2 Sets of Twins...All 2 And Under!

My name is Andria and I have 2 sets of twins. My 1st set, 2 boys were born in April of 2007, My 2nd set is almost 5 mo old and are a boy and girl. Our lives are very busy right now. My husband works as a police officer from 2pm -10pm with many late nights while I work days as a loan processor in a bank. We do this so that we only need a sitter during the couple of hours our shifts overlap, because who could afford childcare for 4 kids!!

It has been really difficult adjusting to this schedule because it feels like we are both single parents.(We only see each other about twice a week.) The older boys have adjusted really well and love being big "helpers" The are constantly wanting to hold one of the babies. I look forward to the days when the boys are a little less needy and the babies can entertain themselves a little more. The hubby and I always make an effort to spend quality time with each set by themselves as well as just the two of us. It has been a major strain on our marriage though... I am hoping as they all get a little older things will get a bit easier. I love my kids so much and wouldn't change anything!!!!
