Life with the twins

Last week my friend Danette was in town with her little girl, Carly, who is Aaralyn's age, and her little boy, Sam, who is not even two months older than our babies. We had to get a picture of them together. Sam wasn't too happy about being put down for the picture, but it was fun to see the difference in size between them!

This past week has been so busy, and I don't even know what I've been doing... I guess that's expected with 3 kids. Last Friday Jack had his circumcision done, so we got to see what they both weighed. Jack was 7 lbs 3 oz and Aniston was 6 lbs 11 oz! I couldn't believe that Jack weighed so much!!! He IS getting to be chubbier though! It's crazy that he's a half a pound more than Aniston already!

Saturday we went up to Cedar for a baptism. It was Dave's brother's little boy. It was fun to see some of his family that hadn't seen the babies yet.

Sunday we ate dinner at my parent's house, which isn't unusual, but now it seems to be more of an ordeal just to get out of the house.

Today I had to run to Wal-Mart to get some diapers and man, I don't know how people do it with more than 3 little kids. The babies just slept the whole time, but it's really hard shopping by myself because I can only take the stroller, which doesn't hold much, and the basket on the stroller isn't very accessible once both babies are in there. Besides trying to fit stuff into the stroller with no space, unfortunately there isn't space to put Aaralyn in the stroller too... which means I have to constantly watch where she is and remind her to hold on to the side of the stroller. I don't mind going out by myself like this, but it does take a lot longer!

Both of the babies are doing well. I am trying to keep them on a schedule so I have time to do things other than just feeding them all day, and sometimes it goes how I want and other times they have a schedule of their own! Sometimes I wonder how long I will be able to keep feeding both of them because the past couple days they have seemed to eat ALL DAY LONG! It seems like they will eat evey hour and a half! I hope it's just a growth spurt, rather than them not getting full.

In a few days I have my own doctor's appointment, which means that I should be clear to start working out again! Yeah! I have been ready for that since about a week after having them, but I guess it gave me a good excuse not to do anything yet. I am happy to say that I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight (well, first doctor's visit- at 6 weeks), but I would still like to get into shape and lose another 5-7 pounds. Anyone wanna start working out with me? This probably means just going for walks with the stroller in the mornings or doing P90X workouts in my living room, but that's better than nothing, right!? I am so annoyed we don't get FIT TV here... I used to workout with Gilad every morning after having Aaralyn, and that really got me into shape! His workouts are all kinda old and corny, but I would always feel like I got a good workout afterwards!
