My wife is doing quite well, getting rest, relaxation, and sleep to recover from her persistent concussion syndrome. We quickly established a daily routine that worked out perfectly. Every day she gets to feed one baby at 4 PM and the other one at 8 PM before they returned to the rental house. That, in and of itself, made her extremely happy and I think precipitated her sleeping well through the night. She never thought she would be taking care of the twins, so every night she goes to sleep satisfied and on an incredible endorphin high. Nanny and I agree it is good therapy for her psychologically as well as feeds her soul. The girls drop them off around noon and they have all afternoon to do whatever they need or want to do. Afterward, they join us for dinner, then assist us in feeding them just before they return for the evening to the house.
Today is the last day here at the Beverly Hills Hotel bungalow and tomorrow we will go home to see our babies right after breakfast. Gigi is tolerating the sleep medication well and did not have anymore dreadful side effects. We did take some walks through the garden but didn't venture very far away from the bungalow just in case something happens and she needs to return quickly. Today we waited on the bench just outside our bungalow for them to come up the walk. She loves greeting them returning to us. We munched on the chocolate covered strawberries that are delivered daily to the bungalow while we wait.

On the final afternoon, we cuddle up in bed with the babies. G is mesmerized with them, just watching both of them sleep. "Mama, a penny for your thoughts. Whatcha thinking about?"
She slowly lets her eyes drift upward to me, "Sweetie, this week has been so special with them. We have enjoyed high-quality time with them every day. Soon we will have 2 more babies to share our time with. I think we should continue to take afternoon naps with them. It helps me sleep and I could still use the extra rest." She is beaming with joy and happiness with her aura exuding all around her. We sleep until it's time to feed them.
Nanny is right on-time bringing a bottle and a tank. "Ma'am, do you want to see if one of them will breastfeed?" Gosh! My wife sits up unbuttoning her dress in a flash ready to try. She decides to try Violet who we both know always wants her Mama. She fusses a little bit but she's hungry and latches on with her chubby chipmunk cheeks going to town sucking fast. She needs to slow her down a little, but she's not having it. Violet screams bloody murder when she tries to slow her from sucking so hard. G bursts out crying too.
"Mama, what's wrong? Talk to her. That always calms her down." She hesitates to stifle the sobbing, trying to talk sweetly to Violet to console her. She stops squealing and gazing up at her Mother with a cute grin.
"Aww, see she loves her Mama's voice. See if she will finish at a slower pace." My boy is about done with his bottle. Watching my wife feed Violet reminds me of how she is such a natural mother. She is stroking her hair as she finishes her feeding tank. "Come on baby girl, let Mama burp you." She takes care of her just as Nanny comes in to change her. I will change and fix up Ethan. We are doing great with this arrangement and I'm getting better at changing them. After they are all cleaned up it's time to nap with the kiddos until dinnertime.
