Of course, I said yesterday’s would be brief, too, but it really wasn’t. Oh well…we’ll see how long this one turns out to be!
Erin is sitting on my lap right now. She should be sleeping, but with her cold/cough, she isn’t sleeping or eating all that well these days. Poor kid!
Okay, I just put her down and gave her a toy to play with.
This morning our electricity went out for about 15-20 minutes. I have no idea why. But I’m glad it’s back now. It’d be a hot day not to have A/C!
My grandparents are stopping by on their way to my parents house today. Karen and J (and maybe Erik) will be joining us to, for a bit. I decided that meant I needed to clean up my house for real. So this morning, I’ve walked, watered plants, changed the crib sheets, started a load of baby laundry, tidied up my downstairs, vacuumed the living room, switched out the babies’ play blanket for a clean one, dusted the downstairs, took out various trash bags, tried on the new shirts I bought yesterday, and took out the recyclables. Now I just need to keep working on laundry and empty/refill the dishwasher. Man, have I been busy!
Yesterday I went to a park to hang out with a friend. We walked around and talked. Very fun! Of course, it was crazy hot, too, so I went to Kohl’s for the A/C to cool the babies down. Okay, so I really went because it was the last day of their big sale and I wanted to buy some shirts (see above) since I had a gift card to spend. And I knew (and I was right) that, once we got home, there’d be no going out again. So it was a fun afternoon.
Other than that, the day wasn’t too exciting (which is actually a good thing in our world!). And today should be fun, hanging with family a bit. And, since Alex is hollering in his crib, I’d better get back to the wacky world of twins! Happy Thursday!
You’ve been busy enough for all of us. So, we get the day off to just look at our messy houses!!
We’ve been crazy and are still avoiding the AC. Luckily, our basement is super-cool, and my husband’s computer is set up down there, so when he has days off, like today, it’s not too bad. He’s also a native Texan, so this is nothing. Tonight, though, provided he has cleaned the basement carpets, we will be moving a spare bed down to the basement for our “summer home.” I’m not against turning on the AC when it’s necessary, but before then we’ll just move our primary residence to the cool netherregions of the house
Love your babies!
It sounds like your yesterday and today have been great. You go! You continually amaze me with all you accomplish, even with TWIN BABIES. You’re an inspiration! Hope Erin feels better soon…
Wow, you have been busy! You put me to shame!!
I just read yesterday’s post, and based on some of the comments, it would seem you might already know the answer, but yes, if you want to do formula and BF, you can! Everyone’s supply is different, and some women who cut down too much, too quickly can lose their supply, but others are fine (I was able to do just am and pm feedings without a problem).
You should be proud of all the effort you’ve already put into BFing so far…the beginning is the hardest, most time consuming and you did it for TWO babies. Go you!
If you decide it works for you to change that up now, like everyone else said, no guilt allowed.
