Back to work ... sigh

Well, I am back at work which is very sad. Back to the world where NFT means Non-Functional Testing as opposed to Nappy Free Time.

The last 6 weeks have gone incredibly quickly. The first 4 weeks were relatively easy. The boys basically only slept and fed. The last two weeks have been a lot harder. A lot harder. After feeds they double team you. One starts crying so you pick him up and sooth him, then just before he has become relaxed the other one starts crying so you put the first one down to sooth the second and just before he calms down the first one starts crying again. This can go on and on. At various times Meeks and I have been exhausted. Please pray that we can get through it.

I think it will be hardest for Meeks alone with the three boys now. I've had a bit of practice being the only one home, when she has been able to go out for a few hours here and there so I can begin to see how hard it is going to be. But a few hours is no replacement for day in day out.

In other news the boys had their 6 week check up yesterday. Lucas is 5.4kg and Sam is 4.7 kg so both boys are continuing to pack it on. The Doctor said both boys are very healthy although both have flat spots on their heads which are a bit of a cause for concern, but there are things we can do to address it like more tummy time.

Sorry there hasn't been more photos lately. I blame exhaustion!
