Hard Day

It has been a hard day with the babies; didn't start that way but sure went down hill fast. The babies woke at 6:45 this morning, which works for us (the goal is 7:00). They ate great and went down for their nap at 8:40. They woke at 10:50 and ate at 11. I left at 11:45 for a meeting and my husband was home to watch them and put them down for their 12:45 nap. When I go home he said our son had been a little fussy before the nap but finally went to sleep. I had time to eat and just as I was finishing, around 1:20, our son woke up fussy. I had to take both babies to my husband's office to get a little work done so I went ahead and woke my daughter and got them ready to leave. Just as I was pulling into the office, they both hit melt down mode!! As soon I got into the office, I fed them so they would settle down. They both ate but were fussy the entire time. I put them down for their nap and what happened? They only slept about 30 minutes and, you guessed it, woke up fussy. I brought them home and it was time to feed them again but as the trend continued, they wouldn't eat much but fussed.

When my husband got home, we ordered take out for dinner because we thought it would be easier. Just as we finished, they began fussing again. I had to get out so I walked up to the pharmacy for formula while he dealt with them. When I got home we feed them and they finally "fussed" themselves to sleep a little before their bedtime. They are down now and I pray that they sleep thru the nite....I need the rest after this afternoon. It has probably been over a month since they were this fussy....
