Great Friday

great date! What a good day yesterday was. I got to spend all the day with my girls, visit the other twins, go on a date with my husband and then get a full night's sleep. Wowzer!

The girls and I played all morning yesterday. I can't believe how long they stay up now, almost as though they're avoiding taking naps. However, if the end result is a six-seven hour stretch of sleep I'm not going to complain.

We visited Callie and the twins yesterday afternoon as well, which was fun since now all four of them are up and doing things. Max has a huge little baby belly that's adorable! And Dexter stretches just like Mae and makes cute little squeals a lot. Man, I love those afternoons when Callie, me, and all four babies get together. It'll be great in a couple more months when they actually become aware of each and can play. And Callie and I both bought the Thing 1 and Thing 2 onesies for our twins...we'll all wear them some day this summer, possibly at the farmer's market and be cute beyond words! What I like most about having Callie around is that she's gong through exactly the same thing; our twins were born 5 days apart. It's just nice having someone else whose experiences are so shared this close by. I'll miss them terribly if they decide to move to California this summer.

And then the date. God bless Meaghan and Carl, because it was exactly what Randy and I needed. We went out to Pizzeria Uno and saw Watchmen. And over dinner we didn't really talk about our babies. We talked about other people's babies, but not talk about work or babies, which impressed us both. And made me feel really good about us and where we are in our marriage post-babies. Yes, everything has changed, but in the best possible way.

There are still multiple times I look at Randy and the way we plays with our babies, or takes care of them, or looks at me when I'm holding them both and I just know I married the right man. He's always been a great husband, but as a father I am blown away. It is so amazing to see him as a daddy. We were thrown an incredible curveball with the twins, but, given the circumstances I think we're doing very well.

The movie last night was ok, but when we got home the girls were dozing, so we woke them up, fed them, swaddled them and put them in the crib, where they stayed for six and a half hours. Amazing babies. Just what mommy and daddy needed.

And now today we have more company coming. I think Randy and I have forgotten what a quiet life looks like.
