I once heard a joke about a boy who threw a clock out the window so he could see time fly... well I think once that boy was a man all he had to do was have a baby or two! Nel and Farren were two weeks old yesterday. It seems like so long ago yet it wasn't at all. I have to say those first two nights were weary times, Dallas is not a person who likes to be woken up out of a deep sleep at 2 am. I can't blame him at all its a new experience. That being said, the babies are so content right now. They let us know when they are hungry and we get some type of food in them, then they get changed and they are ready for more sleeping. So the whole process in the middle of the night takes about an hour for both babies. They are sleeping around 3.5 hours at a time, I honestly don't mind doing that 230-330 morning shift when Dallas gets up at 630 for the next, its like I am getting close to 5-6 hours of sleep then and that is amazing. I know that it won't always be like that, but I am so glad they are so close to the same schedule right now.
Anyways, its interesting to watch how much they change even over night. Farren just loves to look around with her big eyes and she wrinkles up her forehead when you talk to her like she totally understands what you are saying. Nelly is a big snuggler she has to be rocked to sleep after a feed and let me tell you she has some major lungs, when she is hungry you know it! So the whole diaper thing... I didn't think I would be able to change them with all the poop and everything, but its actually not that bad. They seem to poop a lot... what's with all of that poop?
Well two weeks have passed and the girls are doing well, we have them home and we are still functioning and they are still alive and seem to be happy so we must be doing something right. I just wanted to update and just give you a glimpse into our lives. So basically it involves eating, sleeping, pooping with a lot of snuggles.

Jesse, Nell and Farren
