Here's what is currently bouncing around in my head:
-I'm loving the reduced humidity. The girls and I have enjoyed swinging on the porch swing lately. It's like a miracle cure for fussing and is a huge sleep inducer for them. I'm glad that now we can enjoy the outdoors without melting and dodging wasps!
-I am chopping my hair off tomorrow. I woke up a couple days ago and literally couldn't stand another inch of nasty long hair hanging in my face. I am so over brushing spit up out of my hair and don't have time to blow dry and straighten it so it always looks disgusting! Not to mention, I am constantly pulling long strands of hair out of the girls hands. I have been growing my hair for a long time and thought I would love it once it got really long. However, all of a sudden I am done. I'm going back to short hair with bangs and will probably up the level of blonde. I also looked in the mirror yesterday and thought it was much to brown hehe! :)
-Zoe is officially done nursing. She still takes breastmilk from a bottle, but won't nurse. It's my fault. I have been pumping a lot during the day but was always really good about nursing in the morning and before bed. Well, this past week, and I really don't even know why, I have been pumping in the mornings too while the girls played and I drank my coffee, and realized that I hadn't nursed the girls in a week. I think it's because they have been waking up so happy so I thought, why nurse. If I pump I can sit here and chill for 10 minutes and drink some coffee. Well, last night I tried to nurse her and she went ballistic! Like top 5 of all time in her life! I've since tried about 10x. Yep, we're done.
-Nora wakes up every night, well morning I guess, at 1:30ish and 5:30ish. I know she is hungry at 1:30 but at 5 she will eat for like 2 seconds if nursing, or take an ounce of a bottle and then just chew on the nipple. That's all it seems to take to pacify her. However, if we try to sooth, or let her cry for a bit, or pat, or rock or ANYTHING else than offering food, she just escalates to hysterical. I'm at a loss for real!
-I feel like when the girls are sleeping I am constantly cleaning, doing laundry and organizing and it never ever ever looks clean!! I guess it's just not meant to be right now!
-Lance is super dad. I mean for real. He works 10 hour days, and two nights a week pulls double duty since I work Monday and Tuesday evenings. I have yet to hear a complaint! He gets even less sleep than me if you can imagine that because nighttime feedings are a million times quicker if each of us just grab a baby and pop a bottle in by heir mouth. If I take the time to feed one, the other gets so upset and it's hard to calm them back down to sleep. I do both sometimes, and am SO ready for Lance to be off the hook for feeding duty.
- On a similar note, with Lance being gone 12 hours a day I am realizing how I absolutely could not do this without my family! They have been saints. My parents may just be the most selfless people I have ever met. Seriously! They offer me so much support in so many ways. My mom gets this twin life, and is truly so wonderful and helpful and just such a great friend! My sister is too!! Just today Betho called and asked how I was doing. I am seriously batteling a cold and was up all night with Nora and we have no food. No joke, 30 minutes later breakfast appeared on my porch. No need for me giving her my order or anything. It was exactly what I would have gotten myself. And THEN, without asking my dad dropped off a bag of food my mom had fixed up from their house for lunch! Same thing, my exact favorite lunch. I'm eating it now!
-I am still just loving life. Most days are wonderful and some days, like today, are pretty hard. But I just love my girls, my husband, and my friends and family! We are blessed!
(Blog didn't get posted on the day I started...so we are on our hard day...hehe)
