Swings, baths, and Cuddles

 Please daddy get that swing put together! 

Bryce is by FAR our needy baby out of the 2. So today I demanded there be a swing put in our home for him. He constantly has to be held or rocked so a swing seems like the perfect solution.  And I was right. As soon as I got the swing going he was perfectly content. As a matter of fact he stayed there most the night. I hate it but it works. And we have to go with what works for right now. 

Bryce loves bath time! That is another way I calm him.  Along with this sleep wash and lotion. I love it. I want to bathe in it myself! 

LOVE THIS I will always cherish it.

I  think they will end up looking just like Kendal. I already see it in Bryce. She was about 6 months old in the pic below.

 Sweet babies! Blake kissing his sister :D

 Blake will have a friend over but he still makes time to  hold a baby. Even his friend loves the babies. 

Brody gets his time in. Kendal loves to spoil him. He is more independent so I feel he doesn't get as much of our time. But tonight he wanted to be held a lot. Kendal is a great help. The other night when her dad was working she thought she would really pitch in and help take care of them. She kept picking one up and I kept having to get on to her for that. I watched her put a burp cloth over her shoulder and bend down to pick up a baby, I said what are you doing. She said " I have to burp this baby" I love her and her eagerness to help but some days it's a bit too much for her little self. But try telling her she is little :l 

Out in public we get a lot of stares and people coming up to us. They ask how old, what their names are, and how sweet they are. Twins are really fascinating.    I think they are too. I am very much fascinated with my babies :D

Busy, Busy!

 The kids are in school and I am taking care of babies around the clock. Twins are a lot of work. I can't even begin to explain it and no one would even understand unless they had a set for themselves. They are sweet but demanding. I would even say a little spoilt. We love on our babies a lot because they don't stay that way long. I am eager for them to get bigger just to see how they interact and the fun they will bring. Oh and maybe they will sleep through the night and feed themselves too ;) 

Kendal starts dance next week. She told me today she loves Kindergarten. The things she says and does amuses me daily. She is definitely a joy. My only girl  :D

She was eating ice cream today. And as I laughed at her I thought you are for sure my child. There's more on your face than in your mouth. A lot of her ways remind me of myself. Yikes...

Blake is now in 4th grade. He thinks he is so big. Which I guess he is. He thinks he has to have a friend over daily and be able to ride his bike all over the neighborhood. As I try to let him grow up it scares me also. I will tell him he has 20 minutes to go see his friend or ride his bike up and down the trails. He will check in every 20 minutes lol But at least I know he's safe every time he checks in. Parenting is such hard work! What to do, what not do is always weighing heavy on my mind. But making sure they are safe is my top priority. 

I love all my kids. I still cant believe I have 4. As much as I long for sleep or some time with my husband, I wouldn't have it any other way. Even though some days are hard I believe you take care of what God gives you. These days will go by quickly so I cherish the time we have now. I am busy but blessed! 

I'm seeing double

 Sister is so proud they are home!

 We don't always sleep but when we  do it looks like this. 

 Bryce is always crying

 Brody is always content. 

 Blake is such a proud brother :)  

We brought the babies home August 10th. We are so happy to  have them home. Although we have sleepless nights and our lives are really busy we wouldn't trade it for anything. These babies were meant to be here for a reason. And now I have all 4 of my babies  under the same roof. Praise the Lord. He is so good! 

3 months old and almost home.

 BRYCE LOVES ME!

 I spent a lot of time in the room with them and Bryce is such a cuddler and I couldn't put him down. I actually loved every minute of it. He is so precious. As long as Brody is fed and changed, he is fine laying in his bed. He loves to be talked to but he's not as needy as Bryce. I was told today to prepare for them to come home next time I come up. I am as thrilled as they come. Although home will be very stressful it will be a lot easier than going to the hospital all the time and not having any control over my own children. The past 3 months have gone by so fast but yet so slow. I have waited for the day they come home for eternity it seems like.  

I  have so many emotions! One is definitely bubbly. When I look at these babies and take care of them I know they are meant to be here for a reason. There is nothing sweeter than a baby. I adore them and feel very blessed to be their mother. I will do the best I can to take care of these little angel babies. As Josh and I pushed them down the halls of hospital people stopped and stared. Yes there are 2 of them. As everyone is fascinated by these babies it makes me realize that not everyone gets this privilege in life. Not every one gets to be a twin mom. What an amazing gift!  3 months of  up and downs and we are almost there. God has carried me through days I never thought I would get through. I will be so very happy when they come home. They are so sweet and precious. I love them so much :)
