I tried a new chocolate pudding recipe and it wasn't as chocolate-y as I would have liked.

Mine are 31 days old :colbert:

Congrats man!!! Multiples can be loads of fun. Mine are 4 now and I actually miss those days. If you ever need multiple pointers hit me up with a PM. Ours had colic and one had a few surguries before he was 1 but now all are healthy and drive me crazy as most 4 year olds do.


At 31 days we used bouncy seats. You guys have those yet? Sooo useful! Would have one in my arms with two bouncy seats on the floor that I would bounce for them so they all would fall asleep at the same time. Getting them on the same sleep cycle will help you guys with feedings and your own sleep. Good luck and dont forget to hydrate and sleep all you can! Those sleepless nights are a killer.

I keep my real life separate from the online one.

I don't need to be persecuted in real life by my wife for my online activities. :awe:

It's certainly a challenge. Last night they decided to wake up in turns, one per hour...

Man It was rough that first year. My wife stayed home with the kids during the day and I headed off for work. I would come home at six and take over and she would pump and sleep and I would take care of the kids till about 4 am where she would wake up so I could get two hours of sleep or so till work. I did that for 15 months. All three of ours had colic and two had bad milk intolerance so they were a handful.. Hard to comfort three kids at a time. Hope you guys have a good support group when you need breaks. Hope you guys didnt have many complications and they twins are healthy!

"Mike who?"

No cholic, no complications. Mother in law is staying with us so that is huge.

It has been ten years since our first. Big adjustment for old fart :p

We were snowed in, so I brewed a second pot of coffee and me & the cats hung out for a couple hours before leaving for work, while the snow removal guys came and did their thing.

I got to watch my neighbors get their cars repeatedly stuck and unstuck as they failed miserably to get to their jobs.

Now I am at work and I'm pretty much alone. The parking lot is half full, tops.

I special-ordered some long window planter boxes a week ago from a local lawn&garden supply store. (Support local business and all that. And they were half the price that Home Depot or Amazon wanted for something comparable.)
They won't arrive until after I get back from more than a week of paid vacation.

I will miss the 5:15pm showing of Capt America: The Winter Soldier, because I won't be able to get to the theater until 5:30,... and I'll have to wait until 6pm for the next showing.

And that's no longer matinee pricing! I'm not one for hyperbole, so you can believe me when I say that this is the greatest crime against humanity in the history of the Universe.
