My first blog...

I've decided to start blogging.  I have written journals in the past but they never seemed to last.  I always got distracted with something else and the journal got dropped to the bottom of my to-do list.  I'm doing this for all of my friends and family to keep everyone up to date on our lives as well as for some quiet therapy for myself! 

Over the past several months I've started following several blogs online from other twin Mama's and love how they are able to capture the normal day to day activities and dramas by writing them down...

It's hard to believe but tomorrow the twins will be 16 weeks old!  In some ways it seems as though the time has flown by and in other ways it seems like every day drags by.  Alot of this depends on the mood in the house and how well our kiddos are behaving at the current moment.  The babies have been battling ear infections now for the past 14 days...  They were started on Amoxicillin but that didn't knock it out so now they're on Omnicef.  Hopefully that'll do the trick.  Carter has ear infections in both ears and Caroline has one in her right ear.  It's funny, you can definitely tell the difference between boys in girls in this house...  Carter (throughout most of being sick) has been our happy, cooing child while Caroline has fussed like no one's business!  She is definitely the diva of the house!

Chris and I are still getting adjusted to being parents of 3 kids.  Whew!  What an adjustment it's been!  Most days feel like we're on a hamster wheel and can't get off or that it's Groundhog day all over again...  However, we've started to notice that there are beginning to be moments of calm in our house.  Like right now as I sit on the couch with my 2nd cup of coffee, the twins are napping in their swings and Chris and Alex are installing a ceiling fan in the nursery...  A moment of calm we'll have to try and remember.  It's all to easy to let these moments pass us by and only see the hamster wheel.
