So for the past couple of days we've been living in a sick house. Both the boys have little colds and I caught it as well. It really freaks me out the they're sick because they are so little and it could turn into something worse. But so far they are doing okay and slowly getting better. They've only had stuffy noses and Kollin had a tiny little cough yesterday. No big coughs, no fever, they still eat great. so hopefully everyone will be okay., Being sick and trying to take care of twin infants is nearly impossible. The only things that keep me going is Kole, and sleep. Kole is such a big help when he's home from work, he's all about taking care of the boys and he even made dinner last night. and then also when he is working, the boys take naps when I do, so that helps a TON!!! Rest is the best when you're sick!
So my days have gone kind of like this....
Wake up
Feed babies
Normally I try to get a work out in, but not this week cuz being sick does not go well with working out for me!
Get ready for the day
Get the boys ready for the day
Make bed
Pick up room
Eat breakfast
Time to feed boys again soooo :
Make bottles and while they are warming up in warm water
I check their themperature(give them tylenol if it's a little to high-only one day did I have to do that)
I spray their nose with saline
change their bum
put baby vics on if they have a cough (vics on their feet before bed)
suck out their nose boogers
put a binky in their mouth and do work on the next baby.
Then I feed them (which usually takes an hour or so)
Then I pump.
Then I pick up the house, do dishes, laundry, and stuff that needs to get done and/or play with the babies on the floor giving them tunmy time as much as possible, if they are awake! Then I take a break, maybe eat some food and take a nap. Then They get hungry again... and the routine starts over.
During the day they eat every 3 hours. Like at 8 then 11 etc, etc... So because it takes an hour to feed them I usually only have two hours inbetween everything to do stuff.
Then When Kole gets home at 5 he plays with the babies while I make dinner and for the rest of the night we split responsibilities. We try to get them fed and in bed before 10. The last couple of nights we've all been in bed by 930 :) I turn on the Cold mist humidifier and we all falll asleep to the soothing sounds of a fan(humidifier--I LOVE white noise, I sleep so much better) Thankfully the boys are getting bigger and sleeping longer in the night. They go for about 5 hours (from the time they started eating last)(last night was 6!!) and then wake up to eat. Then they sleep another 2-4 hours and then are up for the morning. Sleeping is getting better! I can't wait till they sleep throught the night and we can move them into their room, although I am going to miss the humidifier and the noise it puts out.
And so this post isn't super boring I decided to show some recent pictures:
Kollin loves the fish on his swing!
Kleyton's hair is getting long enough to spike!!
Kollin got huge in the last couple of weeks! On monday we weighed them.. Kollin is 9lbs 6 oz and Kleyton is 7 lbs 13 oz
Wearing 0-3 months outfits now!! :)
