12 Weeks - and sleep update

12 Weeks baby boys

The twins are 12 weeks old!  I will do a proper 3 month update soon, but for now, here is a picture to tie you over.  I just can't get enough of sharing these beautiful boys.  I try not to flood Facebook, but there definitely are many times I just want to share my joy and brag about how cute my kids are!  I did start a new account, though, so it is mostly just close friends and family who are eager to watch their progress.

Anyways, I thought I'd share that our "plan" for sleep training hasn't really worked yet.  For the most part the boys are still eating every 3 hours all day and night.  There have been a handful of times where they went four hours but that is not yet the norm.  I am not discouraged as their adjusted age is still young (8 weeks).  I think what we have done is setting us up for success as we already have a framework in place.  We have decided to hire a young adult to help us out a few nights a week, in addition to the help from my parents.  The  sleep deprivation is taking a toll so it will be great to catch up a bit.  They poor things caught their first cold this week, so that has been an added challenge to the sleep factor.  I still haven't mastered calming down two babies at once so there has been lots of crying (screaming) which has also worn us down.  Hopefully soon they will start to sleep longer... :) 

Here are a few pics of our little boogers at 12 weeks!

I'm so cute and cuddly!

I never stop moving, hence my photos are always blurry.

A moment of peace (followed by tears and crying)
