Bad night

So the twins have been sleeping thru the night for 6+ months now & last night Joey decided to have a bad night.  He got up at 1am I tried rocking him to sleep for an hour & he kept falling asleep on me but as soon as he went in the crib he would wake up crying.  So finally at 2am I had to lay him down & let him cry it out & finally at 2:50 he went to sleep, or maybe I went to sleep, I cannot remember, but I don't think I heard him anymore.  I felt HORRIBLE letting him cry, but I know it was something I had to do.  I think he's coming down w/ a cold b/c he kept coughing all night.  So when my alarm went off I so badly wanted to just hit snooze.  To say the least I'm exhausted today.  I think I'm about to go get a 5 hour energy at lunch. 

Tonight Grandma & Grandpa are stopping over to watch the twins for a bit so DH & I can run out to the store.  Other then last night they are doing great.   They go to the doctors in a week for their 9 month well check up.  They'll be 9 months on 11/5/10, WOW i cannot believe it.

Oh Boy!

First I wanna say Happy Birthday to my dear husband!!

I had the evening from hell yesterday!  From the moment I walked in the door from work the twins were so whinney & just crying till the time they went to bed.  I seriously almost lost it.  Then my husband decided to go psycho on me last night when we were going to bed one reason is b/c he didn't have his Zoloft to take. 

I'm so very tired right now.  I didn't make it to the gym last night b/c I was completely exhausted (no excuse) I should have gone to make myself feel better mentally & physically. 

Monday's How I hate them!

Well made it thru the weekend!  I'm so exhausted.  My DH went out Saturday night and was completely worthless yesterday.  I had to do everything from the twins to making dinner & doing laundry as he just laid on the couch. 
I haven't been to the gym since Wednesday (UGH)!  I feel disgusted, but Thrusday the twins were really needy & I had to cook some baby food & then Friday we went out for dinner & I watched my nephew for a couple hours.  Then Saturday I went to Falloween w/ my BFF Pam & her 1.5 year old daugther & then went to dinner & then the neighbors house then home & I couldn't go cuz I was home w/ the twins by myself.  Sunday well look above I didn't have time to go w/ everything I had to get done.  Anyways I WILL be going tonight no If/ands or buts!!!! 

The twins are doing good.  They'll be 9 months on Nov 5th.  They are maturing more & more every day it just amazes me.  Joey is constantly pulling himself up on everything in sight & so is Addi, but she gets stuck when she's up & cannot figure out how to get down & will start crying.  They both have been crawling for a couple months now, but Joey started doing the hands & knees crawl a few weeks ago, but just this weekend Addi graduated from the Army crawl to the hands & knees.  Bath time is no long fun b/c of the constant wanting to stand up.  It's more like a "bad" chore for me.  I'm trying to clean one as the other one is standing on the edge of the bath tub & when I tell them no then Joey just laughs at me.  Please oh please just don't let them fall in the tub & hit their head.  By the end of bath I'm sweating like I just got done running a marathon or something. 

The best feeling though is when I was going to leave for work today & I was standing in the front room & Joey crawled up to me & pulled himself up & started whinning/crying wanting me to pick him up.  So I did & kissed him & told him I have to go & put him down w/ his sister.  Then he followed me to the door & stood up and watched me walk to the garage.  So heart breaking but a wonderful feeling.  I absolutely love being a MoM.

Happy Friday

Well I had to miss the gym last night b/c the twins have been very, very cranky the past few days & Joey has not napped in 2 days & so b/c of that as soon as I walked in the door from work all he wanted was mom & he was not happy unless I was holiding him so that was basically my whole evening.  So anyways I took the iniative to make them some food after they finally fell asleep for the night.  I peeled & boiled some carrots, potato's & apples.  I feel alittle better that I actually have something for them to eat now for the babysitter. 

I really don't understand why Joey is not napping & why they are both so cranky.... I know Addi has her two front top teeth coming in so I know her reason.  Joey I don't feel any teeth coming in so I don't know what his problem is, but they are sure keeping mom on her toes, UGH. 

Ok, now I have to try to get thru this day of work so I can go home and kiss my babies & play and hopefully relax & go to the gym. 

I cannot wait for GLB to finally put out their most famous beer "Christmas Ale" oh where are you?!?!?!?

Hump day!!

Well there really is nothing new to report.  The twins are doing great, I'm just struggling w/ trying to find them foods to eat since they are not on pureed anymore.  I'm going to have to google baby food recipes or go to the library & get a book. 

I went to the gym again last night & I am starting to remember what it use to feel like to workout again.  I'm feeling so good & it's only been two days.  I just need to keep up w/ it & go 5 days a week like I use to.  My goal is to be able to wear a size 12-14.  I don't know if I'll ever be able to get back into a size 7-8 like I did 6-7 years ago when I lost 60lbs b/c I was much younger then.  I will be very, very happy to be in a 12-14. 

So this morning when I walked into Joey's room to get him he was standing up in his crib (my little stinker).  He's prefected the standing now.  Addi was still asleep when I left for work, which upsets me b/c I like to say bye & give them both kisses in the morning.  So I really need to find them a halloween costume, I've been putting it off long enough now. 

Ok, that's enough for now it's time to get to work.

I really need to keep this update more often & of course I'm still learning on how to use this & how to add stuff. 

The twins update

So they've been crawling since about 7 months & they started pulling themself up when they turned 8 months. I'm just waiting for them to start walking. Their 9 month appt is on 11/4. They both have their two bottom teeth for about 3 months now & just today Addi's two top teeth broke thru.

Addi still has congestion in her chest & has since birth. I can hear her breathing sometimes, and I have mentioned this to the doctor at most of their other appts. and at first they told me to sit her up more when feeding her, but it still has not gone away. I will mention it to the doctor at their 9 month check up. I am just worried b/c a couple times when I was changing her diaper it seemed like she gasped for air, but I didn't know if she was playing or it was really happening.

Joey is doing great they were alittle concerned about his "big" head & possible water in the brain, but a few weeks ago I had a follow up for it & his head was starting to measure w/i the charts & seems to be slowing down w/ growing and his body was catching up to his head. Thankfully.

Here is a recent picture.... 8 months.

Working out!

Yesterday I finally went to the gym, yes I got my fat ass off the couch after the twins were asleep. I did 45 minutes on the elliptical & I think I might have over did it for the first time back in almost 1.5 years. I also did some arms. I felt awesome, the high was just amazing. I almost forgot what it felt like.

What got me to finally start watching what I eat & going back to the gym is I went to get my hair cut last Thursday & I saw myself sitting in the chair and OMG talk about fat hanging from every corner on my body. I have never ever been this big. I was totally disgusted with myself.

I will be going back today to do the elliptical again & some legs.
