Two months old!

Bayla and Harper are 2 months old! We had our checkup this morning (complete with 6 vaccinations), and everything looks great with them. Bayla weighs 8 lbs, 6 oz. and is 20 in. long, and Harper weighs 9 lbs even and is 20 3/4 in. long. We've gotten the okay to let them sleep at night as long as they want-- we don't have to wake them to eat any longer. Hallelujah!! I imagine they'll still wake btwn 4 and 5 hours, but I'll take it. This is great for us because we can now start getting into a routine. Should be interesting to see if Brady wakes up from their cries at night. Because let me tell you, these formerly placid girls are LOUD. Harper's cries are piercing, and Bayla's are just heartbreaking. Because they're twins, they both cry a little more than a single baby just because I can't get to them both immediately. As I've said before, thank God these are my second and third babies because I now understand that a little crying won't kill them.
Bayla's head is rounding out nicely, and her neck is much more flexible since we've continued PT and stretches. Both girls are VERY strong. Bayla is the stronger one, which is just crazy to me. Bayla also needs to be held more, but we're working it out.
For Brady's part, his 3-yr-old hijinks have led to power matches, time outs, truck-take-aways, and more. We're looking forward to 4 years old. If he makes it. If we make it. Still, when he's sweet, he's the sweetest, and when he's funny, he's the funniest. We try to remember those times to avoid his serious injury. If you've ever had a 3-yr-old, I'm sure you can relate.
Shawn and I had our first date since January on Monday. We saw Conan O'Brien at the Fox. It was a great time, and it was wonderful to be Shawn & Becky and not just Daddy & Mommy for a while. We got to eat in peace! It was fantastic.
We're exhausted, tired of power struggles with Brady, and achy from holding 2 babies, but for the most part, everything's going well. It's funny-- sometimes I'll just be sitting here and realize we have twin girls, and 3 kids. As used to the concept as I am, I don't think I'll ever stop being amazed and surprised by it. It's a lot to take in! It's constant juggling and lots of work, and sometimes we're so worn out we can barely handle it. But I'm grateful to my friends who are moms and dads of twins for their perspectives and support-- they survived, and so will we! And we're also grateful to the continuing support of our neighbors, family, and friends, who have provided so much help as we figure out what being a family of 5 (plus dog) is like. The bumpy road that is our life will smooth out eventually, right?
So I know I promised some cute photos, but I have to find the cord that connects the camera to the computer. As soon as I do (you should see this house right now-- it might be a while), I'll stick 'em up here. More updates soon!
