Hello ladies!
Claudia-Madelyn is a super cutie! Babies are these beautiful little miracles that immediately steal your heart so you can quickly forget the "fun" of labor. I'm sorry your delivery was such a painful rollercoaster-how are you feeling now? I hope you are recovering quickly and enjoying being home. I do love Madelyn's name-will you call her Maddy? I'm a little partial, my DD is Madison and we call her Madi so it's a favorite name
Gi-How incredibly sweet you are! I can tell just how in love you are with Kayla-it is so special to watch over their little innocent faces while they are eating in the quiet of night! I can't believe you had 8 hours of sleep-count me as super jealous. I don't want to speed up time because I want them to stay little for a long time but I would love a little extra sleep. Has your Mam been staying with you? I hope you are all doing well.
Katie-Oh, the fun of a blowout diaper
I'm always amazed that something so little can produce so much poop! Is Ryan still partying each night? From your post I think you are being super productive so you must be awesome at juggling everything already. My house looks like a bomb went off in it, nevermind Christmas decorations. I can't believe Chris has to work 18 hours a day-YIKES! I sometimes countdown until Dustin comes home so I can get help. I know you'll do great (and will have to countdown the days until it is over).
Steph-Shower, what is a shower?!? I am with you now that the babies have decided to do everything at different times-different wake times, fussy times, messy diaper times. I have to be super quick to get anything done. I love that your neighbor snuck in and cleaned-that's very thoughtful. It's funny how people are quick to offer, but very slow to follow through. I'm sorry you don't have a lot of help right now-even though we know it's temporary, exhaustion is a killer! I wish we were all close to each other-I'd be there to help in a heartbeat. Take care of yourself-shower and sleep before you do anything else, it all can wait! I LOVE the pics-so adorable and the smiles melt my heart
Babyluv-Vent away! I know that I have been there before too. When you are tired those things grate on nerves 100% more-it is irritating, especially when you are geared up for time to actually sleep. Are you breastfeeding at night too? I did terrible with breastfeeding at home and only pumped but now my milk has dried up. I am amazed and so proud of you to be able to juggle all of it-that's a tough job to do. Have the girls stuck to eating every 3 hours? I found my chart that gives approximate times for growth spurts so I know better when they might be hungrier-manages my sanity and keeps me from letting them snack all the time.
Angela-Did you get any reassurance yet about the leaking fluid? How is the bedrest going? It is so hard to rest when it feels like there is so much to do-I hope you are sticking to it and keeping your sanity
The final weeks do creep by slowly but you can do it!
Karen-I'm so glad the u/s went well. We'll count down the 32 weeks with you-how exciting!! Have you told family and friends your news yet or are you keeping it quiet for now?
PA-I'm so sorry you are dealing with a cold on top of your concerns with your mom. I agree that the lifealert is a good idea-does it call paramedics and you? I saw your pics-the 3D picture is amazing and you look adorable with your baby bump!
Hazel-George sounds like he is keeping you super busy-so active and curious! I'm sure it is challenging when he doesn't nap well. Do you have a swing for him? Some babies like it and it puts my Jake to sleep when he's fussy and needs to sleep. I wish I had some great advice but I'm so out of practice and relearning myself. It has been 7 years since DD was a baby but feels like it was even longer!
Natasha-It is getting so much closer for your classes to end-yeah! How are you feeling?
Sonya-How are you feeling? I hope you are doing well
AFM-I just survived a crazy weekend-my DD turned 7 this week. Trust me when I say that time truly flies by! She had 8 little girls over for a party Friday night. They did great, except for one little girl. She was a nightmare-shoving down another girl while we were doing the pinata, screaming at the top of her lungs, and whining about EVERYTHING
I made Madi invite all 10 girls from her class so no one would feel left out but I will never do that again! That little girl won't be back anytime soon. We had another party with family yesterday-so I am officially partied out. The babies are going to be 5 weeks old tomorrow. Delaney is such a relaxed baby-really doesn't cry unless she is starving or has a poopy diaper. Jake is starting to develop more as our attention seeker-he cries when he needs our undivided attention. That seems to be often.
It is fun to watch as they grow and more of their personalities come out. I am eager to get my first smiles after seeing Ethan and Angelina's cute expressions. I took the babies to school to eat lunch with Madi-now we'll see if they stay healthy or get sick from the germ factory.hahaha! We also made it to church today. Now, if I could just get Christmas shopping done and a picture time set up I will be doing good.
Take care-I'm thinking of you all!

he really has been great and does so much ah well had to happen some time and its not as if i can go anywhere as i cant drive for 6 wks after a section. Quick question for those of ye who have had a section how long does it take for the numbness around the incision area to go away, not that it bothers me it just feels weird like a dental anaesthetic feeling. Right may go watch the X Factor and enjoy a glass of red wine
