Ramblings of a sleepy mommy

Teeth and 6 month shots = crabby not sleeping babies.


The last two nights, the babies finally slept through the night again (all of them). For a week and a half before that they have been getting up again. With most babies if they wake up at night you can ignore them for a bit and let them fuss themselves back to sleep. With 3 there is always the fear that one fussy baby can quickly outnumber you in the middle of the night by waking up the other 2.


Last night the babies slept great, but I wish I could say the same for me. I have this reoccurring dream that they are in bed with us for some reason and I wake up with the fear that they are going to roll off the bed (because I'm sleeping and not paying attention to them). The dreams are vivid enough that I wake up and look around for them...then realize it was a dream. This happened several times last night. Believe me, at 3 am those bumps and shadows in the covers can look a lot like a baby you were just dreaming was right there.


So the lack of sleep and extra coffee has me pondering some goofy things...like hamburger.


hamburger = beef patty on a bun
turkey burger = turkey patty on a bun
cheeseburger = cheese + beef patty on a bun
bacon burger = bacon + beef patty on a bun
boca burger = soy non-meat patty on a bun


So why isn't a hamburger pork and/or a beef patty with ham?

Too funny about the dreams. I had them too early on and it was strange since we had never put the babies in our bed. Hope you get some good sleep soon!

35 Weeks

Image
A couple weeks ago while in the hospital I was just hoping to make it to 34 weeks, and here we are at 35 weeks...only 8 more days to go. I had a doctor appointment on Friday and the babies still looked great, so it's up to me to take it easy for one more week and drink a whole bunch of water to keep the contractions away. My belly is really starting to feel heavy when I stand up and while sitting, as it rests on my legs. In all I'm still not all too uncomfortable. Yesterday was my 29th birthday. I was thinking about how people always want to reflect back and say they are still 29...I'm sure my hugeness isn't what they are imagining. I've been upstairs for the most part lately, avoiding the steps. So instead of taking my pictures in my usual spot I had to find someplace upstairs. I'm in front of the babies room door. For fun I took pictures from every angle. Hopefully I'll get one more set of pictures next week.

Yarrrr

It was a nice day and we couldn't help but take our little buccaneers to the park and of course by the water. Yes, today was talk like a pirate day...yarrr. We've been working on getting them to hold our hand while walking in public. If they don't hold our hand they get carried. Their response was if, if you are going to hold my hand I'm going to sit. Two of them sat half way across the bridge so we had the third sit and hoped to get a picture of all three. The following pictures are what we ended up with.

The Floor

For some reason it is just so much fun to throw food on the floor... The babies have gotten really bad over the last few days about throwing food on the floor. They will scoop up huge hand fulls of food and just chuck it. The other day I came up with a solution that seemed to work, I gave them spoons. I helped them put food on the spoon and get it into their mouths. Ethan was even picking up food and placing it on his spoon and tried to get it into his mouth. I just hope the novelty of the spoon doesn't wear off too soon, Missy (our dog) is getting a little chunky. Ethan Logan Leah
