Seeing Double: Three Weeks Old

Today George and Clara are three weeks old and have been at home with us for a week. We are finally getting into a routine at home. John and I are getting used to the total sleep deprivation. I keep reminding myself that this is only a phase and it will get better. I think my brain has stopped working at this point! We enjoyed introducing George and Clara to their Godmothers Ashley and Brandi. These two women are two of my very best friends and mean the world to me. I know George and Clara will be guided and loved by them too. We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at our house with our parents. Our moms did all the cooking while John and I took care of the twins. We also survived our first pediatrician appointment. Both babies have grown so much since coming home. They both gained almost a pound and grew an inch! The doctor said they looked great. Today we had a fantastic photographer Holly Anderson come to the house to take George and Clara's newborn photos. Check out her website www.hollyandersonphotography.com. I can't wait to see how the photos turned out. John returns to work tomorrow and I am sad that our time together fully focused on the twins is over. We've had some moments together this week that I will never forget. My mom is coming tomorrow to help us out for about a week and I am so happy that she is able to take the time off from work. It will be so fun to have her around. I know I've said it a million times in the last three weeks but we are blessed. I thank God for these two little miracles, my amazing husband, and our family and friends.
