Settling In With The Twins (by Amanda)

I have a moment of peace. I know it won't last long so I need to get in all the things I can't do when they are awake. So here I am writing another entry. It has been really hard. I spend a lot of time praying for the girls. I just had a visitor which was really nice. My language helper came and sat and talked with me for a little over an hour. She even helped feed Miriam. It was a really relaxing time. It is so nice just to have a persona holding another baby. I can put all my energy into one and not try to divide my time or feed them both at the same time which can be difficult at best. Although I have this trick that I can use to feed them both while sitting in my comfy chair. The hard part is getting them both ready and make sure their bottles are within reach. I have to say today is a good day. That's two in a row! I feel more relaxed with Hannah's health improving and Miriam sleeping well at night. God has really blessed Thom and me and taught us so much. I have learned utter helplessness and have grown to better understand my need for God's intervention my life.

Praise God Hannah's health is improving!! I'm sure that's tricky juggling twins! Thanks for being willing to make all this effort, hope you soon get more rest.

We just want to send some encouragement. Our kids are 5 1/2 and 3 and we still remember the less-sleep nights and trials of being a parent to young babies. Take help when it's offered. Sleep as much as you can. Let things go other than essentials. Our daughter, Leah, starts kindergarten in a few days and we have a hard time believing it's come so soon. We are praying for you and Miriam and Hannah!
