I feel slow this morning.  Xanga is slow this morning.  The babies are already about ready for a nap.  A sloooow morning, I guess.

Unfortunately, I need to have a fast and productive day today in order to be ready for our trip tomorrow.  Of course, nothing on my list will really take hours (except maybe packing), but I need to be better about staying focused and doing all the things on my list instead of goofing off. 

I did go to the zoo with the babies yesterday.  It was a bit chilly and we did get rained on a little bit, but it was nice to get out and walk around and stop only at the exhibits that I wanted to see.  Unfortunately, the otters were closed, though, so I didn’t get to see every one of my favorites.  But with our spiffy new zoo pass, I guess I’ll just have to go again soon to see the otters!

As of a few days ago, I had decided to keep nursing the twins for a while longer.  I simply figured that there was no real reason to stop at this point and I needed to remember to enjoy the time we have with them at this stage.  Of course, in the last week or so, Alex has seemed to have fewer dirty diapers and a bit of constipation.  This was the one thing the pediatrician said would indicate they aren’t getting enough to drink.  So, either my supply is a bit down because their appetites were low because of their colds last week.  Or I may need to move to formula sooner after all so that I can make sure he’s getting enough liquids in his day.  I am planning to keep an eye on him for a few more days (since I don’t want to make a big change while we’re traveling) and see if things improve.  If not…then let the weaning begin!

I think that’s all the big news of the day.  And as I probably won’t post tomorrow, here are a few pictures of the babies to end the week.

Gotta love this smile!

She’s doing her pushups!
