And here’s what I have to show for my pseudo-adenosine-triphosphate burn. Two handsome, healthy and chunky boys. Don’t you love those double chins? Spencer blew the pediatric office away with his “14 ounces in one week” weight gain. (Thanks Dave and Shir for the darling Swiss onesies mailed from Geneva!)

I am feeling the burn, but the worst kind – heartburn. I am now 3 days late and MISERABLE. But I long for the moment when I hold our new little one and think about exercising again. Until then, I count down the minutes and live vicariously through you!

Is the Kitty Pillow a "My Breast Friend" pillow?

Erin – It's the EZ-2 Nursing Pillow. A must have for nursing twin Moms. It's the only thing I've found that works.
And Michelle! The heartburn is the worst! So sorry! Gaviscon was my good friend the last few weeks. Hang in there! And let us know when baby comes!!!

Cath, Congratulations on the arrival of your beautiful boys! I thought of you on Saturday morning. I felt the burn as I "ran" the same route that you, Deb and I ran together last year in Central Park. I am in awe of your muscle and endurance in every facet of your life. Your example gives me courage and hope. Love you!!

Cath, those sweet darling boys are looking so robust. I'm almost thinking it's time for me to come meet them, since now they seem so much less breakable.
You are amazing, girlfriend.

Mindy – that makes me homesick for New York. If only I could beam us there for a little run with a stop at Alice's teacup. Let's plan another trip when I get these babies a bit older. You're the wonder woman. I love you!
catharvy
Brod – Come any time. You know where to find us and I'd love a visit!

Look at those cute little sets of cheeks:) They are looking so healthy. I am very happy for you all. I remember hauling around oxygen and a monitor with Zachary. You certainly will not miss that. We had a short return of the pulse oximiter this past week and was glad to see it go!! Looking forward to seeing you soon.

That first pic of the boys is adorable. They are getting so big! I think of you often and miss you. Ali's hair is so light in her pic. Wow they change.
And yeah, that is the worst nursing pillow I have EVER seen!
Claudia
I just love your blog! I'm updating mine so I looked at yours. I can't believe how cute the boys are. I sure wish I were there to help again. The picture of Ali with the babies is darling. I can't believe how big she is and how long her hair is. I miss you all!!

Catherine,
I just found your blog through Brodi's. You are amazing! I am in awe! I am hoping you and your family are all doing great! Just wanted to know I think you are terrific! Hang in there. My baby is 4 1/2 months old and I look and her and wonder where my brand new baby went. They grow too fast but it never feels like it when you are in the trenches! Take care!
Love,
Monae

Monae! So glad to hear from you! It is a good reminder to think in a few months we'll be past all these exhausting hazy days. I know they grow too quickly don't they? Congrats on YOUR new baby! That's wonderful!
Deb
Love your post, love the pictures, love you!

Dead Brain Moments…and I have had a few! 1)I forgot my son Michael, then 3 mos. old, in the car when taking my two other daughters into an audition. I was introducing my kids to another mother and when I got to Michael I realized he wasn't there, and said, "Where is Michael anyway?" Panic-stricken, I realized I had left him in the CAR! Thankfully (and I do really mean thankfully) it was a cool afternoon and he was perfectly fine sitting in his carseat playing with his hands! Not funny really, but I can totally understand how these accidents happen. 2) Forgot to pick up my daughter and friends from a rehearsal one evening, even after looking at my calendar multiple times during the day. Another mom rescued them, very embarassing! 3) In Australia where we used to live, you can grocery shop then leave your bags in a cold room to pick up when finished with other shopping. They give you a ticket and you come back when you are ready. Very nice service as the grocery stores are usually located within a shopping mall. Numerous times I had to load my two young toddlers back into the car,after arriving home with no groceries, and drive back to pick them up.

Oh my gosh, cath those pictures just make me feel so much joy inside, lots of love Gordon.
