Update-ish

Twins are no joke

And while I like to think most days I have my ish together I finally broke......my body broke that is. The broken up sleep going on over 3 months because at the end of my pregnancy I never got more than 3 hours at a time finally kicked in and last week I lost it.




I had such a bad migraine that I had to abandon my husband on the last night feeding and go sleep in a quiet room alone for 5 hours straight and it was heaven until I woke up with my throat almost swollen shut and my nose stuffed.



Needless to say I'm not much help on the baby front and my sweet Michael had to call into work last Wednesday and stay home with me so I could rest. I'm feeling better I just have a nagging cough now and nose that is stuffed one second and then draining the next.



We have been going through a fussy phase with the babies and it's hard to get too much done during the day. We tried changing their formula and that made them constipated so back to the old formula and now they are back on track.




They had their one month check ups back at the end of May (mom fail that I didn't do a month update oops) They have gained so much weight. Marshall was 6 pounds 9 ounces and birth and at 5 weeks he weighed 9 pounds 10 ounces and was 21.5 inches long. Miss Charlotte was 6 pounds 12 ounces at birth and at 5 weeks she was 9 pounds 5 ounces and 22 inces long. My boy is a little chunker and his sister is long and lanky.



My sister gets married in August and so we are starting to get into the crazy wedding time where is showers and crafts and invitations oh my!


We had a small scare with my sweet little Marshall last night. All is good and I'm working on a post about it because it really speaks to following your mommy gut.



Grayson is still amazing with the babies and has adjusted really well for the most part. We did go through a "no" phase but we nipped that right in the butt and have moved on from it pretty fast.



I go back to work in less than 2 weeks and I'm pretty sure I will be able to blog a little more regularly.

Happy Tuesday

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
