Time...time...time!

Ooooooook....before I get into baby talk and how I can't believe that a month has already come and gone, I need to discuss my breakfast. It's like Oatmeal Deluxe! Kashi instant honey and cinnamon with a whole banana, a scoop of ground flax seed, and a scoop of this trail mix I got called "women's vitality" ha! It has lots of nuts, craisens, some other dried thing, sunflower seeds, and dark choc chips. I mean really...I think about this oatmeal from the second I wake up. Whoaaaa, that was a tangent...I can't help it. It's what I do!!!!!

Now the babiessssss!! Ohhhh, they just keep getting cuter everyday. They are especially cute today, because they are wearing new outfits from cousin Sarah. Like the first, non-onesies that actually fit my tiny children. Like, I think they are getting big until I have to tell someone their weights out loud. Yesterday was my real due date, and they are about the size of regular newborns, soooooo all the world makes sense again. Other than the fact that both have stuffy noses and Miss Olivia has a diaper rash like you wouldn't believe, they are sticking to the same ole routine...eat, diaper change, sleep like champs in the nap nannies...repeat!

I can't wait until tomorrow morning to go back to the Farmer's Market on Eastside and Richmond. I mean...it was so great last weekend. Everything was overpriced, but the music/adorable consumers/coffee bar/real good breakfast to go/perfect weather all made me feel like I was on the best post-baby field trip of my life. So like I was saying...I can't wait til tomorrow. If it rains, I'll be so sad.

I FINALLY got some inspiration for my new awkwardly sized living room when my new issue of House Beautiful arrived in the mail this week. I mean I can't wait for the moderly comfortable not modernly stiff chaise lounge, revamped ratan chairs, cozy blankets, magazine rack, books to read....ohhh I need to find a way to get this together ASAP!

And now this post has gone on too long, so here are just a couple of pics!

First Week - The Day we left the hospital


One month later...

Hmmm....I can't think of a title!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh where do I begin?????

2 weeks and 2 days ago was when this twin party got started! I can't decide if that sounds like a lot of time or a little bit of time...ha! Yesterday we saw a bunch people who like we don't know, but knew we had two new babies and asked how old they were and when Josh said 2 weeks out loud, I thought to myself..."that's it????" Not because it feels like eternity, but just because it feels like they have always been here. Little Miss Laine and Olivia....precious, precious, precious, PRECIOUS little peanut babies!

Thank you Sarah for keeping everyone in the loop and posting pics...I'm still in the "what do I do with my free time in between feeding?" phase. Like....do I take a nap or do I call a few people or do I check my email??

We went to the pediatrician today! Everyone is great and the little itty bitty Olivia is now over 5 lbs....woooooooooohoooo!!! The little thing can really suck down a bottle and it is paying off!! She still isn't on the growth chart but Laine is leading the way in the 5th percentile! I want to whisper in her ear to enjoy being tiny now, because it's not going to last...ha! I'll remind her of this one day when we are shopping for prom dresses or something and size 0 and 2 aren't even on our radar!

The moving truck came to our new house today...thank you JESUS! It has been really nice being here at the Samet's. Lots of help! Lots, lots, lots of help! But lots of help=lots of people around and I will be happy to have some lonely quiet time just to balance things out a little bit!

I mean, I think I could go on and on about all of the details but instead I'm just going to give a few shout outs to my fav baby items.

Nap Nannies-seriously, thank you Shala for telling us all we needed this.
Itzbeen timers- again, Shala you get the mother of the year award for being in the know!
Anais & Aden Swaddle blankets - like-stretchy, gauzy, perfection. They can be found at Right Start Stores and landofnod.com. I have two packs of 4...i think i may need one more!
Happiest Baby on the Block DVD- if I couldn't swaddle like this baby whisperer taught me to,I just don't I would survive!
Super Speed Hospital Grade Breast Pump - the name says it all!

And finally....a few of my fav pics...






There are more, I just need to upload the new ones! Also...I've spent my entire 2 hr break quickly scarfing down dinner and then the rest of the time I've been on facebook and reading blogs...ha! I sent Joshy to the back for a nap...hopefully he'll wake up raring to go!
