We are ONE MONTH OLD!

Please forgive my seriously sleep deprived brain as I try to put together a coherent update on the boys.

Liam and Luke are one month old today, February 11, 2008. On February 9th, they officially made it to Hannah's 40 week gestation mark as well. The babies continue to grow and change daily. They are beginning to recognize our voices and respond to various stimuli like light and music. We continue to do our best to manage with two babies. When one is fussy, the other is likely sleeping. If one is hungry and drinks an entire bottle, the other wants to sleep and eats virtually nothing. The challenges are changing daily and we are forced to adapt as quickly as possible to keep up with the babies and their needs.

We are enjoying our new house and working very hard to get settled and find the items we need. If anyone were to see the inside of the house, they would likely be amazed at the progress in one week which John has reminded me of several times. I am too much of a perfectionist to admit that things are organized even if they really are. John has done a tremendous job at unpacking, organizing, working full time, and doing night time feedings. I was able to get out of the house for one of the first few times (we can count these trips on one hand) over the weekend while John watched the boys.

We met our neighbors last week and discovered we live in somewhat of a utopia neighborhood. The people were amazing and have offered to bring meals over every other day for the next couple of weeks. This is a major help for us as our initial meals we received after the hospital were dwindling and take out pizza was becoming less and less attractive.

Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers that we will stay upbeat, work together as a team, and continue to have patience to deal with two babies on a daily (and nightly) basis.

Pictures to come later today......(i hope).

John, Hannah, Liam, and Luke
