Easter egg Hunt with Cousin Allison and other cute pics..

This was taken last night before we went to bed...I reloaded the diaper basket and Sarah was having WAY to much fun in the box!

Another cute shot of Sarah in the box...Sad to say the girl have more fun with free stuff(well not really free but you know what i mean) than with stuff we actually buy them!

We made some rice krispy treats to decorate for Easter..Allison & Hannah made Easter Eggs..and the girls wanted to join in and eat the left overs! Mom helping Hannah & Allison make their Egg rice Krispy Treats...

The End!

P.S. I'll have another post later today about my 2 days of sleep training...BTW, it's going GREAT!!!!

The Sleep Problem in our house!

Well today was yet another day of getting up at 422am! I was so upset and frustrated! Thanks to my MOMS group and Wendy(a fellow mom with 5 month old twins), who just called out of the blue, after my frustrating email to my moms group this morning... i may have a few solutions to try out. Before i go through what i(we) have been doing so wrong...i want to say how helpful my MOMS group is to me! I really think it was one of the best things i could have done. I've met SOO many wonderful friends now, all going through or have been down the road we are traveling on right now. I'm just amazed everyday at how helpful these wonderful ladies are to me. I send out an email asking anything...and someone ALWAYS has a plan or help for me. ALWAYS!

So now on to the conversation(30 minutes to a lady that looked my number up on the yahoo group...i've never even met her before) with Wendy(by the way she has 5 month old twins who sleep from 10p-8a...that does sound impossible to me)! LOL! Anyway, she asked me all about the girls...i told her our schedule and she made a couple of REALLY good points. The Most IMPORTANT POINT...i'm a sucker(she didn't say this...but now i feel like one)...anyway back ot the POINT: Paul and i have always babied the girls...we hold them and snuggle with them at night and PUT THEM TO BED ASLEEP AFTER THEIR BOTTLE! The problem with this...they don't and have never learned to put themselves to sleep! We are always holding them to put them to bed...we put them down asleep! We did this with Hannah and STILL do...she falls asleep out on the couch(which is a REALLY BAD IDEA) and then we carry her to bed fast asleep! Anyway, it may take a while...but we're going to have to work on this and start putting them to sleep AWAKE! I'm not sure how yet...but we're going to probably feed them their bottles earlier..and then put them in their sacs and put them into their cribs while they are awake! I'm kinda embarassed...this sweet wonderful lady, who's twins are only 5 months old...is teaching ME...a mom of a 3.5 year old, how to get my girls to sleep longer. I'm embarassed...but hopefully i'll be thankful too! Right now, i'm so exhausted and at a loss for things to do...anything is worth a try. I do know that i'm only hurting my girls by not making them put themselves to sleep.

While ago, while i was on the phone Sarah came up to me and wanted me to hold her...she feel asleep right in my arms...because she's SOO tired from getting up so early. I told Wendy and she said...well you should probably wake her up...once again she wants you to hold her so she'll go to bed. I put her down on the couch to sleep for a couple of seconds so i could finish up my conversation with Wendy and woke her up...she'll just have to wait till it's nap time to sleep. It's not time now!

Anyway, it's time for a bit of tough love. We did it when we finally put them in their cribs and let them cry it out instead of getting up every night to feed them every 3 hours at 6 months...we're going to have to do it again!

I also figured out that i'm doing them another dis-sevice by putting them down for a nap...letting them cry for 15 minutes...sleep for maybe 30 minutes and then when they start crying i pick both of them up and sit down in the recliner and hold them to let them take a real nap. BAD BAD IDEA! That's another thing that's going to have to stop! I guess now if they get up...i'll just keep them up...holding them is once again not helping anyone! What was i thinking???

That's all for now...just some ramblings for the day...cross your fingers this works!

Dear Mommy & Daddy,

Sorry for waking you up so early this morning. I know 430a is REALLY early...but i was just ready to get up and play. My teeth are hurting and i had poop in my diaper. I'm also sorry for waking up my sister in the process. I promise to try to sleep later by the time i'm in Pre-K! HA HA HA! By the way, thank for letting me sleep on the couch and take an early nap this morning...i was EXHAUSTED from getting up so early...too bad you and daddy can't take a nap too! O yeah and also, THANKS so much for pulling Sam off of me and stopping her from pulling my hair while i took my nap on the couch...she's obviously not tired because she went back to sleep after i woke her up this morning!

Love,

Sarah

My girls Blooming Personalities!

I started this two days ago...but since Hannah skipped school yesterday due to her cough(lucky girl got to go to mcdonalds and eat unhealthy food and play at the big play area while her sisters were at school eating nutritious food..HA HA)...i haven't had time to finish up till now...a special thanks to the TELETUBBIES for entertaining my children for 30 minutes in order for me to finish this up this morning! :)

The girls are almost 15 months and i still look at them everyday and can't believe i have TWO! I tell Paul all the time...can you believe we have TWO(three total of course...but two the same age, two that look almost exactly alike, two girls...that will both have a built in best friend for the rest of their lives...OH how i wish i had had an identical twin...talk about some major pranks i could have played on people)? I couldn't even imagine my life with just one...things would be soo different...WAY TOO QUIET...I wouldn't be as entertained myself! LOL! My girls are truly the best part of my life...of course along with my hubby...and until i'm old and grey and have grandkids(LOL). But they are just so cute, sweet, precious and loving. I just love all 3 soo much and all for different reasons...well not different reasons but because they are all so different and have their own personality traits.


Hannah is so beautiful(of course because she looks just like her mommy)! LOL. She says the funniest things sometimes. I really need to start writing them down because one day i'm going to forget all of the funny things and i definitely don't want to do that. She's very smart...very motivated and not scared of anything. She will try anything new...a new ride, a new slide, a new swing, to ride a bike...really anything physical. She's also learning to write numbers and letters..which is so exciting! Lately, she's been dressing really funny. I keep telling Paul, we have a MAJOR punky brewster on our hands. I don't know if she does it on purpose, or if she's really that fashion challenged. She'll seriously put on purple socks, a pink shirt and green pants...and not only that, she'll put them all on backwards, inside out, or even shoes on the wrong feet. It's funny when we're not going out in public. When we do go out in public i do have to redress her! I think she will always be small and petit because she doesn't eat much...doesn't like much although her favorites are beef and pasta with cheese & garlic salt on top. She loves to talk about going to San Antonio and Mexico and has plans to go on vacation to both places all the time. There is a small funny story about Mexico...first of all we went there when she turned one on a cruise with my parents...second of all when the girls were born and all colicy the running joke was that one day i was going to pack my bags and leave the girls and go to mexico and come back in a couple of years! LOL...Anyway, She's great with the girls, although sometimes she gets a bit rough with them. She teaches them things they probably shouldn't know how to do...but that's all part of being a BIG SISTER! I'm sure they learn a lot of good things from her too...HA HA! The other day Hannah told me that her and her cousin Allison were going to ride Tractors for a living...when they get older. Oh dear...i don't know where in the world that came from...it's not like we live on a farm! She also told me one day she was going to drive her barbie jeep to school and ride beside my car so we could be in seperate cars and she'd drive herself home from school...just some of the funny things a 3 year old says! Before i forget...she is also the BEST dancer in the house...no wonder the twins love to dance so much!


Sarah is a sweetie but finally starting to defend herself sometimes. She loves to watch teletubbies & sesame street. Her favorite foods are: pancakes & mac n cheese and she loves snacks. She also loves to feed the dogs food. She's the earlier riser of the two...she normally just can't sleep as long. She will wake up first from naps & wake up first in the morning. Her vocabulary is: Out, Bad, More, mama, dada, & bye bye. She loves swinging on her swing, chasing her sisters around and loves playing outside. She LOVES to read books...she will sit in her room on the floor by the book basket and pull out one at a time and look through all the pics..she'll bring books to Paul and i and want up so we can read them to her. I think she's going to be our book worm...taking after my sister/her auntie Jennifer! Maybe she'll want to be a lawyer too...or even better a Dr! She definitely is a very strong willed baby. If you give her something she doesn't want she will take it and give it back to you or just drop it on the floor. For instance, you give her a piece of food she doesn't want, she'll just take it and throw it right on the floor. It's kinda funny...but i wonder what it's going to be like in 2 years when i have TWO Hannah's! LOL! O, that's going to be one fun adventure! Sarah weights right at 20lbs and has a total of 11 teeth! They don't seem to be gaining weight...but they aren't unhealthy looking so i'm not going to worry about it now!

Samantha is the rough and tough one. She loves to give Sarah "Love Bites"...well maybe not love bites..but she LOVES to BITE! LOL. At least once a day Sarah gets bit. Sam loves animals and esp loves laying and playing with Gracye and Sugar and is actually very gentle with both of them(maybe she'll be a VET). Sarah, by the way, is NOT very gentle with the dogs....she loves to pull hair and tails. Sam is so gentle with them...and some days will even nap on top of Gracye. Sam loves to Dance. It's hilarous how she has a better rythm than her dad! LOL! She can really move with the music. She LOVES to watch american idol...well maybe not watch it...but she loves to dance to the music when they start to sing. Samantha is very smart..and i can talk to her and tell her something and she knows what i'm saying. Both girls really know what i'm saying and understand me. When i say let's go put your jackets and socks on they run to get it done so we can go outside. They are both major climbers...or should i say..they are related to monkeys. They can climb on top of anything...as a matter of fact as soon as we move away from the dinner table we have to shove our chairs in or they'll be right behind you climbing up the chair to the table. They also climb into cabinets and shut the doors, climb into shelves a few feet off the ground & climb on to the top of the couch to look out the window. They have a couple of favorite hiding places...one is the kitchen cabinet that i emptied out because they'd pull everything out and it'd be all over the house. Another fun place they like to hide is under the crib. It's hilarious because they'll both climb under together and it's like they are having their own little secret meeting...maybe about how to over take their parents? HA HA! Sam is a bit heavier than Sarah...around 20.8 or so...and 11 teeth for her too!

It's so funny how two babies that were born the same day, are sisters, lived in the same place for 36 weeks 4 day & came from the same egg...are sooo different. The all do have one thing in common though...they are all SOOO LOVING in their own little ways. Sarah loves to give kisses and wants up all the time. Sam is ok by herself unless she's feeling bad or hurt...and my baby Hannah loves hugs and kisses most of the time. Hannah is so much like me it's scary! Everyday i look at her and i see a mini me!

On a side note: Sarah's molars are really grossing me out! We've been checking the bottom one that's been coming in for a while...it's been one big HUGE GIGANTIC bump for a few days now. So, yesterday i decided to look in her mouth and check it out. YUCKY! Out of all 3 girls, i've never seen anything so painful looking and gross. It seems like the big bump is being pushed up...and the skin and a bloody looking little thing is hanging off by a skin...but today i can finally see the tooth coming through. It looked SOOO painful. I felt horrible and thought at first that she may even have an infection in her mouth...today it looks better though. I just couldn't believe how yucky it looked!


On the health report, the girls are doing better today. Not so much snot...i haven't heard one of them cough all morning so far.. Now if we could just get rid of Hannah's horrible night time cough. OMG...last night she fell asleep at 7p, we slept on the couch again..she woke me up at 11p coughing uncontrollably...i gave her, her inhalers and she said she wanted water and gum. Gave her those and she calmed down some...i turned on the t.v for a bit, just for light in the room...she finally went back to bed. THEN again at like 2am..same thing. So then Ms. Sarah decided she was ready to get up at 430a! WHAT????? Come on girls! Mommy REALLY REALLY needs some sleep! My coffee intake the past few weeks has become out of control...i've turned into a hypocrite for preaching to paul about caffeine when all i do is consume coffee...and my 31 year old body feels like a 50 year old body! I think it's just a whole bunch of things rolled into one...teething, still a bit sick, and the really weird thing is the girls Poop in their diapers at night. We NEVER had this problem with Hannah...how do i make it stop?! I think that may be a big part of waking up in the middle of the night...but they poop ALL the time so i don't know how to stop if at night! UGH!

That's all for now...Happy Wednesday! I have the girls home with me for a whole week now. School is out Thursday for a pre Good Friday celebration(i'm assuming..LOL) and then next Monday GMA & GPA Myers are coming in...so we're keeping them home Tuesday! The girsl are soo excited about gma & gpa Myers coming in...Hannah can't wait for sure. They are going to have soo much fun. GMA & GPA are going to really freak out when they've seen how much the girls have grown since Xmas! It's going to be on crazy week...starting this Sat...cousin Allison is coming over...then Monday The Myers' get here and Allison is coming to play for the day...FUN FUN WEEK AHEAD! Sure hope the kidos get well and STAY well for all the fun!

Almost Done!

Look at THIS...ALMOST DONE! This is one big BAD playset! I know the swings don't match yet...but we're getting ready to order some really nice ones. But for right now, these will do just fine!

Paul did AWESOME this weekend! I'm so excited to say he's almost done. We have a few 15 month proof things to do...for instance we are going to close off that rock wall on the left so the kidos don't go flying down that...and we're going to put some boards behind the steps so that their feet don't go through the ladder when they are crawling up...o yeah and we still need the roof. But other than that he'd done! It looks awesome and the girls had a BLAST on the swings and slide today. We got rid of the old swing set our neighbor gave us...and we're getting rid of the doll house our neighbor gave us...so pretty soon we'll have just this in the backyard! It's soo nice! The one funny thing...the slide is so big and fast...the girls go down so fast the hit the ground and do a half flip most of the time...it doesn't seem to hurt though.
Sarah enjoying the swing
Sam wasn't quite to sure at first...but it just took a few minutes and she was fine!
Hannah LOVES her big girl swing!

This was about 10a...the girls are starting to just hit the floor for naps...i LOVED this stage when Hannah did this...she'd just fall asleep wherever she was when she felt sleepy! I have all sorts of funny pics!

Another shot of Sam sleeping on the floor!
Sarah thought she needed a pillow to sleep..so she flipped the chair upside down and slept on it like a pillow!
Paul working on the playset!
All the girls swinging! Look at those happy faces!!!

ROUND 2 of being sick!

Yep, that's right. Now they are really sick. Actually the twins aren't too bad...it's Hannah! She sounds HORRIBLE this morning! I mean HORRIBLE! I already did her albuterol inhaler & her other inhaler that goes along with it. I'm waiting patiently for them to kick in because she sounds like a hollow dog coughing up her lungs. YUCK! I guess this is just part of our lives. ONE day it won't be so bad...ONE DAY! When? I have no idea. I think this sickness is all a part of making all of us stronger. The kids stronger, because it builds up their immune systems. Paul & I stronger, because we're(no really i'm) up half the night catering to her every need...sleeping on the couch with Hannah on a beach towel so she doesn't puke up her guts all over her bed and wake up the babies. It's just so weird, the girls cough a ton too...but they just don't have that gaging reflex that Hannah has along with it. I'm hoping they all get better by Friday so Allison can come over and have our big easter egg hunt.

On another note, please keep praying for Sabrina & Brihannah, she sent out another email last night and poor Sabrina is really hurting(emotionally). She said it's so hard to only have one of the twins at home...it's something I take for granted. I have learned through this last year and a half that there are things i definitely shouldn't take for granted through meeting people who have children that are sick. Sometimes it really gets my mind going...could i ever be as strong as that person is...i sure hope so. But then i think..i can hardly deal with a child that has a cold...how could i deal with a really sick child? Emotionally, i'd be a wreck. After this past year and a half, i will never again take my children or health for granted. I truly thank God everyday, that we are all healthy. Which brings me to another point.

I had written a post back about a week ago...it's still in my saved file because i never really could finish it up between the sickness and everything else going on. BUT, right now, since the girls are busy playing together, i have a few minutes to replay the scare we had a few weeks ago.

Paul had an EKG come back irregular about 3 weeks ago now. He was told to get a second opinion...so he went to another dr. who told him the same thing. This dr. set up a Nuclear stress test(for his heart) and an ECHO. I called immeditaely and set up the Nuclear stress test for that Thursday and the Echo i set up for the following Monday. The Nuclear stress test entailed a plastic iv of barium being shot into his veins and pics taken, while he was on a treadmill. Then he'd wait an hour and go eat as much fat as he could and come back and do the MRI of his heart. When i say eat as much fat as possible i'm serious. So anyway, to make a long story short...he did the stress test and we waited and waited(those we seriously the longest days of my life). Then we went and had the Echo done the Monday my parents came over to watch all three(which on a normal occasion wouldn't happen). What really drove me crazy was that the Cardiologist that read the results that morning was in the room while they were doing the ECHO. OHHH How furious i was that she had said "Oh, Myers, Yes, i just read your nuclear stress test results"! WHAT? But she couldn't remember the results because she had read 9 test results that day. ERRR!!! So another TWO LONG days of waiting...and waiting and waiting. Lucikly after all that stress and my life flash before my eyes, everything came back normal. What they found out was that...his heart is just normally abnormal. Kinda crazy, but a relief! I was soo upset...my face was so broken out due to stress...i couldn't concentrate on anything. I could hardly function enough to make sure the girls were fed and changed those days. It was horrible! Anyway, we have yet to get back the results of the ECHO, but the Cardio said the most important results are the nuclear stress test and THANK GOD those came back completely normal. So all in fine over here now.

That's all for now folks. Check back later for pics of the finished playset(LOL). Just kidding....but check back either way b/c i am taking pics once a day...just so we can see the progress!
Happy Sunday!

Pauls making progress on the playset in the back!

Here is a shot at the beginning of today!

We had a great day today. The girls are sick...just coughing and congested...but in a good mood either way. I put some vicks on their chests before we put them to bed...that always helps them breathe a bit. I think this sickness is a mixture of the teeth...the weather and a cold. But i'm not a dr. so i could be totally wrong. Pauls been sneezing ALL day and can't breathe either (gonna make for a great nights sleep for me...while he's snoring)...so i have a feeling some is sinus from everything blooming!Hannah playing croquet for the first time.

Paul working on the big project! Looking good!
Just a cute pic of Sarah!

Sarah going for the shoes...again! She LOVES shoes!
Just playing around with hats today! Sam has the denim one...Sarah has her winter bunny hat on...SOO CUTE!

Now that the girls are wearing dresses...the boo boos really start. This happened today. She is a tough baby though...i didn't even realize it was all scraped up till i noticed blood all over her dress. Poor Baby!
Yucky boo boo! It was so bad she needed a BIG band aid...i cleaned it with lots of hydrogen peroxide and neosporin! It looked much better tonight! It was all better after we added a dora band aide on top of the regular bandaid!Enjoying the beautiful day on their new picnic table. Notice...Sarah fell off and is stuck underneath...i had to pull her out.
Hannah enjoying the day outside

What a good pic of Sarah!

Sam in her denim hat!
Another one of Sam in her denim hat!
One more...i know i know...but she's SOOO CUTE!
Sarah in her bunny winter hat! Look at that cute smile!

Sarah in her basket!
No fighting when they both get their OWN baskets! :)
Hannah picking her nose...i was just trying to take a pic...and this is what she decided to do for the shot! NICE RIGHT??? Can't wait to show THIS to her boyfriend one day!
Sam playing with poor Gracye!
LOOK AT THIS! MAJOR PROGRESS...Paul did AWESOME TODAY & i didn't even help. I watched the babies instead!
On another note: Please pray for my fellow MOM Sabrina & her baby Brihanna! Brihanna is a
micro premmie(25 weeker) who melody met while in the NICU. Last night she had to have emergency surgery and have the shunt in her brain replaced because it wasn't working correctly. Please pray for her family during this rough time!

Come on Girls...Sleep Past 5a...I know you can do it!!!

Well, our lives are back to the normal early hours. UGH! Why can't my girls sleep past 5am????? I'm so lost as to what to do. What have i done soo wrong. Today is a new day and with that i'm going to try new things. I'm moving their bedroom around today. Right now their cribs are on each side of the room...so they can peek through and see the other one. I'm now going to try to back them up to each other so they can't actually see each other. I hope and pray this doesn't bring on even more problems...like climbing out or over the top to the other crib. I guess it's worth a try. I'm just going to keep trying new things till something works. I've tried so many things already...I just don't get it. After the time change we had THREE GOOD days of sleeping till 6am. THAT WAS IT! I guess i'm selfish.....i want MORE of those days. I, MYSELF, want to sleep till 6am!!!! Darnit, Darnit....i want some sleep. Then on top of this darn 5am thing...i've felt guilty about waking Hannah up...so i let her sleep in our bed for the past two nights. Another BAD idea. She moves around like an earth worm. Kicking, hitting, slapping, sideways...anything you can think of, she's dones to both of us. Too bad we don't have another bedroom downstairs. She is still in totaly refusal of sleeping in the awesome brand new bedroom set sitting upstairs waiting for her. I have the sneaky suspicion she won't sleep in that awesome bed till the girls go up there with her.

On a happiers note, we had another nice date night out. Since my pre prego clothes are finally fitting me...loose i might add, i've been really motivated to get out and go on dates. Yeah, almost 15 months later and i'm finally getting this weight off my body. So with that, last night we went out and our favorite babysitter Terra came over to watch Hannah and the girls. We went to Cafe Red Onion, which is a fusion type restaurant. Paul didn't like it much the first time we went...but he's grown to like it. He doesn't like the whole..meat with fruit kinda thing...and all the plantains you'll eat...or the pineapple salsa....but i love the place. So, we went there. BUT here's the really ironic part. Our waiter, who was a great waiter by the way, totally remembered us from the last time we were there. How funny is that? The last time we were there...was probably almost a year ago! The girls were tiny...and we needed a night out. I cant' remember for sure...Julia might have even babysat for us. SO, anyway we were eating and he came up and said..."Hey, don't ya'll have twins?" I said "we sure do". With that we started talking and talking...his sister has fraternal twins who are maybe a month or two older or younger than ours. So he was telling us all about how much trouble they get into..etc. How did he remember after that long...i have no idea. Anyway, that alone deserved an awesome tip. How many waiters can remember someone who does not frequent a restaurant but yet still remembers the people??? So funny!

Today the weather is BEAUTIFUL...so we're going to work on the darn playsystem all day. Paul & Hannah are already out there...but i'm waiting for the dew on the grass to dry up before the girls and i go out. Plus after 2 beers last night and waking up at 5am...i'm kinda dragging this morning. We wanted cousin Allison to come over, but since the girls are sick again...i'm afraid she'd get sick...so we'll wait till next weekend to see her. They are coming over Sat morning for a Easter egg hunt! Last year we had it in the playroom upstairs b/c the girls were tiny and it was icky, rainy and cold outside. The year before that they had tons of fun outside at the old house...this year is going to be a blast. All the girls can hunt eggs...and Allison has already said she's planning on helping the babies on their first real easter egg hunt. FUN FUN!!

I have some pics to load soon. I kinda went crazy and bought the girls a ton of dresses...so i have a few pics of them in their first dress. Unfortunately, Sarah's poor little knee is ALL banged up from falling with a dress on...i have a pic of that too! Poor baby!

O yeah before i forget..i found this very interesting article that someone put up on the "how do you do it" blog. Interesting facts about identical twins!
http://cordis.europa.eu/search/index.cfm?fuseaction=news.document&N_RCN=29215

In a nutshell, it's saying identical twins are not as identical as we think....

I love reading stuff about twins...but i'm definitely partial to identical twin info.

2 Girls teething + lots of molars coming in + snotty noses = bad night ahead

The girls came home with snotty noses today. Nice that we just go over one bug(the virus) only to get sick again. I knew something was wrong b/c they got up once again at 445a this morning. We let them cry it out and they finally went back to bed. I actually had to wake Sam up at 635ish this morning b/c i was worried since she never sleeps that late. Anyway, they get home from school...Sarah's a bit fussy...both just oozing in snot. Then i notice Sam's shirt is drenching wet. Totally slobbering all over herself. We look in her mouth and low and behold she's getting her molars. I then checked Sarah's mouth and the two top ones are totally in...the bottom are breaking through..probably as i type this. It's going to be a yucky weekend. On top of that our favorite babysitter of all time is in town from college and wants to babysit for extra money. She's coming over tomorrow night...unless they are just so fussy and i have to cancel. We'll see how the act tomorrow. On top of all this...Paul has a insurance inspection at work in the morning...so he's going to try to go in a bit earlier than normal.. UGH...i hope we get more sleep than we did last night.

SO, with all the crying, fussing and drewling...we're going to let ms. Hannah sleep in our bed tonight...just in case the crying starts again. Sure hope it doesn't. I'm sick of coffee and being soo tired from not getting a good nights sleep.

As i keep saying over and over...i know this shall pass...but WHEN?

That's all for now...i'm headed off to sleep. I'm exhausted...so hopefully my head will hit the pillow and i'll look up in the morning and it'll be after 5a! That'd be REALLY nice!
