One Month in.

And here's what I've learned:

~The dishwasher is 90% full of baby bottles and coffee cups.

~The  Very Hungry Caterpillar looks anorexic compared to our voracious eaters.

~My husband looks very handsome wearing a baby. Just sayin'.

~If you think you have enough (diapers, wipes, formula, bottle inserts, clothes, socks, bibs, toys, baby food, spoons, oatmeal,juice, sleep, OR coffee) YOU DON'T.

~The comments haven't stopped since we got home, and are even more ridiculous. In China people wanted to know A) If we had 2 sets of twins and B) If they were all ours.
Here is a few of the zingers we have gotten since we have been home:
Yelled from across the baby department- "How the heck are you going to pay for all those weddings?"
Well sir, I'm just trying to buy them diapers right now, I think I have 20 years to worry about saving for weddings, but hey, thanks for  giving me one more thing to keep me up at night.

And my personal favorite- "Wow, you have your hands FULL!! Are you gonna try for a boy next?? I'm sure you really want a boy with all those girls."
Well, ma'am... Not that it's any of your business, but I already have two sons that I'm very proud of. And just to make your head spin- they are already adults, AND they're not Asian.
I'll let you figure that one out.

~It's not a good day unless you've been drooled on, barfed on, peed on, and have baby food smeared on your shirt and stumble into bed with those clothes on and don't care.

~If you are a dog in our house, you just might have lost your ranking. Having food and water and a few yanks on your hair from Celia will have to count as love and attention.

~With all this estrogen, we need to buy tissues in bulk. Someone is always having a meltdown about something. Okay, it's usually Gianna, and that is nothing new, but she has added some competition in the crying department with the addition of the twins.

~Whoever created the minivan didn't have folks with 4 kids in mind. Seriously. The carseats are so high that we can't see out the back window, the girls can barely get in, there is no leg room for anyone, and we can't get the strollers and groceries in the back. A new car is in our future, and NO it's not the 15 passenger van my hubby teases me about!

~ I used to think 5 AM was an ungodly hour. Now, I think it's a perfect time to fold laundry, unload the dishwasher, and pick up toys from the night before. Heck, sometimes I get wild and crazy and even shower!

~If you haven't heard from me, know this: I routinely forget my cell phone, I never check the home phone, I have no time for Facebook, and I check my email randomly. It's nothing personal. I am so busy being a Momma that all those "fillers" are not even on the radar. Please don't give up on me. I will get better, I promise. My goal is to have my cell phone with me most of the time. Wish me luck.

I passed a woman and her elderly mother at Target, and I heard her say, "Oh mom! Those twins were so cute! I always wished I'd had twins!"


I can totally relate.

I  have always wanted 6 kids, I wanted both boys and girls and I ALWAYS wanted twins.

Greg and I love to sit at night while feeding the twins their bottles and marvel and the miracle of these sweet girls. We try to soak up each second because as we know well, bottle feedings and rocking chairs won't last for long. Even though we are EXHAUSTED, it is the best tired I could ever be.

God in His divine plan gave me ALL the desires of my heart and I am truly, truly blessed.
