I hear ya! Maverick and Catalina were both 13mos when we brought them home. I had no idea a person could be that tired and not be in a coma! But, somehow I made it through and I know you will too! In another month or so you'll get into a new routine and figure out when you have time for other stuff besides chasing after them . My greatest lifesaver (besides a double stroller) was paper plates, plastic cups and platic cutlery. I don't think I washed a dish for the first month we were home. Just having one less chore seemed to make a world of difference.

asauer, we are also using the paper plates and utensils..... It has saved me so much time feeding the babies and everyone else.... You guys all rock! Thanks for all the encouraging words. Everyday does get better.
