Pedersen Twins (plus one!): 6 Weeks

Six good things this week in celebration of the girls' six week birthday:

6. The weather has continued to be ridiculously warm. While I know a lot of people really are missing snow, this little family is pretty thankful we're able to get out - snow and sub 20 temps and we'd be stuck inside.

5. On a related note, I got to jog today!!! Granted it was a minute and a half total during an hour long walk. BUT it's the first time I've jogged since LAST MAY. That's got to be the longest I've ever gone without jogging/running since, like, I learned to do so. I'm hoping to do the Capitol View Sprint Triathlon (400m swim, 10 mi bike, 5k run) in June...so that's a big motivation and very exciting!

4. On a further related note, the girls may have been exposed to the sun for the very first time today during our walk. No, we won't be exposing them to much more, we know we know. But they've got to feel the sun sometimes!

3. The three of us are falling into a routine that is working better and better every day. I'm getting to know what they need, they're becoming more predictable and regular. And I'm becoming accustomed to the lack of sleep. As they say, a mom of twins will never take a full nights' sleep for granted for the rest of her life. I hope one day to attest to that. Maybe in 2013?

2. Last week they got to meet their Haag great grandparents and have a nice long visit with Papa Jack and Nona Carol. They got to meet more family and we got more help and food this weekend, thanks so much Kelly, Cathy, Mike, Diane, Rob, and Erica!

1. As always, they're such wonderful blessings, even at the most difficult times, and we're so happy Freya and Signe are in our lives!
