One week down...

I've looked forward to this week for many months now, both with excitement and nervousness!  Now that it is over, I can say that it went PERFECT!  I said a little prayer Monday morning before my feet ever hit the floor & I can honestly say that the Lord must have been watching over me.  My week with Ashton and the twins (& Kaylyn in the afternoons) was surprisingly easy.  I'm no fool, so I'm counting on days that are harder than others & even a few where I will probably want to pull my hair out, but so far, so good :)

My days were filled with lots of feedings (bottles for the babies and real people food for Ashton), tons of  diaper changes & me playing with Ashton.  Thankfully Kellan & Kolby are wonderful babies and made it really easy.  They never cry (until I take Kellan's bottle away to burp him) and they are the sweetest little things ever.  A really BIG accomplishment for me this week was getting to story time with all 3 of the little ones on Wednesday & I even made it to my MOPS meeting on Thursday.  They are both things that I want to continue to be able to do, so I figured that I better learn how to make it happen!

I don't know how to explain it, but I really feel as though Ashton has grown up in a matter of 5 days.  I wish I had pics to show it, but by day two, she was already trying to burp the babies.  I sit on the floor to feed them & she walks between my legs and pats them on the back while I do the same.  It is the cutest thing and you can tell she is so PROUD to help!  She also picked up very quickly rocking one in the car seat while I buckle the other.  I'm not sure why she started doing it, but once I put one of the babies in the car seat, she rocks him while I put the other one in.  She is definitely very curious when it comes to them and doesn't let much pass by her :) 

I didn't have much time to take pictures (I will get better), but below are a few that were snapped throughout the week.
