A Day of Firsts

The twins are now 17 days old and have been home for the past 10 days.  So far things are going amazingly well.  All they do is eat, sleep and poop.  I don't know how we thought James was hard when he was first born.  Maybe it was different with him because he was our first and we didn't know what we were doing.  Or maybe the twins are so mellow because they're preemies.  Eitherway, I'm counting my blessings.

Today we ventured out for the first time all together.  We made a big trip to Sam's Club.  We didn't need much and I figured we could always leave easily should there be some major problem (like multiple children melting down).  But everything went fine.  James still screamed at the crazy "chicken lady" (aka the greeter that looks kind of like a cartoon chicken).  But the twins slept the whole time.  I'd heard people can be kind of stupid about twins and yup, we got our first "wow, are they twins?" question.  Umm, not to be horribly mean but yeah two newborns clearly weren't from 2 different pregnancies.

Sawyer and Silas also had their first real baths today.
