I know, I know... I haven't been keeping up with this blog as I should. Granted, I have been keeping up with the two most adorable babies in greater Birmingham. :)
Alas, the babies are three and a half weeks old and besides being sleep deprived and unbathed, I am so blessed and overjoyed to have them in my life. I am so thankful for friends and family who excuse my smell and have showered so much love on our family these last few weeks.
We are desperately struggling to put TWO infants on ONE eating/sleeping schedule; there are good days and there are bad days, but I know each day draws us closer. Their sweet personalities are starting to shine with Graham our curious and wide-eyed spectator and Evie our sweet and patient lady. They are growing so fast and as of their two week appointment Graham weighed 8 pounds and 5 ounces and Evie was 6 pounds and 11 ounces. I am such a proud mommy!
Graham has finally warmed up to bath time and we started "tub bathing" last week. My precious Evie continues to love every moment of bathing, lotioning, changing outfits and brushing her hair. Unfortunately, I have noticed that her beautiful hair is beginning to recede, and I regret to say that she is indeed losing it. I am so curious to see what color replaces it and can't wait to start putting in the ribbons and bows!
I have learned so many things in my first month of motherhood. I have found that having two swings was not in the least bit a waste of money. I can multi-task FAR more than I ever thought humanly possible. Babies require more clothes washing than an entire football team I am sure. Twins fill up a diaper genie in about 2 days. I have finally had to let go of my incessant need to clean and organize and just let my house fall apart.
God gives you children to teach you so much about yourself. It amazes me what I see in and through them. I have a better understanding of unconditional love. I don't know what my life was like before Evie and Graham and I am daily thankful for them. Being needed by these sweet babies gives me all the purpose and joy I could ever imagine. I really understand why my mother always called us her "heart and soul".
