Harsh reality

We're getting a couple of hours of sleep a night. The twins have been super fussy all night for the last 3-4 nights. Trying to catch up during the day but it's not easy with work etc. I've been working half days this week but looking ahead we needed to do something quick or we would go insane. So we're looking at hiring a night nanny to help out. We've got a Brazilian friend of Rosa's lined up to start hopefully on Monday to stay over nights to help Julie.

I really don't know how 2 people with jobs could do this alone. We've got tons of help and are barely staying above water. Fun, fun, fun!

Sleep

Last night the kiddo's decided to sleep from 11:30pm till 3:30...feed for 30', then slept till 7am. It's amazing what some sleep can do for you.

Julie's feeling much better and getting out and walking in the neighborhood for a couple miles a day. Neighbors have been bringing food. Mira is off the biliblanket and both are putting on the weight (about an oz per day). It's all going very smoothly. I'd highly recommend having twins. Haha.

Sunday

So far we're in newborn mode...the twins pretty much sleep 90% of the time. They are nursing every 2-3 hours so the night shift can be pretty rough but we've been able to catch up during the day thanks to all the help we have here. They both are "super suckers" so the nursing is going extremely well (Hoover and Dyson were in the running for names).

They lost a few oz since birth but Mira is now at 5lbs and Max at around 6. Tiny and very cute. Mira had a bit of jaundice so she's on the biliblanket but is looking good.
