Picture Tuesday: 2 weeks old

It's been another fast and busy week.  Glenn was home from work all week except for Thursday.  At Aramco if you don't work at least one day during the week, you have to count the weekend days as vacation days as well.  So he went in on Thursday so that he wouldn't have to take vacation for Friday and Saturday.  He was really great to stay a little later on Thursday morning and help get Tate to the bus stop.  I have no idea how I would have done it with the babies and Finn without our double stroller.
As soon as Glenn walked out the door, Finn yelled upstairs that he had thrown up on the couch.  Perfect.  At least it was a company couch and not ours!  Ha!  We laid low all day watching shows, feeding babies, and letting Finn take a long nap.  He seemed just fine after he threw up.  He probably just had something caught in his throat and it made him gag.  Luckily it was a one time thing.
Being home with 3 kids all day just a week after giving birth was not the easiest thing I have ever done but it was not too terrible.  The hardest part was realizing how stuck I'm going to be for a while.  Probably until we move to main camp.  It would be hard to get out at home with twin babies, but at least it would be possible.  I could get in the car and drive to the store.  We could get in the car and go to a fun park.  But here, I can't get in the car and go anywhere.  I'm going to be very stuck on this little camp for a while and that's a little scary to me.  I have a really hard time feeling stuck.  We can go bowling and we can play at the park here.  But that's about it for us all day every day because I just don't know how we'd be able to get anywhere on the shopper busses with Finn, two car seats with babes, a stroller, and big diaper bag.  Yikes.  Please bless I don't lose my mind!
We got word on Thursday that our shipment would be arriving on Monday.  We were a little panicked for a couple of days waiting to see if the guys would be here to remove our Rakah furniture on the same day that we got our stuff, or if we'd have to pile it all in our main room for a few days.  Luckily, they were able to come by on Monday as well, which was a huge relief.  This was our front room with maybe half of the rakah furniture in it.  Glenn was a workhorse moving everything around, and taking apart beds to make as much room as possible.

Glenn gets one day off to help unpack the shipment and then he took one more vacation day today.  Yesterday the trucks showed up at 8:30.

Finn was invited to play with a new friend on camp.  He and his momma played with Finn all morning which was heaven for both of us.  Finn loved it and came home so exhausted.  5 women from our morale group came by and helped unpack and organize our kitchen.  It was incredible to have that all done right away.  They were so wonderful.  It would have taken us forever without them.  The girls and I camped out at the Larson's house for most of the day.  I'd feed the girls and get them to sleep and then go back to help unpack or move things around.  I didn't feel like I did too much at the time but it definitely caught up to me last night.  Last night was pretty rough.  Turns out I'm still healing.  Bummer.

This is our main room last night.
Most everything is unpacked now.  Glenn has been working nonstop all day.  It's been amazing to have him around today to help get things settled in a bit.  The biggest problem is that there is just not nearly enough storage in these villas.  We have the little maid's room absolutely stuffed and there are still boxes all over the master bedroom and office.  The kids rooms are almost done and the living/family room looks good too but we still have a long way to go.  And I can't even think about doing this again in a few months when we eventually move to main camp.  Moving is the pits.
We did get a pretty great night's sleep last night in our own bed.  And it's wonderful to have our own couches again.  I really do love our furniture.  It's so cozy.
The girls have been troopers this week.  They've continued to give us 4-5 hour stretches at night.  So if we stay up with them until 10, we usually just get up once at 2-3 and then again at 5-6 which is about when we'd have to get up anyway to get Tate ready for school.
They are still so so sleepy.  I thought that the boys were awake a lot more of the time by 2 weeks old but the girls sleep almost all of the time unless they're hungry.  It's awesome.
The boys have been a little sick this week.  Finny with a cough and runny nose, and Tate had pink eye this weekend.  We had to make our first outing as a family of 6 to main camp clinic on Saturday to get him some meds.  Good times.  The boys have not been too pleased that we've asked them to keep their distance from the girls while they're under the weather.  Luckily they're almost better now and the snuggling can begin again!
So without further ado, here's picture Tuesday.  Kenna and Taryn, 2 weeks old.
