The past couple of weeks have been busy! Our lives have definitely been taken over by babies! Feedings, diaper changes, trying to sneak in a nap... my brain is a little frazzled right now, but I'll try to remember a few of the highlights of the past couple of weeks. : )
After a few reschedules, I finally got to have my baby shower. Thanks to Erin and Michelle for hosting (and rolling with all the changes along the way)!

Matt and I took the girls to their 3 week check-up last Friday. Both are doing great! They are putting on weight like champs. Morgan was up to 7 lbs 13 oz and Avery weighed 7 lbs 4 oz. Both gained over a pound since their 1 week check-up. Even though the weight difference doesn't seem like that much, it is really apparent if you hold Avery and then pick up Morgan. Morgan feels like she is so much bigger!
We got this super cute cookie bouquet from a friend at work!
We celebrated Halloween with cute little outfits!

The girls seem pretty oblivious to each other. They sometimes flinch if the other one cries, but they don't really wake each other up all that much. It will be fun to see how they start to interact as they get older.

The girls made their first trip to the Holiday (our neighborhood bar/grill). Matt and I got to have lunch and enjoy the nice weather outside, while the girls napped. The girls also went to their first party. Our friends Bridget and Jim had people over last Saturday night and we brought the girls (they were invited!) They slept the entire time and Matt and I got to enjoy a few adult beverages. The girls also threw their first dinner party at our place. I had a meeting to go to regarding child care options that NPN was hosting, so a few people from work came over to help Matt out for the night while I was gone.
Matt has been home the past two weeks helping out with the girls. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to handle the girls once Matt goes back to work and I'm with them by myself during the day. Luckily, my mom is still available to help out when I need her... until Erin has her little boy... then we have to share her!
My next project is finding a nanny. I'm very apprehensive about leaving the girls alone with some stranger. It's going to be hard to go back to work in January. : (
