Sleep Deprived

So it just seems like life is getting more busy.  Im starting to feel burnt out and am definitly getting cabin fever!  Our snow finally got washed away so once it starts raining, I can start taking the kids for walks again.  Conor still hates his car seat so it makes walks not that great but at least I get outside! 

The other morning I walked into Keira’s room to find her lying on her tummy!  Ever since she keeps rolling onto her belly but hasnt figured out how to roll back so she gets quite frusterated.  Both of them really want to sit.  We put them in the bumbo seats daily but they arent big fans.  I have also started putting them in the exersaucer but they arent crazy about that either.  Im sure it will just take some getting used to. 

This morning was a bad one, sleep wise.  Conor woke at 3:40 for a feed, followed by Keira at 4:20.  I put her back in her crib after but she was talking so loud and wouldnt stop that I got up (so she wouldnt wake Shaun as well) and put her in her swing downstairs hopeing she would fall back asleep.  After listening to her scream (her new discovery) and talk for 10 more min, I finally put her in the bouncy seat beside the couch, turned on the tv and was able to sleep on the couch for at least 30 min.  Conor isnt so big on the talking.  He did it for about a week and then went back to his humming.  I think he will be the twin that leaves the talking to his sister.

Ive started the scrapbooks for each of the babies.  Creating Keepsakes had this great baby kit for sale that has all the journaling promps and tons of paper and stuff for a great price.  And then you do a page for each month of their first year.  Makes scrapbooking much easier when I dont have near as much time.  Only problem Im running into is my scanner.  I need to scan some pics of family members for the family tree and the glass on my scanner is dirty.  But on the inside.  I have tried to open it to clean it but no luck.  Its like someone cleaned it and left it streaky.  Maybe I’ll have to take it into a computer place to be done.  So annoying.

Shauns dad is still in the hospital so my mother in law hasnt been able to come over and help.  Im definitly missing her.  Plus its stressful having Shauns dad in poor health, though he is doing much better.

My parents come this weekend.  Mom is staying til Friday and my dad goes back on the Tuesday.  Ikea here I come, so annoying we dont have one on the island but good excuse to get away!  Have to get more shelving for my scrapbook room and some storage organizers for the kids toys.  SHaun and I are determined to not let the kids have too many toys (whatever happened to kids being creative w/ what toys they do have?) and be organized w/ the toys they do have.  Im already trying to figure out how I will teach my kids to pick up after themselves!

I did a little photoshoot w/ babies the other day.  Ive posted a couple of the pics.  Cant get Conor to smile at the camera.  As soon as I bring the camera up the smile disappears.  Need their dad around to get him to smile!  Conor is weighing around 19 lbs and Keira is almost 16 lbs.  My arm muscles have a lot of catching up to do!

 

So frusterating.  Cant really figure this photo thing out.  Trying to delete the pic of Keira posted the wrong direction and put the right one there but cant figure it out, so you’ll just have to turn your head sideways!
