meeting the twins

Today I'm running on about four hours of sleep, and I know I should take a nap now while the twins are napping, but I wanted to drop in and share these pictures.

We were so lucky to have lots of family come down and help us the first week with the twins. Between that and Sam's paternity leave, I've really been able to ease in to this whole twin thing, and it's been such a blessing.

Here are a few snaps from the hospital when Claire met the twins.

My toddler grew into a giant overnight, I swear. Seeing her with my tiny newborns makes me realize how grown-up she is. And heavy. She's pretty darn heavy compared to them. ;)

 ^^ I don't know how we would have survived this last week without Grandma and PopPop. They took care of Claire, they burped and changed babies, they made sure we slept when the babies slept, they made us food, and they did all our laundry. In short, they were lifesavers!

^^First picture as a family of five. Five! We're a family of FIVE. This fact will sink in eventually, right?

And now I really am off for a nap.
