We love Bathtime!

The girls have always really enjoyed their baths... it's just the getting out cold and wet part that they hate! But we have so much fun during bathtime, singing, splashing, making mohawks. I can't wait until they're ready to go straight into the real bathtub so they can play and splash around together. Here are a couple pictures we captured from last night's bath.

And thank you to Grandma & Grandpa Krupa for babysitting today! We really appreciated it and the girls had fun with you! (they told me).

Back to Work

Well, it will be almost 7 months since I've been in the office (6 weeks in the hospital, plus my time here at home with the girls). Soooo, I'm finally making the transition to being a working mom. I'll be going back to work full time in just a few short days - Monday, April 6th. It's definitely bitter sweet since I'll of course miss spending my days with my precious little girls, but it will also be kind of nice to have some time for myself. We hired a wonderful nanny who's most recent FT job was working for a family with identical twin girls from the time they were 3 months old to 2 years old. Even though I know she can handle these little rascals, I'm still feeling major anxiety about it! I'm sure every mom feels this way when leaving her children for the first time, though. It will be fine, but I know I'll be crying on my train commute to work on Monday!

The girls and I just playing around:

Last Synagis Shots

Today the girls got their last round of synagis vaccinations, so we should be protected from RSV through the beginning of May. Here were the girls weights:

Caroline - 12lb, 11oz
Olivia- 14lb, 12oz

Yes, Caroline continues to be the pipsqueak of the family.

Afterwards we dropped daddy back at work and then came home to play! Here they are in what mommy calls "the babysitters".

Spring is Here!

So I decided to give the blog a new Spring look. The girls were semi-cooperative this morning so I took some cute pictures of my little bunny rabbits.
