Oh my gosh, everything changed for us! Dh and I having no previous children, going from boredom to excitement! The laundry was a big adjustment..not something I was good about even before kids! But with the coming w/ only the clothes on their back, had to run to the store w/ the clothing voucher. Of course never enough to buy all the clothes needed, so for the first 2 weeks I was washing and rewashing! Now we have enough clothes to get us by haha.
Another big adjustment was fixing real food. No longer could I just pop a hot pocket in the microwave. Trying to reportionalize (my word) everything from 2 people to 5! Started buying better, healthier food, etc. DH and I have become a bit healthier since they came!
We quickly outgrew our house! While we technically have enough to foster 4, I feel like it shrank the day they came! So now I'm trying to convince DH we need a new house...like the one down the street for sale that I LOVE!
I love it though! I can't imagine doing it one at a time now! I hope they can stay forever!
