A day in the life of twins

Well, the girls think nighttime is to be awake. UGH!! It is a good thing mom isn't working right now. Dad is trying to help at night but he really is a sound sleeper with his CPAP machine on. Last night the girls slept more than the night before. We are trying to keep them up during the day. It seemed to help a little but just like when they were in the womb from 12-4 they think it is party time. This time they have invited their parents, which we love but would like some sleep too!!! :) They have both gained weight since coming home from the hospital. Baylee will be tested one more time tomorrow for the last staph infection to be gone. She had one lingering but it should show up negative tomorrow. Amelia's has still stayed negative. The pediatric home nurse will be coming to access the girls tomorrow to do the tests and weights. No fevers to report, thank goodness. They do not like having their temps taken, but we only have 3 days left of that. It seems all is going well. I am surprised at myself that I am not more tired. I do have to admit, which Tony would agree, I am a bit crabbier. I will adjust, just like the girls will eventually start sleeping at night instead of the day. It will just take time. Tony has went back to work and wishing he was at home with the girls. He calls more than he used to, which was only 3 times before now he has doubled that. It is rather endearing, he is such a nervous dad. He wants all of us to be ok. Which we are. He tries hard to get everything perfect, mom says to relax the diaper sometimes goes on crooked in the middle of the night. Just the other day mom put a diaper on Baylee around 1 in the morning and by 1:15 she was screaming because mom didn't have it covering her butt completely and let's just say mom had some cleaning up to do. Everyone makes mistakes, the good thing about it is, they make great stories and the kids will never remember it. Two babies are a lot of work and I can't imagine what the women who have triplets, quads, quints, and up do. I would go insane. They must have around the clock help. The girls are currently sleeping at the same time, YEAH!!! Mom is going to eat lunch and then the three of us are venturing out on an errand, hopefully they like their car seats today. I will post some more pictures later.
