Sleep Disruption
I think that another reason this week feels tougher is because I’m on my sixth day of not getting a full night’s sleep. For two days Logan was getting too hot at night and waking up at around 11:30 for an hour, so I bought them cooler sleep sacks. Then for two days […]
Leading the Charge
The most interesting thing happened on Friday. Logan decided not to take an afternoon nap. And did great! He has pushed my “one nap plan” ahead by several weeks all on his own. I guess the couple weeks of a short morning nap helped him realize he was ready. Then […]
Naps, the ongoing saga
I recently decided to start moving the boys towards one nap a day. This is what happens when you are a stubborn person with twins, you like to be the one that controls the process as much as possible. Fully knowing that all of my plans may go up in smoke with the […]
slackin’
I’m slacking on intelligent, thought provoking or even half way interesting posts this week.
We had a round of fevers at the beginning of the week but today both boys seemed “mostly” back to normal and Logan even took his first nap in a week without a wake up (meaning I have to go in, he […]
15 Months
My darling little boys are 15 months old today. I find myself exhausted and tested to the limits of my patience by these two little toddlers who can tear up a house in seconds flat. They throw every pillow from the couch to the floor, they pull every blanket out of the cabinet, […]
sleep regression?
Logan had a hard time sleeping Friday night but it wasn’t unusual because we were in a new place. However, he’s usually fine by the next night but Saturday he skipped his afternoon nap and was a mess again Saturday night. Up and down screaming. Sunday night he had a few moments […]
bottle countdown
I’m not exactly sure how it happened since the transition was so gradual and unforced, but we are down to one bottle a day. First we had made it down to three a day, early morning and after each of the naps. The post-morning nap bottle was only 4 oz so it […]
What I Learned In the First 6 Months of Motherhood
Ask for help. You don’t have to do it alone, no one expects you to, especially if you have multiples. Let your friends and family know that it’s overwhelming and take whatever help they offer. Or better yet, know exactly what help you need and be specific.
Let others help. Lots […]
We’ve Come a Long Way, Babies
Today is Logan and Forest’s 10 Month Birthday. It’s strange to go back to my posts from earlier this year and realize just how much babies do grow and change in such a very short time.
Logan’s first word was “Buh Bye” just a week ago. But the first word that he actually understands […]
Three Down
Logan had a really rough night last night. I was really surprised because he has been sleeping so very well lately. I changed their naps and started cutting them to only 3 hours a day so their night time sleep has been wonderful. So last night Logan from the beginning was waking […]
