About to go to bed. Rocking Elijah. He was fussy. Jay is with Noa she just keeps screaming:(
The Twins: Day 39
Jay decided to go running. Everything was going well. Then Isaac wanted some ciniminon rolls that I told him I would make for Well I had to feed Elijah a bottle first. Noa started getting upset. Isaac got upset. So I had two babies crying as the other one was chillin on his bottle.
Mary came in town. We ordered chinese and hung out with the kids while jay went bowling with the youth.

The Twins: Day 37
Salena and I had a great time. We just fed babies. Well I did two feedings there because it wasn't worth going down for one feeding. So I didn't leave salena's until after 5. I went to get Isaac. He had a great time!!! We finally got home and of course it was time for the babies to eat again. So jay had bottles ready for them. My parents ce over for a little visit. I laid down with Isaac around 8 and was out!!!
It was a busy day but great!!! I love to be able to accomplish big tasks like that!!

The Twins: Day 31
Ivey headed home today. Whitney came by and took her to the airport. They were both nervous about leaving me with all three kids alone. Well not nervous but they felt bad. I got Isaac down for a nap!! Theft wasn't too bad. Well I was hoping to get a few things done while they all slept. Before long both babies were sceaming. I finally decided to feed them. I finally got them both calmed down. I decided to take some pictures of them. I feel bad that I never tale pictures of them. There just isn't ever time!! So I finally took some. One month pictures I guess;). Not long after that Jay got home.
I decided to go out. I needed to get Drew a birthday present. I finally got out! All alone!!! I drove!!! I felt so free!!! :-)
I bought Jay and I steak and shrimp. It was good!!! Isaac actually ate some steak. He really enjoyed it!!!
Bed Time!!!!!

The Twins: Day 29
Went to the Ash Wednesday service. Jay and I decided to take turns to the different services. He went to the early one and I went later. It's easier than backing everyone up and taking them out. Even though I can drive I had already made plans with Kim to come get me so I just kept those plans. It was a great service!!

My cousin Ivey was flying in so my dad brought us all home and then went back to the airport to get Ivey.
My mom came over and my dad got back with ivey. We had a house full for a little bit. Then jay got home.
Noa was up most the night. I finally got her to sleep on my chest in the living room on the couch. We slept for about 2 hours then it was time to eat again.

The Twins: Day 27
I took a shower this morning and noticed that they left a staple in me from my incision from the c-section. So I have to go tomorrow to have that removed. The twins have a doctors appt in the morning also but if the roads are bad I might just reschedule it.
I realized tonight when I laid down next to Isaac in our bed (yes, he sleeps in our bed, one day we will work on that... but today is not that day:) I realized how much I love my children!! You know this is hard at times but man do I love them! And I have a great husband who loves them just as much as I do and loves me! Even when we don't get to spend much time together because we are feeding babies or changing diapers or entertaining a two year old... we still know how much we love each other!

The Twins: Day 26
Jay had youth tonight. Thankfully, the Putman's asked if Isaac could come over and play. I'm not sure what I would have done if he stayed here. The twins were constant the whole time Jay was gone. Judy came by to pick up some laundry and helped me hold one of them while I changed the other. Then Whitney and Drew came by and helped hold babies for a little bit. They ate dinner with me and had to head out. Before they left we laid both the babies down in their crib. As soon as they were out the door Elijah was up crying. I changed him and then Noa started waking as well. I got them both in my wrap and carried them around while I was trying to make their bottles. They were both screaming. By the time I got both bottles made they were asleep. I finally got to sit down! We just sat for a while. Then I got them both fed right before Jay got home. Whew, what a night! I told Jay I was expecting to put them down and get some stuff done around the house! Yeah right like that happened!!!
BTW... Happy Valentines Day! I took a few other pictures of the twins. Isaac didn't want to have anything to do with pictures so its just the twins. And Noa was all fussy... So not the best but it captures our Valentines day! I'll post them soon!
Happy Valentine's Day!

The Twins: Day 25
Jay went out with the guys to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch. When Linda left I thought it should be easy to get Isaac down for a nap and we could all nap until Jay got home. It didn't work that easily. Of course. Both the twins started fussing, Isaac was kicking his door in his room because I finally just locked him in there hoping he would fall asleep. After a while he just started playing in his room. Jay finally got home and of course Isaac laid down with him!
I was dying to get out of the house. So after a late decision we loaded up and went to Best Buy. It was 7:30 before we left the house. By the time we got everything ready and then the twins got hungry and Jay decided to feed Isaac, it took us forever to finally get out! We got a few good looks at Best Buy pushing our huge stroller around the store, but I'm sure that is just the beginning!
It was good to get out. I realized today that I have been dependent on other people for 3 1/2 months now. Between bedrest and the c-section I haven't been able to drive at all. So I have had to rely on others to take me places. I have to say it is starting to get old!! I'm ready to drive!! Just to get out every now and then gives you a little sanity!!

The Twins: Day 22
Jennie came and helped me today. Its great to just have an extra set of hands!! I got a good 2 hour nap in between feedings. Christin and Piper brought Isaac home after school and they stayed and played a little. Jay got home soon after that. We are both like zombies right now... We just do what we have to every night to get ready for the next day. We are making it through though!! I have to say it is hard but its all worth it when you look at those two precious babies! And that one adorable 2 year old!! And to see him look at them just steals your heart away!! He loves them so much!! I'm so glad for that!
Night, Night!

The Twins: Day 21
Everything was going good and then Jay left and it went crazy! Both the babies started crying they were hungry. I was trying to calm them and get their bottles ready. Isaac was being good but right at my side wanting to help. I was in the kitchen trying to get their bottles out of the refrigerator when I almost dropped Elijah. It was awful. Luckily I caught him before he went down! He just reared his back and basically jumped out of my arms. It scared me to death!!! I went and put them both down in their Moses basket and just let them cry while I got their bottles ready. Then Isaac wanted to stand in his rocking chair with the refrigerator door open. So I had to tell him no and get him down. He started screaming so I had 3 screaming babies at once. Finally I got both bottles ready and all set up for the feeding. Isaac got over his fit and came in to help me feed the babies. We were all better at that point! Right at the end of the feeding my dad gets here! Of course, perfect timing:)
Better go finsh pumping so I can get some more rest.

The Twins: Day 20
My day was great! The morning started with Christin and Piper coming over. Piper played with Isaac. It was great for him to have a friend over!! Christin helped me with me morning feeding. Then Alexis came and helped out tons!!! Thank you both you helped me out so much!! Alexis thank you so much for cleaning!! And letting me take a good long nap!! Isaac slept from 1pm-5pm (maybe even 5:30). I finally laid down about 2:30 and slept until 5 or 5:30. It was great. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. My sister and Drew came by too but I was napping so I didn't even see them. They held Noa. Jay got home I think around 3:30 and came and napped with Isaac and me.
Its been a great day! So thankful to have such great friends who are willing to help me out!! Thank you, Thank you!!

We had a Youth Super Bowl party tonight. We loaded everyone up and headed to the Lane's house. There we found some great babysitters!! All the youth loved the babies! Of course how can you not?!? ;)

It was great to get out tonight. Even if it was just for a little bit. Jay and I thought about going to a movie but we figured we would both fall asleep during the movie:)
The twins are starting to be awake more and more. They are still good babies though! They are both in bed and we are heading to bed soon! With Isaac at Whitney's house we are hoping to be able to sleep in a little in the morning after the 5AM feeding!!

The Twins: Day 16
After Cracker Barrell Jay dropped me off at Target. Had to get s few things. Whenever I'm out I feel like I'm in a constant daze. Not sure how much of that is the pain meds and how much is lack of sleep. Probably both combined!
All 5 of us had a great afternoon nap!
