar in the seaside cigar bar after a hard days work. He will then go to sleep in a huge fluffy hotel bed where no babies will awaken him in the middle of the night. I'm not bitter... really.
Anyway, I just wanted to comment about being along with my girls. It's honestly not bad. We were both worried about how it would go, but its turning out to be just fine. My mom came to help with bedtime tonight which was AWESOME. The day time has been fine too, just like normal- except Daddy does not walk in the door at 5:15 to cute babies with cereal all over their faces. It's actually a little empowering to be able to be independent with them. I'm not saying I want to do it alone, but its really challenging with two infants and I'm getting it done! Hopefully tomorrow is another good day, and one day closer to my love coming home.

Month 4
Month 4 was a blur of sleep training and feeding with the most exciting part being the beginning of feeding solids. We started with rice cereal and then transitioned to oatmeal cereal. They LOVE the oatmeal and took to solids really well! They have pretty much slept through the night since the introduction of solids which is great for us. I also made a huge supply of my own babyfood with my babyfood maker. The Babycook is an appliance that steams and purees all in the same appliance. So handy!
365 days later...
This picture was our babies, exactly one year ago today. We were in the doctor's office when we learned the very exciting news that we would be having not one, but TWO babies!!! What an experience! Dan screamed, I almost fainted. We immediately called my mom who was driving at the time and she almost drove off the road! It was truly unbelievable.
We have come so far, through a very difficult and uncomfortable pregnancy, and many many many (yawn) sleepless nights.
Now our sweet girls look like this and they couldn't be cuter or more fun (they are happily enjoying sweet potatoes for the first time)
