One Month- What We've Learned

Well, as the DQ 2.0 just pointed out, we've hit the One Month mark!!!   Woohoo!!!

So what have we learned:

  • We had no idea what we got ourselves into!
  • One Month flies by when you don't sleep.
  • Also, with the added ability to not eat, you can really shed some pounds!
  • Also, also, with the added ability to produce high calorie breast milk, it is the new crash diet!!!
  • The Twizz are sooooo cute
  • Mila, aka The Mouse, is putting on weight.
  • Court, aka The Dude, has GERD!
  • The Mouse makes some horrifically spooky squeaks and shudders in the middle of the night.
  • The Dude just lounges around.
  • The both definitely have the Yarnoz GI tract.
  • The frakkin heart monitors are an absolute pain in the rear.  I think in the past month we have entangled/strangled ourselves, each of the Mouse/Dudes legs, the Ham, the crib, the Pizz, and diapers.  These wires have also gotten Golder showers and Chocolate thunder!
  • The Visa process in Brazil is a horrible cluster fudge!
  • Thank God for Mastercard!
  • Who knows where the DQ2.0 and I would be without the amazing assistance of the Mo, Lala, and Ita/Wowo.
  • Two people can sleep soundly in a twin bed!
  • Who would have thought that one boy's little junk would have caused soooo much fuss!
  • NICU- schmicu!
  • How can two babies sharing the same womb can be so extremely different in size, shape, eating and pooping habits.
  • How could the Pizz be that afraid of Wowo?
  • How that fear could be overcome by the Power of the Belly?!?
  • Birth control!  Catch the fever!
  • Directional urination!  It's all about positioning the junk!
  • How much harder it is to change and clean a boy versus a girl.
  • How much the Mouse looks like the Pizz.
  • How much the Dude looks like the mailman!
  • Man, I love the iPad.  Damn that new 2.0!
  • Who would have thought that all of our focus and life would be centered out of the Nursery 2.0
  • How's the Visa process in South Africa?
  • Just say no to Carbs!
  • You can never have enough breastmilk.
  • CLCs are never easy to find
  • "My Brest Friend" is my new best friend!  Where else can I hold the Twizz on each arm, surf the Internet on my iPad, and drink a beer, all from the comfort of my couch!
  • I think Twizz call is much much worse than cardiology night call.
  • The DQ 2.0 is the most amazing woman on the face of the earth.  I challenge any of you, loyal BY Viewers, to come up with a woman that is more.  You too, Hoff!
  • Industrial strength breast pump- never thought I would utter that phrase... or is it udder?
  • I have started signing Baby Signing Time songs in my sleep.
  • The Pizz' signing vocabulary has exploded.  Now if we can only figure out how to use forest animals, farm animals, sea creatures and nighttime objects in our day-to-day lives; we'd be set!
  • Potty chair- still not happening
  • I've got back my 4Runner!
  • We'll never sleep in our own bedroom again
