Solo
Yesterday was Rachel’s first day back at work since the twins were born. I’m sure she’ll have a lot to say about that on her own, but it also means a bit of a change for me. We’re incredibly lucky that the twins’ wonderful grandmother is going to be on the scene Tuesdays and Wednesdays for a while, so that means that I had a considerable amount of help yesterday.
Today, it’s just me (at least until 1:00 when the indispensable Abigail, our babysitter/helper, arrives). Wish me luck!
(Tomorrow I’ve got them on my own from 8-5… I’m thinking the only possible thing I can do, in this day and age, is to live-blog it.)
UPDATE
The day was a smashing success! Julian was a little more difficult than usual, but Eloise had, no question, the best day of her young life. (One day, she’ll graduate from college, and I’ll say, “Well, young lady, this is certainly exciting, but it’s no Day 166.”) She was smiley and playful and happy, and she let Abigail feed, hold, and play with her, and she didn’t really even fuss once. It was kind of eerie. Of course, now I’m exhausted. Here’s hoping tomorrow goes as well.

Hmmm, you liveblogging your first solo day with the babies? I’m not sure whether I’d love that or whether it would make my head explode with guilt.
You’re amazing, babe!
Good luck!!! If u need me I can fly out in-between rehearsals
Good luck, Matt. Hm, or maybe: Good luck, Eloise and Julian! I look forward to the live-blog.
You’re gonna be awesome. They aren’t mobile yet. In a few months, you might be in trouble
Live-blogging would be hilarious, though my boss might not think so.
Yay! I, for one, can’t wait until tomorrow!
