Schedule

I know that there are others out there who have more than two...but multiples bring a new sense of scheduling and getting ready. So I thought I would post a schedule to let you know what a day is like with twins.....

6:30 am wake up---you hear 2 voices and 4 legs kicking the mattress you know it it time to get up. Start off with 2 diapers. Knowing that if one is poopy, the other is too...they are on the same schedule

6:45 2 bottles...down go 12 oz. of formula

7:30-8:00 breakfast Used to be oatmeal and a fruit, but recently they have been liking pancakes, cheerios and some sort of fruit...pears, peaches, strawberries or babanans.

8-9:00 play time! They play, giggle roll and try to get on their knees.

9:00-11:30 Nap time...just like clock work. Start with a diaper change...then lay them down with their music

11:30 or 12 when they wake up another diaper change (so as you see we already have gone through 6 diapers for the day) Then another bottle. Another 12 oz for the day.

12-1:00 play time

1:00 lunch time....hmm this changes but generally a veggie and a fruit...of course not pureed...they just want food they can pick up. Their fav. being zucchini

1:30-2:15 more play time then another diaper change...number 7 and 8 for diapers.

2:30-4 or 4:30 Nap time again. During this time...I try to pick up the house, and do a load of laundry and wash the rest of the bottles

4:30 another round of diaper changes....number 9 and 10 diapers...then bottles. Another 12 oz down.

4:30-6:00 play time...daddy comes home and plays too, while I throw together dinner. (usually a 30 minute meal from Rachel ray)

6:00 dinner time...another fruit veggie, and cheerios.

7:00 bath time. 20 finger, 20 toes, 8 cheeks, 2 tummies, 4 legs, 4 arms and 2 heads of hair. Also 2 more diapers....so 12 diapers a day. Or more if they have a poopy diaper in between....

7:15 bottle usually 3-4 oz each...then into bed. 2 hugs each girl 2 kisses for each girl, then lay down and you never hear another sound.

Whew...time to clean the kitchen up!
