  Thanks! But my oh my, now is really the hard part huh? I am exhausted and barely getting any sleep now! Did you start a routine for your babies this early or just do what works for the time being? So far we are doing pretty good with getting them on the same feeding schedule but getting them to sleep at the same time is a struggle.
  How did your return to work go? Do you have your babies in a daycare or have a nanny come to the house? We still need to figure out our daycare plan for when I go back to work...
  I'm hoping to make it to the MoMs meeting this month...just have to make sure my husband isn't working that night.

  You are definitely right in the middle of the hardest part--it only gets easier from here!  Like you, we fed them at the same times and did our best to get them sleeping on the same schedule, but that's just not always possible.  Do your best.  Here's what I wrote in my blog about it if you're interested. 

  We're now into the "four month wakeful period" where they wake a lot at night again possibly due to hunger or teething or just curiosity, but we've started solids and are hoping they get back to sleeping better.  It's all a roller coaster.

  I won't be at the MoMs meeting this month myself (I'm a teacher and it's Open House), but I look forward to meeting you there one day!

  Going back to work has gone ok.  The babies are at a daycare three days and I'm thankful that my mom comes on the other two--that helps with costs and it's just easier not to have to transport them.  We started that routine a week before I had to go back to work so I could go in and get set up, get used to pumping at work, and go back to the babies any time I felt the need (I never did, but it required some will power!).  Last week was all meetings, and tomorrow starts the real deal with students.  It's tough, but that trial week really helped me.

  Enjoy those cuties!
