babies babies

Hi all,

I know it's taken me a while to sit down and write. And it hasn't been for lack of Agi trying to get me to do it. The reason why? I just couldn't pull myself away from the babies!!! I finally left my bedroom for longer than an hour or two about two days ago. Before that I was just happily bonding with the twins all day long, feeding, staring at them, getting a little catnap, staring at them, changing a diaper, staring at them... and all the while a goofy grin on my face. Jacek says I haven't looked this happy since before Jasiu, and that's how I feel. The babies are both wonderful, they look really peaceful between feedings when asleep. So far the only crying that goes on is when they are hungry. They take turns at intensive feeding periods - today I fed Junior 'till noon about every 30 - 60 minutes, now he's sleeping a bit longer but Agatka is waking up every hour.
What else to tell you...
I think Junior was looking at me today as if he understood all I was telling him - I think he's going to start reading and writing soon. Agatka won't be far behind, but she's trying to catch up a bit, since she was smaller than Jr. Both are already trying to lift their heads up.
We've had our first outings already - the first was for a doctors visit - both had a touch of jaundice on the 3rd - 4th day but it was mild enough not to warrant any treatment. But since there was some concern we had a check up when the kids were 7 days old - and all was well! The second outing was to show my mom and Agi, the girls and the twins the new house we bought - I don't know if all of you know but we bought a house - HURRAY!!!

And a third outing when the twins were 2.5 weeks to the mall for some shopping (believe it or not I bought more cross stitch materials).
So everything is getting back to the new normal. Jacek and I are learning all about babies. We couldn't do it without Agi and my Mom - both have helped us tremendously and Agi continues to do so. Everything would have been much harder without her. Did I already tell you I have the best sister EVER???!!!
Soon we will be off to the dzialka (summer cottage) where the kids will all get their dose of sunshine and fresh air. I'm sure we'll have many more pictures to share from there.
Till next time!
