Who Woulda Thought?.....




Yup who woulda thought that just a few years after I got married I would have three CRAZY boys! My priorities would switch from work to breastfeeding and maintaining sanity. That my love for shoes and purses would switch to diaper bags, strollers and good buys at Baby Gap. Sigh.... I have to admit sometimes I miss just being able to leave the house no worries, heck I miss being able to leave the house. But I wouldn't trade that for the world. Speaking of Strollers my mom just picked up a great buy on a used Valco twin in Vancouver and sent it out. Instead of paying 800 for a new one I only paid 450 for a used one! AND I can mount a third seat on it for Trace... so who knows.. maybe I will be able to get out of the house. We are going to try it this week and go for a mall walk with my friends. We will see how that works... 4 ladies, 4 strollers, 8 children... I THINK WE ARE CRAZY! 2 of us are breastfeeding so at least we won't just be stopping for me thank goodness. Will update after the trip... who knows what will happen.
Ever since my mom left I have had dreams of moving home, a home... where the help is abundant and the friends and family are plentiful and the rain is ALL the time! I am so happy that I had help for the first few months as we are now somewhat established.. the boys sleep for 5 hours at a time now and we are somewhat sain at the end of the day. But to be around my parents and Kyle's family... would be such a prayer answered. Ah well a girl can dream right?
In other news we have shots this Friday for the twins... 4 months already! Where is this time going? Pretty soon I will be making baby food. I am going to the shots alone with them which kinda scares me. Don't know how exactly it is going to work but it will have to. Ah well. I look forward to seeing how much they weigh and how they are doing on their growth charts! Well they are stirring.... time to go!

Visitors??




Well the visitors have come and gone and now I am really on my own every day... frankly it sucks. I love the adult interaction and conversation during the day. To be able to sit down and have a coffee in the morning and chat with a friend or my mom was priceless. Now what am I going to do. We have been pretty busy around here lately and now things are going to slow down a little... sigh. Trace is still getting his first four molars in and come 4pm in the afternoon things get a little scary around here.... yesterday we had a 2 hour cry fest. yuck!!!
The twins are doing really well and probably weighing in over 10 lbs! CRAZY how fast they grow. They are still not sleeping through the night but only getting us up once which isn't too bad. Kyle still wakes up with me so really it only takes about 30 minutes and we are back in bed!!
I have been dreaming lately of moving back to Vancouver and being close to all of our families, being away from them since 2002 has been really hard, I just don't want the kids to grow up so far away from all of their family. But I figure if it is meant to be it will happen... and if not things will happen up here!
Well... off to feed the boys again... the never ending process haha!!
