Pluggin along

Well, we survived our first week home, and Mark and I even survived being with all 3 kids for the last few days. Luckily, 3rd year of Law School isn't to bad (that and Mark has a job, so the pressure isn't there--did I mention that he accepted at Dechert in Charlotte where he worked this summer!) so he is home quite a bit and doing half of everything. Our plan of attack includes me going to bed at 9-10 pm (yeah, lots of fun) and he puts them down around midnight and then does the 3 am feeding. I get up with them around 5-6am and am up for the morning, and Mark sleeps until 10ish. It isn't tons of fun but at least we are both able to get more 2 1/2 hrs of sleep at a time. Someday they will sleep longer then 3 hours at a time.

We took them to a two-week weight check, while we had Eileen to stay here with Katie. Addy was 6lbs 14oz and Marcus was 6lbs 8oz and taller then her.


They keep each other awake by hitting each other with their flailing arms

Marcus is trying to suck on Addy's arm here

Katie is officially the best big sister ever. She doesn't seem to be jealous, she just loves her brother and sister. She always gives them hugs and kisses and wants to hold them. I am so proud of her. It is really nice having someone around who wants to get the diapers and wipes or the blanket or whatever.

Katie insisted on feeding Marcus. It didn't last long though because she
kept letting the bottle drop so that he was sucking air

Congratulations! They are adorable. I'm so happy for you and so impressed. My sister just had twins as her #5 and #6 and it's crazy. Sounds like you've split up the night perfectly.
