They go together but are not too much alike. I have 3 words for you for the next year or so: LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS. With two babies and a toddler to take care of, there's no way your home and life will look the same as before. And that's okay! I think our house looked like it had been hit by a tornado for at least 6 months, and it seemed that we alternated between hot dogs and pancakes for dinner for at least a year. So do the things each day that are the most important, and then don't sweat the rest. And I survived some weeks because of a wonderful place called Target. I loved getting out of the house and wandering the aisles, didn't even matter if I got something or not. By the way, I highly recommend a book called "Ready or Not, Here We Come" by Elizabeth Lyons. She is hilarious! May not have the most practical advice, but will make you laugh and see the humor in all the insanity. Anyway, you'll do great! And, I can't stand how cute your boys are!Anne Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146624605292795577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-40768999566733768382008-03-09T12:25:00.000-05:002008-03-09T12:25:00.000-05:00Hey, I'm Anne Marie, a friend of Heather S.'s, and...Hey, I'm Anne Marie, a friend of Heather S.'s, and I stumbled upon your blog, so I hope you don't mind me commenting. I am also a twin mama (I know you've probably met 100 of those in the past few months, all with great advice and stories plus the 1000 people who know someone who had twins in the last century). Anyway, I just had to comment because seeing another set of twins is absolutely delightful! Congratulations!!! They are absolutely adorable. My twins are 2 1/2 years old, and I recently finally wrote my pregnancy, labor, and recovery story on my blog. Feel free to check it out sometime (with all that free time. ha!)www.lovingour4boys.blogspot.com. I posted it February 11, 2008. Those first few months are incredibly draining. I still look back and have no clue how anyone is supposed to take care of two newborn babies, let alone any other kids. Hang in there! It gets better.Anne Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146624605292795577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-77200547292763871802008-03-08T07:34:00.000-06:002008-03-08T07:34:00.000-06:00Cash is wondering why there are two little creatur...Cash is wondering why there are two little creatures in HIS house.

As long as they are gaining weight well, let them sleep. I did that with Isabella and she still managed to gain 2 lb 11 oz in the first month.Jenileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514163951764009338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-43059109659956492802008-03-06T14:58:00.000-06:002008-03-06T14:58:00.000-06:00First of all, I'm amazed you are functioning, let ...First of all, I'm amazed you are functioning, let alone keeping your blog so updated.

I love the booties and I've always had a pair for Simon and he wore them all the time. They are solid cream and I can put a design on the top. I've been debating over turtles or letters. I thought the letters might help to identify them.
