Well, today our sweet little boys are 10 weeks old!! They had a doctor's appointment today and Mitchell weighed 7 lbs. 12 oz. and Parker weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. It's really hard to believe how big they're getting!! Our lives are just absolutely CRAZY!! Kyle and I are totally exhausted!! We are basically in a stupor all day then at night we are in a race against the clock to get dinner made and eaten, clean up kitchen, feed babies, wash bottles and prepare them for night time feedings, get babies bathed, do some (never ending) laundry, and get to bed!! My parents graciously offered for them to spend the night with them last Friday and we jumped on that!! Apparently, most new parents hesitate and worry about letting their babies spend the night away from them, but not us!! What a treat~an uninterrupted full nights sleep...I don't know why all new parents don't jump on that~ha!! We were both way too tired to worry!! In fact, we were in bed by 9:30.
We have been getting out some during the day for my sanity, but I'm thinking that will probably have to stop seeing as how the flu and pneumonia seem to be going around Nashville. Getting out with 2 babies has been quite the challenge!! Carrying one baby in one of those crazy carseat carriers is hard enough much less having 2 plus a diaper bag. I have been getting some really funny looks from people. I went to Walmart last week and of coarse when I got there it started raining. I ended up parking in a spot where someone left a cart. I loaded one of them in the front of the cart and the other in the back. Then I had my diaper bag and 2 bags of returns. I successfully made it in and did my shopping. I am proud to say that I fit 2 car seats, a 24-pack of waters, the large size dreft detergent, 3 packs of diapers, a large thing of refill wipes, some random toiletries, and one bag of returns that they wouldn't take back all in my cart. Can you believe that??? I have also mastered going to the grocery store. I ended up putting one of them in the front of the cart and the other one I took out of the carrier and put him in one of those slings so that i would have room to put groceries in the cart. I am definitely being forced to use some problem solving skills, so that's good!! Anyways, we are just trying to live one day at a time and are ever hopeful for that full nights sleep that we hear will eventually happen; however, we are skeptical!!
Well, I am planning on downloading more pictures tomorrow; although, I have good intentions of doing lots of things that just don't ever get done, so I guess we'll see!! Well, I better wrap this up as it is time to feed these boys again!!

Sounds fun! Glad to see that things are going well and you and Kyle are adjusting. I am sure you are a great mommy!
I am laughing outloud! I got the strangest looks when I would go out during the day! I alternated between pushing the stroller and pulling a cart through the stores and putting one baby in the carseat in the cart...and the other in the front...and then having to pull a cart because nothing would fit. I thought it would get easier when they walked, but now we can't get out as easily because I think it's impossible for the girls to go in the same direction...and now they are in the "meltdown" stage. Whew! It does get easier...and harder! Each stage is so special! You are doing a great job! Their outfits are precious!
