Angels among us

I would not have survived these past three weeks had it not been for real angels who have helped us out so much. People watched our kids, drove me to the hospital and sat with me through multiple bilirubin checks for the twins, cleaned my house, made meals, did my dishes when my head pounded, folded laundry, kept me company, called to check up on me, and endless other small acts of service that have meant a lot. It's been humbling to be on the receiving end of service. I am very anxious for my mom to come this weekend! I am trying to get the babies on the same schedule-still a work in progress. I have to supplement with formula to keep up with the high intake of these guys (not to mention the output keeps me busy as well :) These babies are sweet and demanding little bundles. It keeps me on my toes to see to the needs of my other kids as well. Such is life. Thank goodness for warm 70 degree GA Springs!
Thanks to all you angels near and far!

You are amazing! I feel like I'm just barely surviving with ONE baby. I'm glad you're getting so much help. Hope you have fun with your mom!

I am so glad your Mom will soon be there to help! I have wanted to call but am worried I will call when you are acutally getting to rest or when you are busy trying to feed a baby or take care of another childs needs. So know that we are thinking of you out here and praying you can get some rest!

Rachelle, I haven't been to your blog in forever! But I wanted to check in on you and your cute little twins. Can I just say you are AMAZING! (You look amazing, too!) What a precious family you have. I just love-love-love it! And you can still find time to blog?? Wow, #5 did me in, and I didn't even have #4 and 5 at the same time!! Congrats again, and may you get alllllll the sleep you need while your mom is around! Good luck!

I'm so glad you are getting lots of help! I don't know how I would have survived twins without lots of help! I don't know how you are doing it with 3 additional kids! Your Dad gave me your blog address. The babies are darling! We have a blog too if you ever get a free moment. It's tyandlachelle.blogspot.com
