Ramblings

I have so many thoughts running through my head...

Do I blog about how we are doing?

Do I blog about babies?

Do I blog about infertility brain?

Do I blog about baby schedules, or lack thereof?  

Do I blog about...well, I did it again...

Yesterday while driving the girls and I to Havre for a barbecue I wrote a blog post in my head.  And now?  Well, I've completely forgotten it!  Ha!

I've felt overwhelmed lately...like really overwhelmed.  I don't have time to clean my house and take care of my sweet twinsies at the same time!  I should post pictures of what our living room looked like yesterday, but I won't!  Let's just say hurricane baby happened, in a major way!!

The past week has been the perfect storm of traveling home from Alaska, adjusting back to Montana time (2 hour difference), and 6 month vaccines...

Oh and I haven't even told you about the 6 month vaccines...Harper was accidentally given a double dose of one of them...my heart stopped when they told me this happened.  I walked in shock for the next two hours...but we were assured she would be just fine...

But still, for the past week we've been dealing with mild vaccine reaction...a Harper who isn't sleeping well, fevers, fussiness...

And a mommy who feels like a complete failure because my babies are not on a set nap schedule...nope.  And I'm probably crazy because they aren't.  But you know what?  I have no clue how to establish that!  Currently they are both napping at the same time...hooray!  Hooray!

They both take morning and afternoon naps (just sometimes at different times), they both go to bed at pretty much the same time...but I live by knowing when they need a nap, I can always tell, and giving them one at that time rather than a set time.  I tell myself that eventually, by the time they are 1, they will be taking naps at the same time, ha!

But for now, we are surviving!  They turned 7 months old on Monday and we are surviving!  All four of us!  And both sleeping right now! 

That's enough for today.

Tomorrow will bring, well, heck, it could bring all sorts of things...spit up and baby food and tears (by both mommy and babies) and snuggles and giggles, and maybe even crawling...who knows!

And on Friday Grandma and Grandpa Skindlov arrive for a few days of rescue and help and baby snuggles!
