The Schwartz quads!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, a friend of mine from high school recently had quadruplets! Amazing miracles these 4 beautiful babies are! Yesterday, I went over in the afternoon to help with Cole, Molly, Meghan and Kurt. As you can imagine, "it takes a village". I was so excited and couldn't wait to see Jill and her babies. Yesterday, they were two months old. Jill is so amazing! She is so laid back and takes everything in stride. I told her I needed to take a page out of her book. She asked me if the title of her book was called "Insanity". She is such a crack up! Everything is down to a science with these 4 precious babies. Every feeding, every diaper, every thing is charted. You definitely need to keep track or how else could you stay on top of it? When I got there, another friend of Jill's was there. The feedings were wrapping up and I got to feed Kurt. So sweet. When I changed his diaper, I felt like I had never changed a diaper before. But of course, Mommy instinct kicked in and all went well. After they were all fed, they all slept. Jill's friend left and Jill had a dentist appointment. I helped by sweeping and mopping the kitchen floor. I kept checking on the babies...just to be sure they didn't need me. After I was finished with that, it was just so quiet...they are such good babies. So, I decided to sweep the hallway and living room. Then, Cole was fussing...nothing major but it was my excuse to hold him! It felt so good. He is so sweet. He settled down and then Meghan started moving and fussing. It was getting close to feeding time and she's the first one who eats. Jill came home and we started getting all 4 bottles ready. I fed Meghan and Jill fed Cole. As soon as they were done, Molly and Kurt were ready to eat. We started feeding at 3:30 and we were done with all 4 at 4:45. Jill said we made good time that usually, it takes 2 hours to feed them. After they all ate, I showed Jill how to lay them on the boppy pillows so they could get some tummy time. Cole is so strong...he kept lifting his head and looking around. Molly had an upset tummy so of course, I had to hold her. Then, it was time for me to go. I spent 5 hours there and the time went by so fast. Jill said her days just rush by. She also has two other boys, Jason 4 and Kyle 2. They were in school but I can only imagine what it must be like for her when everyone is home. Jill has an amazing support/help system and I am so thankful to be a part of it. She asked me if I was going to come back. Definitely! They are just so sweet and as they get bigger and start doing more, I am sure things will get even busier! Thanks Jill for allowing me to be a part of your miracle!
