It's been forever, I know. Sorry. A lot has changed. I'm super tired. My sweet babies will be 3 months old on Sunday. I can't believe that it's been that long since they surprised us with their arrival. I'm still getting to know them- since they are preemies, this newborn phase seems to go on FOREVER. They are just now making eye contact and starting to smile. It came at just the right time. I was beginning to feel like they were just two more appendages instead of tiny unique little people.
We. Are. Exhausted. However, I am not nearly as tired or frazzled as I was when I welcomed Gemma into our world. So much is different about how I parent the twins compared to how I waded through first time motherhood with Gemma. I do not worry nearly as much as I did with Gemma. I'm actively NOT googling things on prematurity and developmental complications (and if you are, please don't tell me what you find- I'm letting our pediatrician let me know what to be worried about if anything). That Google is a dangerous thing... I'm just sayin'.
I go back to work in a month, and I'm both looking forward to finishing out the school year and dreading leaving my babies. They will only be behaving like 2 month old sweeties so they will seem so much younger when I leave than they should. They'll be 4 months old technically but won't be nearly that far along in their development. I'm sure it will be okay- just not looking forward to missing the firsts that I know come around that 3 month age... oh, well. I will have all summer, thankfully.
I had great ambitions for this post and I feel like my writing is choppy and I'm tired so I'm going to cut this short; show some early smiling videos, and just put some pictures on here. We are well, as you can see below. More to come...
Love,
Sarah
