No time for anything…that’s the way I would describe the last month or so. Well, I should rephrase that…there’s really no time for anything outside of caring directly for these two babies and keeping the household running and working (which I guess is related to keeping the household running!).

I love when they tightly grasp my finger with their little hand as we’re holding their bottle. There is absolutely nothing better than a drowsy baby sleeping on your chest.<\/p>\n
