The inaugural entry

As I write this, the twins are sleeping upstairs in my brother's room. He has kindly given me his room and his king-sized bed for the week (he even changed the sheets first). My mom and sister and I are watching "Dan in Real Life" and I am doing the math and realizing that my angelic tyrants will want me to wake up in less than 4 hours. I'm visiting my parents and siblings for the week while my husband is at a conference blissfully sleeping 8 hours in a row every night. I suppose he's working, as well, but it's the uninterrupted sleep that interests me.


We just had twins twelve weeks ago and this blog is an attempt to put things in writing to share with friends and family and help me remember these early days of parenthood. I talk to people who have had twins and I hear that the first year quickly fades into a blur. While I'd be happy to forget about some of the painful and unpleasant moments, I desperately want to remember many, many more.


So here's the plan... At least once a week(hopefully more often) I will take at least 15 minutes to write a blog post. Time's up for today, hopefully there's more to come soon.
