Settling In

I know it has been a while since our last post, but it is amazing how much time and energy it takes to care for 2 newborns. I think we are beginning to find some kind of routine around here. Ella and Emma eat about every 3 hours. We try to get them to play after they eat, but they are still more likely to sleep. We are having a bit more awake time during the day now, just not much. Bryan and I are also beginning to figure out how to function on much less sleep than we are used to. We have managed to have a couple of nights with the girls only waking us up once instead of 2 or 3 times. Emma has been rather attached to her pacifier lately, screaming when it falls out of her mouth and she realizes it is gone. Ella does that occasionally as well. They are still very sweet babies.

Ella appears to be holding her pacifier in.

I wonder if she can teach Emma how to do that.

So sweet. I just can't even imagine how exhausting it is to care for 2 at one time. Keep up the good work. You'll get sleep eventually. :)
