Stearns 3 Update

For the last 2 months, I have been a part of a great twins class called DoubleTalk (http://www.doubletalkfortwins.com/). There were 8 mothers of twins in my class... all with babies between 0-6 months. You can imagine how noisy it could get with 16 babies babbling, crying, screaming... but we actually had a few times when all the babies were quiet! It was a great time to meet other MoMs and to get serious help in topics from sleep (VERY important!) to scheduling to play to travel. I'm sad the class is over, but I'm excited we've decided to keep meeting for play groups!



The twins are growing well now. They finally fit in 0-3 month clothes! :o) They are very aware of everything in their little world. They actually look for me or Mema when they hear our voices! They are starting to recognize each other as well. When I put them near each other, often they will start babbling while looking directly at their brother. They've also started rolling over. At about 1 month, both boys would roll from front to back (that's how much they hated being on their tummies!) Now Adrian is rolling from back to front, which makes getting things done much harder for me since he seems to forget that he can keep rolling, and starts screaming to get off his tummy! Both boys love to sit an interact with people, laughing, babbling, smiling, but they spend a good amount of playtime batting and kicking toys on their gymini.


Lastly, mom (me) is starting to look for part time work. I'm hoping to find something in the evenings that will let me spend all day with the boys, but still get some hours and benefits! Right now I'm looking at Starbucks... we'll see how it all goes.

So it's Easter. I feel like I owe my blog a big catch up... but it's just too overwhelming. Needless to say, the twins have arrived. They were born Feb 3, and today they are 7 weeks old. And what a 7 weeks it has been. :o) But about today...

The boys went to Hillside today. So many people dying to see them. After our first bout with Hillside on Friday, I was so ready by the end of this morning to say "baby? what baby? no, i don't see two!" But maybe that's because my month & half of running on 4-5 hours of sleep is catching up with me. It really hit me yesterday how exhausted I was. But, we continue to pull it together and feed the babies, and try to enjoy the inquisitive people.

Besides church, the boys made their first visit to their great-grandma's house. It was truly inter-generational - their two great-grandma's, their grandparents, mom, and the newborns. Naturally, since they had an audience, they were fussy - by turns! And they continue to be fussy, as I write this line by line between fusses. :o)

So, just like anything I try to do these days, I gotta cut this short and go feed the munchkins. looking forward to more short posts later!

Travels

Well, the travels have finally come to an end. As of last week, I finally made it home - back to CA and my family. I was very nervous to be traveling since my morning sickness had been pretty unpredictable, but count your blessings when you find them! I managed to not only travel without feeling ill, but have been feeling great since I got home. (Or at least the pregnant equivalent of great!) It's been great to see my family and catch up on all the changes in the area in the last 2 years (although my mom's so excited to show me off that she's wearing me out!). I'm looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting their new significant others and little ones that are now attached. It's amazing how much changes in a couple years. So, here I am. Home. Finally. ...at least for another year. :o)
