Gym schedule

After a day of mike being home for Christmas break, he expressed the need for a schedule for the twins. Maybe he wasn't used to the chaos that I've been living in, but in the end, he was right(like always). So I paid more attention to their sleeping and eating patterns and kept better records of each on my handy baby log app. I also did some research, since I remember nothing from Adeline and really mike was the one who was with her. I knew they needed a morning, afternoon, and evening nap. But with twins how? I mean trying to get two babies on the exact same schedule seemed ludicrous to me. If other twin moms had done it, then I could too.

We got a YMCA membership. Well as mike put it, he got it for me for Christmas. As a post twin mom, I ended up taking his gesture personally. He cited that it was really to give me two uninterrupted hours if peace(they have a free child watch for members).
Since mike's been home, and the sun doesn't come up until the ten o'clock hour, we've been going every morning. This has helped tremendously in more ways than one. First, I get to exercise and lose this belly. Second, I get to shower in peace, even though it's with many naked old ladies, that's a post for another time. And third, the twins get a schedule. Oh and Adi gets to play with other kids.
It's been great, really. I've loved it. I've felt so good exercising, and getting a little bit of quiet time. It's honestly done wonders for my sanity. But just like a mom, I can't be too selfish, and it all comes back to my kids, and how the things that I do benefit them.

In other news, I've been miscalculating the twins' monthly birthdays, and today, the winter solstice is their three month birthday.
