First night at home

We survived the first night at home with both girls! It was very stressful for me to come home and try to unpack and get everything organized while also trying to take care of the girls. I feel much better this morning after spending several hours last night and this morning while they were sleeping putting things away and getting the nursery more organized. And, luckily my parents were here with a lovely meal, so at least we got to eat.

It is going to be challenging to take care of two babies. They need to eat every three hours now and the feedings (including changing and cuddling) take at least an hour and a half, so that only leaves about an hour or so to sleep at a time. Luckily there are two of us, so we can pretty much switch off every other feeding when it works.

Last night both of them woke up to be fed at the same time and were both howling. I had to wake Josh up to feed one while I fed one, too. I guess twins have to get used to waiting their turn, but it's hard to listen to them crying when I can't do anything about it.

This afternoon Josh needs to go run some errands, so I'll be alone with the babies for the first time. Also, we'll need to give them a bath for the first time at home sometime today. There will be lots of firsts happening from now on, I think!

Well, it's almost time for the next feeding. When I find the camera, I'll post some new pictures.
