How in the world can these gorgeous angels cause all the mayhem in the next few photos?????







Projectile Poop!! On the walls, drapes, dripping on the carpet - an absolute mess beyond words.






Here is the chart to track what I am giving each girl in each of their bottles.





A look in our fridge with a day's worth of bottles waiting for the "angels".




What a crazy life these babies are giving us right now! Some of the things that are helping to keep us sane are the help and the supplies that we have on hand. It's been so wonderful to have the basement full of diapers and wipes of all sizes ready for the babies at anytime. No midnight runs to the grocery store for those- just a quick trip downstairs to grab some more. Thanks to all that gave us diapers at the baby shower, it was a great idea and really has been a HUGE help, well, when they use the diapers instead of using the walls, changing table and drapes like the picture shows!!!




We have still had a ton of helpers with the feedings and it has been great for me. I really appreciate all the time and energy everyone is giving us to help hold and feed our precious angels. They are good and sweet, there is just so many of them!!! I have been able to nap and even leave the house once or twice, both are the two things I need most to stay sane. Dave appreciates all the help that keeps me sane too. I have had 2 major meltdowns; one at 3am and the other for a whole day of me fussing. I needed sleep both times and eventually got it but not before being a complete jerk. I got a nap today and I woke up so happy I could have cried!!! What a treat in the middle of the week to have Gayle and Jill here so I could sleep. I usually only nap on the weekends when Dave and I take turns catching up on sleep so a mid-week nap was wonderful.
We are planning an outing with all three babies on Friday morning too. Gayle, Jill and I and the three little angels. I still need to decide where to go with them, I am thinking of going to a baby store to get one of those body wraps that straps the baby to your body so you are hands free. Brooke seems to miss having the constant contact of her sisters and now wants to be held all day long. She had a good day yesterday where she played under the playgym, had a bath and then watched her mobile until she fell asleep. It was a first and boy was I happy!! She usually wants to be held until she falls asleep and then you run the risk when you put her down.
Yesterday Sophia rolled over!!! She is amazing- completely content at all times unless she is hungry or messy. She responds well to all we do and tummy time was no exception. She lifted her head and her shoulders and after a few minutes of that she became fussy and wound up rolling over! She surprised herself and all of us.
Marleigh just hangs out- she just lays there during tummy time and will ocassionally lift her head slightly and turn it but she isn't really interested in the whole workout thing. Will she ever lose all that baby fat??????
Today Brooke cooperated with tummy time, lifting and turning her head. Yesterday she only lifted her tush as if to say, "kiss this. I'm not doing your stupid tummy time!" We just cracked up at her. Sophia rolled over, Marleigh just laid there and Brooke was obstinate.
Well, it's August 4th and I'm finally ready to post! See you next time.
