This year I was to go to uni to do my Graduate Diploma in Education. A week before enrollment I pulled out. With the pregnancy bed rest and newborn twins it's been well over a year since I have visited the hairdressers. If I haven't had time for a haircut how the hell am I going to fit in a full time course load? We have zero baby sitters. The girls are too young. They need me. I need them. Even DH isn't ready to be left alone with them. I am exhausted.
This development means that I am now a full-time SAHM until... something I never thought I would be. What do I do with myself? What do I do to keep the girls entertained now they are at an age they need more stimulation? How do I get motivated to start taking responsibility for the cooking and cleaning?
I am tired. I am the biggest I have ever been. The multiple pregnancy, months of bed rest and cesarean have totally destroyed my body. I have just started intensive physiotherapy and come home black and blue. I'm also about to start Pilates as to put it simply, I don't have the strength in my back to hold my girls.
Here are my precious bundles plotting their next attack:

oh my gosh- they're so adorable! I'm so glad to hear that you're happy despite the chaos. I feel your pain (and your happiness!)
Gosh they are growing up fast!!! (can you name the girls for me - don't want to get them mixed up) anyhow looks like your little one on the left has something huge in store for her sister :)
enjoy the SAHM while it lasts, I really miss it now I'm back at work... Oh and I never did work out how to manage one babe + housework + meals ;)
you are doing such a fantastic job! Its great that you are so happy despite being so tired! Don't worry about housework - just enjoy the time with your precious girls.......
so beautiful they are!
They are so gorgeous! Love that evil look in the left twinnies eyes! She is up to no good!!

Your girls are so lovely! Love that cheeky look! As for housework, meals and managing the kids. It doesn't seem like it now, but you'll eventually get yourself into a routine and it'll all get done eventually. Get your strength back first! You sound really happy though and your girls look fantastic!
The are gorgeous. I will tell you are doing a fabulous job! It is difficult every day that I am caring for our boys I get very little else done and my SIL is here to help me and takes care of them when I have to work. I will say flylady.net is a god send to me (I am not affiliated with the site at all). I take everything 15 minutes at a time, although I need to find more energy during the beginning or end of the day to work out.
Hang in there and take care of yourself. That is the most important thing!
