I'm 29 on the 29th!!

Happy Birthday to me!! I am 29 today...only one more year till the BIG 3-0! No big plans for the day...hubby has a meeting tonight, so I'll be alone with the babies again! No complaints from me though...I am staying in & staying warm! I am extremely tired today anyway...I had a little meltdown last night with the babies. We were up all night! I finally got them settled and asleep in my lap around 4:00 this morning, set them down in their crib & both were screaming immediately...and then I started crying! I know some people deal with this every night, but I am so not used to it! I am not talking just crying, I am talking unconsolable screaming!!! I am not sure what is wrong, but hopefully tonight will be a little better! Say a little prayer for us!!!

It will get better. I've never raised a set of twins but have had two newborns and I've been there myself many a time. You are in my prayers. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you have an excellent day!

Happy Birthday to YOU!

Will pray that whatever was bothering the babies last night will go away and they can have a peaceful restful sleep, allowing you to get a bit of shut eye too.

I know how frustrating it can be because they are unhappy or hurting and still they can't tell us what they really want.

Perhaps they just wanted a little extra cuddling from Mom and wanted to be held.

Will pray that God gives you the strength to deal with situations as they arrive and not frustrate you.

Do try and stay warm, it is cold outside.
HUGS :)

Happy Birthday! Hang in there through those sleepless nights, they will be nothing more than a memory all too soon.

Happy Birthday and praying that tonight will be a better night for you.

Are you still nursing? Do you think something you might have eaten upset their little tummies last night.

I know you must be exhausted. Praying for some rest for all of you.

Also, if you don't mind me asking...where did you get the frames hanging over their cribs? I love them. Do you know if they come in a darker finish?

Prayers you get a little rest today. Sounds like you had a tough night.

Have you tried Mylacon drops? (I think that is how you spell it.) They might have a little gas. I hope this helps!

Kari said...

Happy Birthday! I hope you can get some rest today and tonight!
I could not imagine doing what you are doing! I had one already and had MMMMMANNNY meltdowns. I couldn't do it times 2! Just, don't let the fact that you had a meltdown make you feel worse. That doesn't help anyone! Babies have bad nights, and so do we. I will be praying for you!

Becca said...

Happy Birthday! I'm sorry your night was so bad. We've all had those...but usually just with one baby! I hope tonight is better. We're all getting closer to the big 3-0. It's so weird!!!

I absolutely adore your blog and have been so inspired by your story. I hope that you have a fantastic birthday and that the twins give you a birthday present of a calmer night. :)

Well let me first of all start by saying Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a great day!!

As goes for the crying... I wish I could come over and help you. I remember when Cameron was born and he would have a couple nights like that (not many, but a few) and I remember that I would have given anyone to come in and help me. You just get so tired and worn out and it is hard, but let me just say that it gets better. At least it got better for me and I had one little one. You wonder if they have gas? Might be something to check into, but I know that there are things out there that could help with gas buildup in babies and if that could help them and help you then it is worth a try.

Hang in there!!

Hugs,
Lisa

Erin said...

aww... those nights are the worst! and the screaming of a newborn is the hardest sound to hear... i can't imagine 2! hope you get some rest tonight. Jackson was born at 35 weeks... he was such a "silent" preemie those first few weeks and then its like he just woke up one day and fussed, cried, screamed and i thought i was doing something wrong! it will get easier!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! I stalk your sister's blog often, she is truly an inspiration to me as a photographer, and now I will probably be stalking your blog as well :) You have a beautiful family and are so blessed, but I know you already know that!!!! Kiss those babies and hold them close-they grow SO fast :)
