Well, I didn't come back over the weekend. So much for keeping the promise... The days are still kind of a blur here. But time goes on. It's (almost) hard to believe that the babies will be 7 weeks old on Friday. Time is sure flying by... Minus those days that creep along like months...
The last few weeks have definitely been a roller coaster. To quickly sum it up, we had to deal with my milk drying up, the flu, the stomach bug, the rotavirus (baby girl) that made us switch to the most expensive formula out there, physical therapy for my husband for the pinched nerve in his back (that's been dragging for months already but we finally started seeing some improvement) and the freezing weather. Add to it two newborn babies who don't sleep day or night and yeah, life is fun...:)
I do think, we are slowly getting into some sort of routine but it will be a while before we can all breathe a little easier. Still, it shouldn't stop us (or at least, me) from trying to get my life to a somewhat organized stage. Hence, back to becoming a goal-oriented girl again.
You might remember that last year I opted not to make any goals. 2013 and the beginning of 2014 were VERY rough for us. In fact, exactly a year ago we found out that we were 6 weeks pregnant only to lose the baby just a week later. Then I lost my Grandma. Many things had happened last and this year, both heart-breaking and exciting. I have to say, I'm kind of ready to slow down to a more predictable lifestyle. I know it's not exactly in my hands but some things are. So this year I'm going back to creating and trying to achieve a few goals in 2015 even if some of them might seem lofty :)
But since this post is getting a little long, I'll share them with you tomorrow. A sneak peak - the top of the list is surviving the first year with twins :) Oh, wish me luck!!
Happy New Year, everyone!
I hope we all have an amazing year ahead of us!
Happy New Year Lena~ Lynn @ Turnips 2 Tangerines

Oh, look at that--they're starting to smile. :) All I can say is "Good luck," and you have beautiful children. I can tell things must be getting better if you are making goals. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are! She started smiling when she barely turned 5 weeks. My earliest ever (which is very impressive considering they are preemies)! Now at 7 weeks they both smile all the time but I'm yet to catch it on the picture :)
Deleteso good to see and hear from you with those sweet babies!!! I too am looking forward to a little better year :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Lena!!! I wish you and your precious family tons of blessings this year! I can imagine how busy your household must be. Just take it a day at a time, or an hour at a time, and things will start getting easier. :)
