All the hormones

This pregnancy was so different mostly because when you have two babies you have twice the hormones. Seriously, I never thought that was true but I asked my Doctor and he said yup you have double.....everything. Joy.

I remember having swings after I was pregnant with Grayson. Mostly crying at the drop of a hat because he was growing up so fast. #crazymommy

Well having the babies just hit the 4 month mark and my hormones are out of control.

My hair is falling out. Seriously when I get out of the shower it looks like a small cat is sitting in the drain or hanging on the wall*. (* does anyone else get the hair off their fingers and then put it on the shower wall and swirl it around? No? Just me? Ok)

My ovaries feel like they are going to burst and I'm having pregnancy symptoms (No I'm not pregnant it's physically impossible at least it's supposed to be because those suckers are tied up) just like I did with Grayson around this time postpartum.

I'm tired all the time, and starving, and I cry because when I grabbed a handful of M&M's out of the bag I grabbed an un even number and now what I'm I going to do.

Michael walks in a room and asks if it's okay to enter because I'm that emotionally unstable. #itsfuntobemarriedtome.

But then I look at those babies and it's all worth it. My sweet sweet lovely babies.

My hormones even got the best of me the other day when I said I was sad that I would never be pregnant again. Michael looked at me and said "What?!?!?! We are done with babies, you said 3 was it, the twins were our last we both agreed, why are you changing your mind?!?!?!? You CAN'T change your mind your tubes are tied, I can't handle another baby I can hardly handle the 3 we have! Don't do this to me!!!!!"

Once he took a breath I explained that no I don't want any more babies I feel like the good Lord above as completed our family just the way it is but I will miss growing a baby. The kicks, the excuse to eat all the food, hearing a heartbeat. Ya know the fun part. However I won't miss the cankles, stretch marks, or the post partum things, like all the hormones that are making me crazy right now. If you see me in the grocery store crying, I'm okay really just throw me a tissue and run.

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

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 ...

Conferences, Grocery Pick up and trying to get out the door

I had grand plans to document our day on Friday. I was going for an every hour sort of thing and then after the 3rd hour lost track I will shoot for next Friday though we will see I'm off on Friday's ( all the happy faces for a 4 day work week and the $$$ saved on daycare ) It was our February break from school so Grayson is home too. I get up at 6:15 on Fridays which is sleeping for me because during the week I'm up at 5 and I head downstairs to do a workout. I'm in a funk right now with that stuff but I still move my body. Today I did a 10 min arm video and 10 min lower body video. I stretch for a few mins and I'm done just in time for Grayson to come wandering down the stairs. I chug some water. Check in with Michael and head upstairs to get Marshall and Charlotte from their beds. They both woke up dry (we are in the throws of potty training and are still in pull ups at night for now) They charge downstairs yelling that they have to pee and demanding...
