So the girls are 12 days old! Crazy times. Before today I had been out of the house twice since getting home from the hospital. Once to go to the library and a quick cruise through Walmart, and the second was to get my staples out. Just as an FYI, I heard terrible things about getting staples removed, but it really wasn't that bad. For both of these outings M, V, and L were with me, as I'm not allowed to drive for a few more days yet, but they stayed in the car while I did things. Today we tried something new! We took the girls out! Twice!
This morning was pretty great, the girls let us sleep until 9:00! I was up at 3:30, 4:45, and 7:00, but it was a good night! A few minutes before L woke up, Mom called and we made a date to go for brunch! There were 11 of us altogether, the 5 of us plus my sister, her husband, my Mom and Dad and a couple of Mom's friends. Note number one: I can fit in booths again!!! Hooray! Note number two: bucket car seats do not fit in Smitty's booths. So the girls were on display sitting on our table. Every waitress, cook and hostess working today came over to admire, ask how old, ask if they were a boy and a girl, and tell us about all the twins and triplets in their families! Good times. V and L slept through all the excitement. They woke up on the way home to demand brunch of their own!
After they ate, we went for a walk! This is the first honest to goodness walk I've been able to take for months! M put together our fabulous double stroller while I was stuck to the couch and when the little ladies were satisfied we bundled them up and headed to the grocery store! It took a long time to get out the front door. A really long time. X was doing laps up and down the stairs for fun. the laps didn't help as we kept needing to go back upstairs for more blankets, or shoes, or a wallet. But we did eventually make it outside! L loves the stroller! She just laid back and looked around. V immediately fell asleep. By the time we were on our way back home I was super slow, but it felt so good to get back outside and active (after a fashion) again!
