this day was tuesday 7.15.08
6am fed both boys, held joey 20 minutes, then put him back in the bouncy seat (both boy are sleeping in these right now because reflux makes it so hard to be n their backs), fed ronnie and held him until 7:30, so probably about 45 minutes.
Ronnie peed on his pajamas while being changed, so i put new ones on. .one of my favorite outfits..his bear pajamas from gymboree..and it is super tight! yikes, they are getting so big.
7:30 back to bed to get just a tiny bit more sleep..
9:30 woke up to babies crying, ron leaving for work (im sure he was sad to go then..haha)..got bottles ready, fed in bed. turned on the TV (usually i go into the office and watch TV because it helps to keep me alert while feeding, but when ron is gone I can watch the tv in bed). i think we watched bringing home home baby..i don't know how i can still watch all of those shows, but i do, haha.
held both boys for half hour each..
11 am enjoyed (very much) a cup of coffee and read the boys a book, because they were both so alert
11:30 ronnie had a nice big ol poop, which was great because i was going to call the doc today if he didn't..it had been 2 days, and he was acting very uncomfortable, and since he is eating food with iron, and thickening food with rice cereal with iron, i was a bit concerned that was making him constipated. i was so excited i was singing too him about his poop..the things motherhood does to you!
after the poop!
12 pm took a shower, but both boys were very antsy, so it was a short one, so we could get bottles ready again
12:30 fed joey.held for a half hour
1pm fed ronnie..kangaroo'ed him for about an hour after (oh yeah, i have given up the every two hour feeding for now..yesterday he showed me how much he didn't want to be woken up from naps to eat, by spitting out most of what i tried to feed him..sooo instead i am taking longer to feed him,and holding him longer..
2 pm put ronnie down to join joey in the pack n play for a nap..they will only sleep on their bellies right now, so i have to monitor them the whole time.
finally ate breakfast..haha
2:30 took the dogs out really quick to pee
started on some laundry
cleaned kitchen
began lengthy task of cleaning bottles..the one thing that takes up waaaay too much time.
3:15 called grandma to tell her she could take her time (she was coming over to watch the boys while i ran to babies r us) because the boys were sleeping so good..
3:30 both boys wake up at the same time..screaming ensues, scramble to get bottles ready
feed ronnie first, give joey a little bit of his bottle while he is sitting up on his boppy pillow to tide him over.
3:45 grandma gets here, hold ronnie for me while i finish feeding joey
4:45 leave to run my errands (ups/babies r us/coffee ;)
6:15 home to very fussy (hungry) babies, fed ronnie, grandma held him, then fed joey
7:30 grandma leaves, i get back to work...finish cleaning bottles and do another load of laundry
i realize that i never ate lunch, and eat a pickle (nutritious!)
the boys are relaxing in their bouncey seats..joey is asleep and ronnie is in "take it all in" mode...just looking around
so i take some time to sit down and chat with him....i really want to clean our bathroom..but these moments of being alert i really love and want to take advantage of.
8 pm ron gets home, we start watching the all star game..and shortly after ronnie gets fussy, so i get the bath ready and bathe both boys...which is so much fun, for me at least :)
9pm feed both boys.yet again ;)
after they eat i lay them down in the pack n play on their bellies, because we will be right there watching the game
9:30 eat dinner (ron's awesome chicken nachos)! things were timed well tonight, so i don't have to hold a baby while eating...oh simple pleasures :)
after dinner wash bottles again
figure when the game is over we'll take the boys upstairs to feed before bed..
well...the game doesn't end until after 1, and ronnie started fussing while i was still cleaning bottles..so...
12 am fed the boys downstairs, took the upstairs to watch the rest of the game..
2 am finally went to sleep, they are in their bouncy seats right next to my side of the bed
3 am..time to eat!
4:30ish, back in bed
6 am..time to eat!!!
7:30ish back in bed, let ronnie sleep on my chest because he was throwing up..
8:30 time to eat!!!
make some coffee and start the day!
well there you have it..last night was actually kind of a long one...they have been sleeping at least 4 hours once a night and as much as 5 hours, but they must have decided i was too well rested :)
im gonna add pics to go with the story later today..
