Our Little Feces Monsters

16 weeks ago this past Monday, two of us went to the doctor's office for a routine ultrasound and non-stress test. Five days later, four of us walked out.  As my maternity leave comes to an end, I've found myself reflecting on how much the girls have grown and changed since those first stress-filled, sleepless, crazy weeks; and I've also thought about how much our lives have changed since we brought them home.

1. Once upon a time 4am meant I was stumbling into bed.  Now it means I'm stumbling out of it
2. Disco naps have been replaced with "nap while the kids nap" naps
3. Poop and toots have become the primary conversation topic at casa de Flinn
4. Living with babies is like living in Italy under Il Duche - the trains (or rather, the food) will always arrive on schedule
5. Last-minute drives to LA to catch a concert have been replaced with last-minute drives to Target for everything.  
6. Before kids - I would never leave the house in pajama pants. Now, I consider wearing pajama pants being dressed up. 
7. A continuous night's sleep has become a myth - oft-talked about yet never seen.

As crazy as they made me those first few months (I seriously think I should have been put on meds at one point), they're pretty awesome dudes.  I remember what our life was like before they arrived, but now I can't imagine my life without them.
