Starting to feel more normal....

We are starting to regain some bit of normalcy in our lives! I devised a brilliant plan to get more sleep! Adam and I have both been getting up at the two middle of the night feedings and we each feed a baby. As a result we usually don't get more than a 2 hour stretch (3 if we are lucky). So now, for example, I will start out sleeping upstairs (where its nice and quiet). Adam will take the first feeding and feed both babies. So I can sleep from like 11 til 4. Then I take the 4:00 feeding and we switch beds. That way Adam gets to sleep from about 1 til morning and only has to get up to switch beds. I usually have to wake up at some point in my long stretch to pump a little. I am still breastfeeding. Totally hating the pumping but I am going to hang in there as long as I can! A babysitter/nanny fell into our lap and she starts Tuesday. She will come 2 days a week for a half day and play with Harrison, help me with feedings, diapers, etc. It will be a huge help! Harrison is excited too. Tonight Adam and I are going to get out for a few hours and go to dinner. Hayley, Kim, and Gary are coming over to babysit. The babies are adorable, not too much to report. Henry is getting so big! He is a thick little boy! They seem to have completely different body types. We finally received the sectional for the deck via UPS. It came in like 18 boxes. Poor Adam! The weather last night and this morning was amazing so we have been hanging out there a lot. I am really looking forward to the nice weather, lots of time spent on the deck, playing outside, and walks to the park with my 3 boys!
