I am sorry for the delay is checking in, but the schedule got really chaotic!
Colleen - Keep sticking with it. Like you, I was constantly going because she was having trouble fitting into the schedule. However, she finally got really settled in about a week ago. Unfortunately, due to my class, the cub scouts meeting, the boy scout meetings, preparing my lesson plans for the class I am giving on Nov 3rd, and preparing for our Halloween Party (we have about 50 - 60 people coming), I have been really busy. On the good side, she is dealing great with everything now. She is starting to sleep about 5-6 hour stretches at night. During the day, she takes two naps and we clean the house while she wanders in her walker (yes she walks backwards). The schedule helps her know what is coming and she is less anxious.
Kim - I am still swaddling Makayla in the Kiddapatomus products. She sleeps longer and better in that than in the sleep sacks. As for the exercisers, they will get used to them. If one doesn't like it, wait a few days and re-introduce it again. They will likely be more interested then if you keep trying over and over again.
CasyP - It will happen! Sleep is one thing I am okay without, but after a few days it does get rough. I am glad to hear you are doing good.
Tasha - Be careful! That must have been a really scary episode. Audrey sounds wonderful and happy. I am glad you are getting some rest though. Try not to overload yourself (like I can talk).
Nicola - Love st you! I hope you are doing well. We do not get to see you very often. I am sorry I missed you. Enjoy your little trip. It will really rejuvenate you!
JECK!
My dear friend! I am so very happy for you! What name are you changing to? I am thrilled to hear of his coming out at the church. I have looked at you blog and I am really impressed. How is your schedule with Jaden? Is he keeping you moving? He is so very handsome and happy. I hope he stays that way. If he does, you will have your hands full with all the girls that go looking for him!
Makayla is doing okay. She weighed 13.5 lbs at her 4 month check up and was 25 inches long. She got a load of shots and her ears pierced. She is eating her cereals good and now she is starting on the veggies and fruits. She is constantly wanting attention and she gets it! All my cub/boy scout friends spoil her rotten! I have not had time to take many pictures, but I will try harder. I love you all and I will try to check in more frequently.
So, Braeden and I handed out candy, while DH stayed inside with Ellie. Thank goodness we had at least shown the neighbors their outfits earlier in the afternoon--or they would have been extremely disappointed. I had to stay home from work with the babies today since Ellie's sicky poo. 
) So, both babies screamed the place down. To make matters worse, I had to go to work right after we got the kids home (and grandma was babysitting). Needless to say, I was emotionally wracked by this point and just broke down once I got to work. My poor principal didn't know what to do with me! 
Luckily, we didn't have students today, just meetings. So, I was able to take some time to just decompress before being bored at all the endless meetings.
