(hm,hm, Auntie Lisa!) :)
I promise, I will update someday....
The good news is that all is well...The girls have been growing...At three months, Audrey was 9 lbs and Norah was 9 lbs, 13 oz. They are gaining a little over an ounce a day--right on target! They are breastfeeding champs now, and I'm SO thankful for my little friend, the EZ-2-Nurse Twins Pillow. Goodness, if anyone out there plans to nurse twins, this is a MUST! Lots of smiles from the girls. They are so cute! Of course, how would you know...all the pictures are stuck on my camera...
Ethan is so funny and so cute. He's all cuddled up in bed with daddy right now...and the girls are sleeping in their swings...and it's thunderstormy and dark....I can either jump in bed with my two sleepyheads or try to get something productive done...

Mommy Confession
I took Ethan to our community Easter Egg Hunt today....
He wanted to crack open some eggs on the way home....
First egg--a ring
Second egg--a top
Third egg--??? Contents went flying out
So, we get home and I'm carrying Audrey into the house in her car seat. I spot something yummy under her hand--the missing egg contents, Smarties! I know these are Ethan's favorites, but he won't miss them. He's surely long forgotten about the missing prize, and I'm starving for lunch by this point, so I quickly eat them on my way to get the mail. Next words out of Ethan's mouth---"I just can't find that prize! I've been looking under all the seats and all over the car!"
I felt so guilty, esp. since he had JUST sweetly given me his rings. I grabbed some Nerds from our leftover candy stash, placed them under Audrey's hand, and sent Ethan searching. Luckily, he was thrilled and wasn't at all suspicious about how such a big box could fit in such a small egg ;)

Lesson Learned!
I will never, ever, ever, never, EVER try to nurse one baby at a time during the night because I'm too tired to wake and deal with two babies, and *hope* that the other baby will continue sleeping for an extended amount of time. Back-to-back-to-back-to-back-again feedings do not bode well.
