Wow Hillary. I was just reading through some of your blogs and they're awesome ... all of them. But this one, well this one is something you should keep always. Thanks so much for sharing something so intimate.

Well, I don't know if I should cheer for you or commiserate...I'll choose the first! :) I'm so glad you get to enjoy this time with your babies! Good lukc finding a new job though, I'll let you know if I hear of any advertising positions open!

Just take it a day at the time. It is hard to stay home with one baby, much less two. Good luck with the job hunt. Things will work out.

Shana, i'm so glad you stopped by! i also heard that it's "easier" to drop kids off with a relative rather than a complete stranger - but tell that to my heart! it hurts no matter what! i hope you continue to read and comment on how you are coping - we are in this together! i will be thinking of you next week.

I just found your blog through Work It, Mom! I love the 6 posts I just read in the last 15 minutes. Thanks for this one especially. I return to work next week and my baby and toddler will be cared for by my mom. I believe my co-workers think leaving my kids with grandma should make it easy, but really I'm still leaving my kids and it still sucks. Thankfully I have a 1 hour commute during which I can cry my eyes out.

Hillary, you crack me up!

My hubby went and got the snip snip when Caden was a year old. No more babies for me and it was the best decision I ever made. I love my only child. LOL!

Victoria, I wonder if it ever gets easier? How can I find a company who wants to pay me for raising two well balanced human beings?

Rachel, hi! I know, I wish I could squeeze Josh's cheeks right now and make a few funny faces at Belly. Your little Finn is ADORABLE - i'd have a hard time leaving that face too!

2010-02-15T09:13:13.529-05:00

Yes, it's sad. I can't imagine leaving TWO! I'm so glad your mama is there to watch them--but that really doesn't make it any less sad! I'm sad just thinking about my baby being home without me...

2010-02-15T08:49:55.201-05:00

I was with Rachel when she went back to work leaving baby Finn. It is a tough first day. And maybe second and third too. Thinking of you today!

This story kills me. Hope you have had some good time hanging out with Ellen this week.

Hang in there. This too shall pass. I kept repeating this for a couple of years but it was true. It is true. You're doing great.

Oh man that was a good post. I wouldn't have thought about that (shaving) either. To funny.

That's okay. Just wait till you get all the toys. It will never be picked up:)

I'm just so so glad that you are back. And that those babies are okay. Take your time. We'll still be here.

2010-01-24T01:15:52.275-05:00

Always great to read a post from Mrs. Bender. Those are some beautiful babies!!!! I can't even imagine getting that little sleep but hang in there. Not that I am in a position to offer advice on the matter but I just know that people seem to do it all the time, right? I also tell myself that when it comes to eating too much crap and buying too many shoes. Oh well. Good to hear from you and Happy Baby-ing!

2010-01-23T21:04:57.783-05:00

You can never tell someone that is pregnant exactly how much your life will change because until you do it.....you don't understand. Those first few months are terrible. The lack of sleep just can't be understood until you are going through it. I had postpartum for about a year and a half but once my son turned 3, my mom mode kicked in and I have loved every second of it. He will be 16 in May and he is a complete joy. Congratulations on the twins and just know that THIS TO SHALL PASS! It goes by very quickly. When you are going through it, it doesn't seem like it but it does. Take it a day at a time.

2010-01-21T12:08:56.895-05:00

Yay! Photos! they are adorable. some newborns look like aliens but Hillary and Jack - you make the exact opposite of that. Great job you two! Ease into this. Twins can kick your butt, but you seem strong enough to take it and kick back. Rest as much as you can!

2010-01-15T09:07:00.862-05:00

I didn't see any of your post on Facebook and I didn't know that you had put pictures of the babies on there. They are so cute and NO they won't sleep for 8 hours at a time. BUT when they get to be 15 yrs. old like my son, they will want to sleep all day long. Just keep that in mind. LOL! Congrats and just take it a day at a time.

2010-01-13T23:24:37.239-05:00

Hey hey - there you are! I have been wondering how you have been and when we would all get to hear about how it's been going. What BEAUTIFUL little babies!!!! I really hope you are well and that you can get some sleep. Yay for Bender Babies!

Somehow I missed this post the first time round...bummer for me. Anyway - I hope that all is going well. Soooooo exciting!!!!
