It\u2019s been 4 weeks since the boys were born. In a way it seems like we\u2019ve known them forever, and it\u2019s actually hard to remember life without them.<\/p>\n

Except for a minor bout with Oral Thrush<\/a>, they\u2019ve done very well. The last time I took Max in they weighed him, and he\u2019s up to 7.4 lbs already. I\u2019m sure Andrew has gained at least as much given how much heavier he is.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re still giving us problems sleeping at night. Now it can be both of them, not just Max. They just seem to need more attention in the evening and over night, and don\u2019t really want to sleep. Even as I type this now Max is giving me is crazy eye look while frantically waving his hands. For me the nights have not been so bad because Brenda is doing all of the overnight work so that I can get up early and get to work. But that\u2019s really starting to take a toll on her. On the weekends I do more to help out with the overnight, but that still leaves 5 days in a row for her.<\/p>\n

This week we\u2019re going to be interviewing some Nannies that are being pre-screened by an agency for us. That should make the search a lot quicker and we hope to have somebody here within 2 weeks or so, but it\u2019s too early to say. For now Brenda\u2019s mom Jane and her sister Toni are switching off days during the week to help out as much as they can. But we know this is not a long term solution.<\/p>\n

Brenda has been doing very well given all that she has taken on this week. This is the first week that she had several days in a row with the boys by herself, as well as doing the overnight by herself. By the end of the week she was pretty beat but held it together just fine. Not that I ever had any doubt, but she\u2019s really a great mom and the boys are very lucky to have her.<\/p>\n

This was my first week back to the office full time, and all went well. Although I wouldn\u2019t mind staying home with the boys 24\/7, I didn\u2019t mind going back either. The 4 weeks off was very good for me, even if it did leave a mountain of work to come back to. I feel like my head is in a better place now then it was when I left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
