It's awesome.
and tiresome.
The end.
People with 1 baby: it's hard but good for you for managing!
People with 3 or more babies: I don't know how you manage so I bow to you!
My twins? They are pretty good babies. They only fuss when they have really bad gas and are in pain. For the most part they are on a very close schedule which is hard because you have to take care of them at the same time. But it beats having to deal with one after the other, trust me I tried it and immediately went back to put them back on same schedule, as much as its possible of course. The one day & night they were on separate schedule I just didn't sleep and had a massive headache the next day. Its hard dealing when I'm alone but its not impossible. Hopefully their tummy's continue to adjust and their fussing time gets cut down, its not a lot of fussing but since its times two its pretty time consuming.
My days consists of this: feed/burp/change diaper/pump, sneak in some food for myself, feed/burp/change diaper/pump, maybe pee, feed/burp/change diaper/pump, massage them and give them a bath, soothe them here and there when needed, feed/burp/change diaper/pump, maybe take a nap, feed/burp/change diaper/pump, greet Jeff home and run to shower and eat and sleep, and back again to feed/burp/change diaper/pump.
It is a lot of hard work and of course I expected that and do not and will not complain because they are sooooo worth it, but I will say this: I would not have survived this far without MY Mommy. I just don't know if she does it for her baby or my babies.... the line is very thin there... and does it matter? no, cause she loves us all yadi yadi yada BUT since I'm her baby it should be all about me, right? hee hee I may be a mother but that doesn't mean I can't still be my Mommy's spoiled baby. Just saying...
Jeff is back to work so I try to let him sleep in the nights as much as possible but the poor guy still doesn't get enough sleep and I think has been a walking zombie at work. He actually tends to sit up, in his sleep, to "take care" of the babies a.k.a the blanket. He talks to the blanket and literally pats it so it can burp. He does it constantly but every time I try to videotape him he stops. I'll get him some day! And yes, I will share it =)
Seriously though, thanks Mom soooooooo much! We love you.
Thanks also to Jen for coming over when you have a chance to hook me up.
And to my kids, thanks for letting me experience mommyhood even if you demand lots and lots of attention, you are awesome and soooo worth it.
