I think it's great. I hope you enjoy them. Believe me you will be very busy, but you will survive, we have. We have 2 girls and 2 boys ages 4, 3, 3, and 7 months.

So true ranoutofnames. I have always had newborns. Right now I have 2 one-year olds and an 11 month old. I can't imagine my house ever being quiet again.

they came with the shirts and pants they were wearing, nothing else. Not even undwear! Pants instead of shorts and it was like 90 out today!!!
I am so thankful for my support team!!! My one friend went to target and picked up pjs and a outfit for each child plus diapers and advil for meLOL Then another friend brought me literally cases of food things like toothpaste etc....!!! When she saw the clothes the kids were wearing she informed me that she was going to babysit while I ran to the store and purchased the things I need!! i was sooo thankful. She also called someone from our church that runs a thrift store and they opend up and let me pick up stuff!!! I came home with bags and bags of clothes!! I took only the baby with me... he is already clinging to me. I am so blessed with the support of my friends!!
