I have not blogged since last Thursday. This is because I am TIRED!!! In no way do I want to minimize what the parents of single babies go through but twins really is a full time job. Just the feeding and diaper changes takes about an hour and we do that every 3 hours. So by the time you finish you only have 2 hours before the process starts again and there are plenty of other things to get done. We have worked out some type of schedule. I cover the late evening feeding at about 11pm and then Andrea handles whatever disaster happens overnight. She will get up and feed at about 3am and then I get up at 6-7am and do the morning feeding while she gets a few more hours of sleep.

The girls have been pretty good except for the late evening. They seem to get all tuned up every night from about 8-11pm. That may be helpful though since they seem to tire themselves out for the start of the overnight. We have started learning their individual nuances and habits. They have a different cry also. Riley wails while Reagan sounds like a bleating goat. Riley sucks the binky angrily and looks like Maggie from the Simpsons TV show. Riley also likes to trick poop. That is where she poops once but saves enough for a second poop minutes after you get done changing her. Several people have said all I talk about is poop but that is one of the things that dominates my days now. Both girls are back at the weights that the docs wanted to see so we do not have to go back to the Dr. for 2 weeks. I am happy about that because every time we go the copay for the insurance is $30 each. For those of you that grew up in Munhal that is $60 every time we take them in.

We had a bunch of visitors today and that was nice for Andrea as she can't get out of the house much yet. So thanks to Pavan, Kevin, Doug and especially Lisa for the yummy peanut butter pie. We are going to try the first overnight at grandma and grandpas house Friday night to get Andrea and I a little break. I know they will be fine but still wonder if we can make it through the night without them. The picture above is their outfits they wore for Christmas. As you can see Reagan thought they were ok but Riley was not impressed.
