  • Home Sweet Home

    11:45pm

    As you might have noticed my entries are not only less frequent, but later and later each day. I think this is the most time I’ve ever spent away from my computer.

    By 3pm today we were home safe and sound with the boys. They made the trip while sound asleep so they never even knew we left the hospital. They’re sound asleep right now, but close to getting up for a feeding so I’m keeping this short.

    Brenda had a rough day today. She felt really good this morning but by 10am was  not feeling well and later got sick. That delayed our departure until she felt up to it. From what we can tell it’s mostly the pain medication finally getting to her. While she felt bad most of the day she’s doing better now.

    Brenda’s mom and her sister Toni came over at 4pm to help out with everything. Toni slaved 3 hours over an awesome dinner that we all enjoyed, while grandma helped with the diapers and feedings. It’s amazing how much there is to do when there are two of them.

    We’re still trying to find our rhythm and get them on a schedule, but we’re not quite there yet.  I’m confident we’ll be there sooner then later.

    I didn’t take many photos today, most of them follow.

  • The Yellow Stream

    10:06 pm

    It’s not as if I didn’t expect it to happen at some point, but I didn’t expect it to happen 3 times in the same day.

    Max was kind enough to pee on me 3 times today while changing his diapers. One time he got some really good distance and peed all over the privacy curtain in the room. It almost seems intentional.

    Today we had a full day again with both boys. Over all it went well and the boys and Brenda are adjusting well to breast feeding. Brenda is recovering very well from her surgery but obviously has a way to go yet.

    I know it will get old, but I don’t even mind changing their diapers. Any second I can spend holding them or interacting with them at all seems like quality time. It’s just hard not to get all caught up in them. I guess if I keep getting peed on I may change my opinion on the subject.

    Tomorrow we check out of the hospital at 2pm and then we’re really going to see how hard it is to have two babies at the same time.

    There are a few photos below, and I posted many more on Flickr. Click HERE to see them.

  • Good Times with the Twins Today

    9:08 pm

    Most of the day we were along with the boys today, and it was a good experience. We’re finding we have a lot to learn and we need to learn it fast.

    Brenda made good progress in her recovery and managed to walk a lot further today, in addition to being on her feet a lot more, taking a shower and getting up and down from a chair with one of the babies. So while she’s still in pain she’s a lot better then yesterday.

    Tonight will be the first night I’ll actually go home to sleep and come back early. There’s not much reason for me to stay and I’ll get better rest at home.

    We will be checking out on Friday around 2pm to take the boys home. That is when the real work starts.

    I uploaded a few more photos from today, and you can find those here.

  • Max and Andrew back together again

    Max and Andrew back together again. I’ll have a better picture of the both of them sometime tomorrow. Today was just too crazy.
