So nice to hear an established mother feel the same way. And frankly, I like that dress quitealot.

I'm just glad they're both better sleepers than John Paul was!!!<br /><br />And boy are they a lot easier than they were at the beginning - now that they're willing to be put DOWN sometimes (rarely simultaneously), things are much easier!<br /><br />Although we have a whole new ballgame coming when they get mobile... Thankfully they only roll front to back so far, so we just don't give them tummy time :P But they're *this* close to back to front rolling, and I don't know how I'll keep up when they're both crawling!!! Clearly you've survived it, so I will too :)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888635342531960478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-80238575658639541452013-04-14T21:38:33.377-04:002013-04-14T21:38:33.377-04:00Rosie I love your dress and your mom.

You might still be exhausted most of the time, but it won't be because multiple babies are not sleeping every night. <br /><br />By the way, I saw on facebook this weekend that a college friend and his wife just had twins. They haven't left the hospital yet. So as tired as I am, I'm so, so glad not to be there again...starting at the very beginning with no idea what's coming. It makes me feel like some kind of seasoned twin-parenting superwoman. It also makes me realize that there are big chunks of the first six months of their lives that I just don't really remember.<br /><br />We had vomiting here, as well, and didn't even make it to Mass today.<br />Here's to a vomit-free Monday. (And I think you look lovely.)<br />Abbey @ Surviving Our Blessingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294464284257098902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-40005052595796027692013-04-14T15:48:51.308-04:002013-04-14T15:48:51.308-04:00You look lovely as always, and I love the messy su...You look lovely as always, and I love the messy suspenders. I, too, am guilty of those texts to the Hubs, and I only have two who are not breast feeding. I kind of feel like a hot mess most days. Thanks to your mom for that lovely story, too. It can feel lonely when you feel like everyone else has perfect children and even if they don't they are always bright eyed and joyful. <br /><br />We did ok at Mass today with only a couple reprisals of Veggie Tales in the midst of the liturgy of the Eucharist. I'll take it!

That's about all I can do for young families.<br /><br />But! I *am* your mom! So I will share with you (and your friends) one of the stories that you are tired of hearing. Your friends will enjoy it. I know that because I saw the equivalent story on somebody else's blog and now I can't find it. Grr.<br /><br />Once upon a time, when you children were roughly two, four, six, and eight, Daddy and I tucked you all in at night and went to sleep. It was a Thursday.<br /><br />At about midnight, one of you—let's blame Peggy, now Meg, who was six—woke up screaming. Both of us rushed into her room. Peggy had puked all over everything. So Daddy and I worked together to strip her, hose her off, rinse off the sheets and her sleeper, put them in the wash, put clean sheets on her bed, put a clean sleeper on her, calm her down, and get her to sleep.<br /><br />Then twenty minutes later, at about 1 am, another one of you—let's say it was Timmy, who was two—went through the same mess. At 2 am, the third one of you threw this party, and at 3 am we got a reprise with the last child.<br /><br />On Friday, the older three of you stayed home sick with Daddy while I went to work as usual, because I never had any sick leave to spare. Timmy was home, too, of course. So Daddy had to take care of all four of you on just a few hours of sleep. And I was at work ditto, though work was a lot less demanding than staying home with you kids.<br /><br />On Saturday, Daddy and I were still kind of zonkered, but you kids were all perky and well, which wasn't exactly restful for us. <br /><br />On Sunday, Daddy and I were still a bit out of focus, but nobody was sick, so we took you all to Mass. No cry room for any of you. And you all behaved just as you always did, which was kind of like having two John Pauls and two Cecilias. Not the best-behaved kids in the place.<br /><br />After Mass, a little old blue-haired lady tottered over to us. She clutched my arm and looked into my eyes. Daddy and I attempted to make sure that nobody ran away. "Oh, my dear," she said in a very high and slow voice, "treasure these years, for they are the best of your life."<br /><br />Though I wanted to yell "SHOOT ME NOW!" I politely thanked the little old lady. I see her point—now. But it is not reasonable to expect any young parent to treasure even half of their moments with their young children. Heck, I can't even do it when I'm helping you with them!Melissa H-Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674140433439195917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-89629439216271708352013-04-14T11:34:01.193-04:002013-04-14T11:34:01.193-04:00Love the dress!

You look beautiful!<br /><br />As my mother-in-law (mom of 8) used to say all the time when we were going through whatever particular difficult phase with whichever particular child, "This too shall pass." Your stories are so cute, and so funny. And when you're kids are grown, you're going to laugh about it all so much.Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.com
