The typical day in the Burns home.....craziness. Ha, ha..Eric and I have been so excited to have the twins home. We did not realize how incredibly busy it would make us and how much it would change our lives. It is a wonderful thing to have them home though...at least most the time (jk). This morning I was thinking about all the supplies and time we spend with them on a typical day, so here's a rough estimate:
15-20 diapers
32 bottles (2 every 3 hrs for pumping, and two different ones for feeding)
countless binkies due to colic
8 hours of feeding time (both feed about 7-8 hours a day and take 30 min to eat)
2.5 hours of pumping time for mom each day (I pump because kids can't breastfeed)
average of 3 doctors appointments a week
4-6 outfits a day... due to spit-up or...see the first item on this list...
zero free time - we've wanted to update this blog for about a month now.
lots of smiles!
2-5 hours sleep for mom and dad
immeasurable love and fun!
Things are crazy, but we are so grateful to have two healthy babies. It really is such a miracle and we love these guys so much. They are now about 5 months old (although really like a 6wk old baby) and are both really doing well. Connor is about 10 pounds now, and Mckenna is about 8 and 1/2 pounds.
