Background

On March 29, 2011, we were blessed with the arrival of our beautiful, identical
twin girls. We were very excited for this event, especially since it was
preceded by a 5 week hospital stay for me (and pretty much for Ches, too, since
he spent every night there with me).

Now we are trying to navigate the waters of parenthood. There is no amount
of mental preparation one can do to get ready for a new baby, let alone two
babies! I am creating this blog in order to share the experiences, but more
importantly, as a type of diary to capture all the moments I fear I will forget
if left up to just my brain to remember!

Morning Cuddle

The last two morning have been heavenly! Not only have Papu & Mimi given us an extra shift of sleep (so solid 7 to 8 hours per night), we were peacefully awoken by Robyn bringing the girls in to cuddle with us on the bed. Each morning, we spent an hour huddled close before getting up to start the day. Apparently the girls like to cuddle as much as we do! Those two hours are by far the best hours we have had as a family thus far!

Yesterday, we were also treated to a royal Mediterranean feast prepared by Robyn (Mimi). We had avgolemono, Greek salad, hummus with homemade pita chips, and spanikopita. Everything was absolutely delicious! Our friends, Ben and Marilyn (so, not sure how you spell your name!), met the girls for the first time. I think they fell in love with the girls instantly, but who can blame them! Our girls are just too cute to resist!

Avery had a record three outfit changes in the day due to her pee explosions. Her sister didn't want to be outdone in anything so she granted us with the first major poo in the bath tub. Ches was bathing her when she made the loudest fart (I heard the bubbles in the living room from the guest bathroom). Ches thought a sound that ferocious had to mean something more sinister was awaiting him under her warming cloth, and he was very right. But all in all, an absolutely wonderful day!

Love to all!
