5 Weeks

This week was spent getting better at our scheduling and feedings.  Because of the breathing issues, Jeff and I took turns staying awake to monitor the girls as they slept.  My mom has been here for most of the week, so we were also able to get some things accomplished.  On Thursday, my dad arrived on his way up the hill to 'camp' so we put him to work holding and feeding one of the girls.  I think he is most looking forward to when the girls are old enough to go camping and fishing with him.  They just don't do much at this point.

Jeff headed up to Tahoe Thursday evening for Drew's wedding, so the girls and I spent the night at my parents' condo.  I wasn't ready to go solo overnight with them.  My mom was a great help as she got up with me to feed them.

On Friday, my mom and I headed up to Tahoe with the girls to meet up with Jeff.  We made it just in time for the rehearsal dinner for Drew and Karissa.  Mom and the girls were able to join us because there were a few people who didn't make it.  While they slept through most of it, the girls were doted over by many.  The next day was the wedding.  My mom hung out in the room with the girls because the wedding was outside and it was HOT!!!  They joined us for the end of the reception, where they got to mingle with the bride and groom.

They were tuckered out!

The bride and groom

We spent the rest of the weekend recovering from the trip. My parents spent a few days camping, and then came back to Sacramento on Tuesday.  Mom and I took the girls on the first grocery shopping trip to WinCo.  We each took a baby and a carseat in a cart.  Needless to say, I don't think I will be shopping solo with both girls.  We have also been having the girls test out their crib.  Eventually, we hope to move them out of our room and into their own room.  They will share a crib for a while, and need to get used to the different surroundings.  So far, so good.
