Tired

So shockingly, we are not as tired now that they are home. Is that weird? I think the driving back and forth several times a day coupled with the emotional stress of leaving our babies each time...was more exhausting than the actual getting up with them in the middle of the night part. Now, I say that as we are both home and not working right now. But when Joe goes back to school it will be something else. As most of you know, I am someone who keeps score with her husband. I like for it all to be even and fair. It might not be my best trait but Joe knew exactly who I was when he asked me to marry him. I think when he goes back to work, I will realize how much he is/was doing. Luckily, I have another week of him home.

We are doing ok! They are on the same eating schedule as in the hospital so we are feeding them overnight at 11, 2, and 5. And yes, I consider 11 p.m. as overnight. We are both getting up with them at this point to make sure they are eating, etc. With them, it can be exhausting to get both of them to eat. I have not napped yet but imagine I will hit the sleep wall soon!

The Dr. went great! The low point was when my car did not start as we were prepping them to go and Joe was meeting me there. It eventually started during my panicked call to the office to let them know I would be late. If that is not a sign that we need a van...or maybe the sign was when my Dad and I had a difficult time both fitting in our car. The high point was when the Dr. looked down at my newly purchased "Doctor notebook" and saw my list of questions and suggested we move to his office. He can clearly tell that I am going to be something. He already knows my kind. The obvious low point would have been when he called me "compulsive" but all I heard was "organized"...took it as a compliment and we moved on. That Dr. Terry...hope he knows what he is getting into.
