because babies, oh how they can drive you crazy! My bueatiful bouncing baby girls were super wonderful this extended thanksgiving weekend, and decided it was time to offically start sleeping through the night. And when I say sleeping through the night, I mean we are finally to the stage where the girls can sleep for 12 hours straight without waking up to feed. While I still have to get up occasionally to put binkies in their mouth so they know they can go back to sleep, it is such a pleasure not to have to nurse in the middle of the night, as that takes close to an hour to feed both girls.
Though Savi and Shy both started sleeping through the night, Savi also learned how to roll over whenever she wished it so. She is super happy to have perfected this new skill of hers, trouble is when she wakes up in the middle of the night and thinks it's play time, she starts rolling over like crazy. Then as soon as she starts to get tired of that she can't figure out how to get back on her back from her stomach, so she screams. I was up a good 5 times last night, because she couldn't get herself flipped back over. The "Cry it out" time is coming if this habit keeps up :)
Never the less, all of my kids could quite possibly be the cutest damn things that ever lived!!
Thanksgiving was great, a nice long day with Grammie and Poppi. No one else around, just us, so we got to sit around and be lazy together. I enjoyed it a ton and just wish now that my weekend wasn't over already!
The holidays are upon us...
...I just can't believe the holidays are here again. Holy cow did that year go fast.
I just went back and re-read this blog from the begining, and wow, life just changes so much I don't know how to keep up with it. When you are as busy as Ricky and I are with the family, you just don't notice when the changes happen. When you look back and remember, it is weird to think that just 6 months ago things were completely different then they are today. I can't believe I have an almost 3 year old, and two 5 month olds. Life is starting to get back into a normal swing of things.
I am relieved to have all my babies with me, so glad I will (hopefully) never be pregnant again (Dr. Hyde will get an ear full if the "fixing" didn't take) after reading those blogs, and I am super thankful for my wonderful husband! Life is good, I am thankful for it, and I just can't wait to see what the next 6 months will bring.

Ty and his shot!
So Friday Ricky, myself, and Ty had to get the swine flu shot. I know, I know, a lot of people think it isn't really worth it, but with both the girls at home and gauranteed to get whatever Ty brings home we really couldn't chance any kind of flu bug this year.
Anyway, so we are driving to the appointment to get the shots, and I try out the tactic of telling Ty the complete truth about what he is about to experience, and to my suprise he isn't worried about it at all. I tell him it will be quick, and he will just feel a little pinch. He repeats it back to me and says "I'll feel just a little pinch, then I will be ok". I am thinking we may just be alright.
We walk into the doctors office and over to the H1N1 area, and there is this young girl there, maybe about 7 or 8 and she is just terrified to go in and get her shot. Rather then wait on the girl, the nurses take us first. Ty says he wants daddy to go first and so he does, then he says he doesn't want to go so I go next. Of course Ty doesn't want anything to do with the shot, espically once he heard how scared the girl outside was, so Ricky, the nurse, and myself gently coax Ty over to the bed, give him a sucker and while he is trying to unwrap it, he is administered the shot. He didn't flinch, didn't cry, did even bat an eye lid. Solid as a rock, concentrated on getting that dang sucker open.
All three of us make our way out of the office, of course bragging about how well Ty did, and then it is that other girls turn. As soon as the girl registered that they were taking her back she tried to make a bee-line for the door, her mom grabs her and tries to pull her back but the girl is kickly, falailing, crying, and screaming at the top of her lungs. One of the doctors comes out and helps the mom force the girl into the room. The girl is clutching onto every last thing she can find. As they pry her fingers off each item in the waiting room and move her inch by inch into the room for the shots, Ty watchs all of it in horror, looking up at me like "thank you mom for not doing that to me" (all the while I am thanking the nurses that they let us go before this incident occured as we NEVER would have gotten Ty in there after all that). They finally get the girl in the room and Ty turns to me, tells me he is ready to go, and starts skipping down the hallway, as the girl continues to scream in the background. It seriously sounds like they are tourturing her in there. All is done...
As we drive into work this morning, Ty informs me he is ready for another shot. I ask him if it's because he wants another sucker, and of course he tells me yes.
Morale of the story... it is proven, yet again, just how bad ass my son really is.... Just sayin!

Anyone want to donate their services?
I could really use a live in maid and cook!!! ;0)
I have no idea how I am going to keep up with my house right now. The mess is just getting worse and worse and worse. Before you know it the house will look like we are hoarders just for the sheer simple fact that I don't have two minutes to clean during the week. Once the weekend arrives, if I manage to get a couple minutes of peace to myself, all I want to do is lay around and be lazy!! I look at our house, and then at our yard, and it is truly depressing!
If anyone wants to clean and cook for us for free (with all our daycare costs I can't afford to pay you), we won't turn you down ;) I know, I know, unlikely, but hey, no harm in asking, right?

Ohh the pain of teething
Both the girls are teething if you ask my opnion, I think Shyann more then Savanna. I have been up since 2:30am from screaming babes, and even after some tylenol, Shyann couldn't seem to fall back to sleep peacefully. She would dose in and out just long enough for me to fall back into sleep just to be woken up by a pain staking cry.
Poor girls!!
Poor girls!!
Some new firsts
Shyann offically started the roll last night, which Savanna has been doing for well over a month now, and Savanna held her own bottle for the first time last night too . There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Before I know it these kids will be feeding themselves and crawling all over the dang place. THANK HEAVEN (which I may regret saying later).
Some pictures to come a little later today that Sheila and Chantel took of the family, they are super cute!!

Out of my office for this week
So my team is doing a huge move, and I have offically been booted from my building for over a week. My computer of course decided it was a good week for the hard drive to crash too, and since my office is being moved, I didn't have access to another. Thankfully I have a very helpful father and brother that work in research that were able to help me quickly get the machine back up and running again so I was really only without access to my stuff for a day. THANK GOD.
The move is kinda nice as I get to see my girly's more during the day. I miss them so much, and not staying home with them kills me just a little bit, but I am better off working. So are they, because now they get quality time with their auntie Kristen!!
The girls are either teething, which is what I firmly believe, or they have their first officaly full blown colds. Shyann has been so miserable with her stuffy nose that she has been refusing to eat. Poor girl. Savanna is dealing with it a lot better, but you can tell she still isn't feeling 100%.
Ty is doing great. Going to stay with Nonnie and Pops tonight, which I am super happy about because that means one full night of sleep without him coming into the room because he woke up. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my bug, but I miss sleep, so it will be nice to have a night off. Ty is of course completely excited that he gets to go with them, but said he was sad this morning because baby sisters are going with him. TOO CUTE! I am sure the day will come when that changes and he will be happy to be rid of them!
I hope all folks are doing well. Miss you all!
