We've had quite a week! For me, it's been kind of an emotional one. First of all, my hair is falling out! You find it everywhere! Evidently, it's very normal for women after pregnancy and my hair dresser warned me about it. BUT...I really didn't anticipate it falling out this much. No, I'm not walking around with bald spots or anything and thankfully I have alot of hair, but it's all over my house. Second, I spend so little time with my babies when I get home from work. The tired Mom is ready for their bed time so I can go to bed too but mostly I find myself wishing I had more time with them. Then, when there are two the small amount of time is divided. Cooper is the more demanding one at night so there are evenings that I hardly spend any time at all with Chloe. Add Maddie on Thursdays and I'm really feeling like a bad Mom! She is basically getting the left over time. That's why I decided that the girls and I would have a girlie day on Saturday! We went BOW shopping! Could it be any girlier!? Dad and Coop stayed at home and us girls went shopping. We headed to Old Town Katy and walked around to all the little shops in hunt of bows. We also happened across some other little cute things that have been added to wish lists! I really enjoyed the day and felt slightly better about the busy week that was behind us and the busy week I'm sure that is ahead of us. I guess that's what weekends are for!
Okay, aren't these pictures cute! I hope so because this little picture taking session caused me to miss a meeting that I set up! Yep...completely forgot about a meeting. I could have easily gotten there on time but Cooper and Chloe were being so cute this morning that I got carried away with playing with them and taking their pics that I totally forgot about my meeting. I dropped them off at Ms. Shelley's, chatted with her a little bit, got back in my car and decided to check my work blackberry and there it was...the reminder from my calendar telling me about MY meeting! This was another thing added to my emotional week! As I'm seeing the message on my blackberry my boss/principal is calling me asking me where I am! Those that know me can honestly say this is NOT like me! I've been beating myself up over this ever since!! No fears, my principal was so kind to step in and cover for me. Needless to say, after all that I had to share the pictures with everyone. Let me add that Coop was smiling too, just not when the camera was on!
My poor husband! His job every day is to pick the babies up by 4:30 from Ms. Shelley's which then puts him being back at home right at feeding time (5:00). By the time I get home, he's already fed both. We call this time the 5:00 blues. Both babies are so fussy for about a 2 hour time block. They say this will pass, please let it pass!!! This is Dad trying to comfort both while waiting for me to come home. Another emotional thought, who has time to be a good wife? I know, I'm really having a pity party, aren't I?
Play time! Mornings are the best. Both Cooper and Chloe are all smiles!!!
Hangin' with big sis!
Cooper and I played against Chloe and Maddie a card game of Go Fish! Cooper and I won...shhhhh.....
Bath times are getting a little easier. They are still trying to figure out if they like them. I have found that if I keep the water running it seems to keep them calmer. And, I'm all about the lavender baby wash. I truly think it helps them sleep better. Before, I always thought the whole lavender thing was baloney but they really are very calm and tend to fall asleep easily when it's bath night!
The end of our week!
