I can't believe I'm actually awake!

So let's see . . . life with a newborn and a 6 month old. The first night we got to sleep around 4a.m. (I think Miles was somewhere closer to 5a.m. before he could fall asleep). And last night I got between and hour and 2 hours of sleep in between feedings. Miles has been wonderful in helping with both children when I need it, in spite of trying to still juggle his business and a job interview today. We're adjusting. I also have some wonderful help from my H.S. girls. Some of them have been here both nights to just help me with things like holding one baby, feeding and changing another one, putting together the new pack and play, and washing our dishes. One girl even stopped by while we were all gone at an appointment yesterday and straightened our house and washed our dishes. They are amazing young ladies with hearts for serving God and others. Believe it or not, I even went to 2 appointments yesterday, by myself, with both kids in tow! And it wasn't that bad. Although they did get hungry at the same time while we were sitting in the office, so the lady who was doing the medical tests fed one baby. God has placed wonderful helpers in our lives and am so thankful. Miles' mom is going to come down this weekend and help us out. She loves being Grandma. So in a nutshell, I'm tired but I'm happy. And now I have to go wash some bottles and try and eat some breakfast since they're both sleeping!
