Holy cow!! I can't believe it's been 5 weeks since I updated the blog. I'm so sorry to those of you who are loyal followers. Obviously, we have been very busy with our two precious babies! They are wonderful babies (well, except when they tandem cry) Haha. I'm not kidding. Tandem crying is definitely the hardest part of having twins. It's especially difficult when either of us is taking care of them by ourselves. They really love to tandem cry right as Craig walks in the door at the end of his work day. No break for Daddy. But truly, we are enjoying parenthood.
We are a bit less exhausted now too. Emerson and Mallory seem to be on a fairly consistent schedule of eating every 3-4 hours, which is helpful when we are trying to plan any kind of outing. Speaking of outings, we have been out and about quite a bit and they both enjoy riding in the car. We know this because they immediately fall asleep. :)
I've been keeping myself busy as a stay at home mom and I'm enjoying my new role. I've joined an exercise group called Stroller Strides, where I have met other stay at home moms. They meet 3 times a week, although I've only committed to one day a week for now. It's hard to get out the door by 9am, but we will get better at it eventually. Through Stroller Strides, the babies also attended their first play group. The play group is once a week and made up of many of the same moms and babies. All of the babies are older than Emerson and Mallory, but several of the moms are working on their 2nd baby. So soon enough, they will have many playmates.
