We have survived the first full week at home! But don't let the above picture fool you into thinking we have two docile daughters--by no means. Even after feeding the girls a bottle in the evening, one or both may just want to be awake and play--arching their backs, flipping themselves over onto their backs from a side lying position, and 'rooting' for more on their bearskin rugs, mattresses, or daddy's arm. I actually held Abigail through half of dinner last night to calm her down. Oh, believe me, it is one of the greatest feelings in the world to be near and hold these girls, and I would not give it up for anything. The constant motion at the house can be draining for those involved, though. Rebekah is definitely adjusting well and is learning the true meaning of patience and perseverance. Rebekah's mom, Nadine, has been on the clock 24/7, and I am dreading the day we receive that bill. Haha. Nadine, we could not do it without you! The best news--and I hope that it continues--is that the girls have been on a 4 hour schedule for the past two nights. Feeding at 11pm then 3am then 7am instead of 11pm, 2am, 5am and 8am. That gives the caretaker a few more minutes of sleep each shift. Not forgetting the minor incidents, of course, but I think that we are starting to enjoy this parenting thing! Taking a line from Mike Organ: continue to pray for the "Glisson family and the recent family explosion."
