Morning Madness

Thank goodness I have pillows!
Wow sometimes it can get pretty harried around here! If both babies are needing to eat and Nicholas is needing me and Max wants something, sometimes I laugh and sometimes I cry. I usually try to hold my babies when I feed them but at this particular moment they were hungry and Nicholas NEEDED his mom! So the pillows would have to do.
It gets hard, I am not going to lie.
It gets redundant, tiring, emotional, stressful and some days I am just dieing to get out of my house. Most weeks it will be four days before I step foot out of my house and I am just yearning for change, the sun, conversation...anything!! This is definitely challenging in so many ways. I adore and love my kids, I love how close these boys are and I just have to tell myself that "this too shall pass" but then I feel bad and I am not sure I want it to pass so quickly, they won't be babies forever or for very long. I have to tell myself that there is a time and season for everything and someday I will be able to leave my house, go to the store when I want or even to the bathroom at my leisure. But for now this is my place, this is where I need to be and most days this is where I WANT to be.

Love these Bumbos (blue and green seats),
definitely a must for babies especially two of them!

Morning Playtime

3 Amigos
Chayce, Nicholas, Chandler
These three are so sweet! I adore them and I am so grateful that they are all so nice, even tempered little guys. I think they will grow up being the best of friends and probably get into a whole lot of trouble together.

Guess who is 4 months old...

I cannot believe that it has been four months since I gave birth to these two sweet, perfect baby boys. They are awesome.
We get to celebrate:
2 Smiles
2 Cries
2 Diapers at a time
2 Bottles
2 Blankets
2 Onesies
2 "You are the most wonderful person, I adore you" gazes
2 coos
2 Burps
2 spit ups
2 more worries
2 coughs
2 giggles
2 snuggles
2 squeals
2 in one bed
2 to make our family complete!Chad gave me this necklace for mother's day this year. It has the initials of all of our kids and the motto I live by (It helps me to remember even if Life doesn't always seem like it's good...it's still good).

Chandler and Chayce

They are always holding hands. I love that!!

Chandler and Chayce
They are now 4 months old,
Chandler weighs 15 pounds 2 ounces and
Chayce weighs 15 pounds 6 ounces.

They eat every 3-4 hours during the day.
They sleep 10 hours at night, in the same bed.
They squeal and coo and giggle.
They rarely cry and love to be held and talked to.
I absolutely love their "You are the best person ever and I adore you" gaze...it doesn't get better than that.
Life is Good!

Chubby Cheeks

Look at how chubby they are getting.
Chayce likes his pacifier (pluggy) Chandler does not. His is just for decoration so we know who is who. Chandler is stronger than Chayce, they say that is typical for baby B to be stronger than baby A. I am sure he will catch up. They are sleeping about 10 hours through the night. They are smiling and giggling and love to see their brothers and sisters faces. They are a pure delight.

Can you believe how much these two boys are looking just alike?? It blows my mind to see them so similar.
I still am in shock at having TWO babies.

Last night they were sleeping and I couldn't believe how their arms are out like that, they love to sleep right next to each other, it's so sweet. There little cheeks are getting so fat...I love it!
