Still workin' it off..

My sister and I took the girls to Wal-Mart last week and the cashier, a sweet little silver-haired lady, asked which one of us was the mother. I proudly replied that I was, sure that she was going to congratulate me or tell me how adorable the babies looked. Imagine my surprise when she then asked if I was "already expecting more or just hadn't worked it off yet?" Wow. I know I still have a ways to got but geez... The girls were barely six weeks old! Apparently all that pizza and ice cream I justified while I was pregnant (after all, I was eating for three) is a little more noticeable than I thought. Ah, well. Just another reason not to shop at Wal-Mart. I always liked Target better anyway. But I guess I won't pack away those elastic pregnancy pants just yet...

In other news, Allison slept a whole 5 1/2 hours in a row last night! That's a record. Of course I didn't get that much sleep since Molly still expected a snack every three hours, but at least we're making forward progress. Ryan can still sleep through their cries (and since he has to go to work and actually be productive I usually let him), but when I'm desperate I'll poke him and he'll get up to help. And many nights he gives the girls their last bottle so I can go to bed early and sneak in little more sleep. It's a good system and seems to work for us. We're both tired but not zombie-like.

Oh - we learned last week that the placenta lab tests came back showing that the girls are identical (I have no idea what they look for but I guess they know what they're doing). I was shocked because we don't think they look anything alike. But maybe when Molly grows a bit and gets a hairdo like her sister they will? Crazy.

Wonder if anyone makes shirts that say "Yep, I have my hands full." That's probably the comment I get the most when we're out and about. Along with "Uh oh. Double trouble." For now it's still fun when people stop to admire them - I just smile and say thank you. Other twin moms tell me that these comments might get annoying after a few months but I'm not so sure. How could I get tired of people noticing my babies? We'll see.
