Hi Honey, What Did You Do Today?

I thought I would write a list of my normal morning, I could do a whole day, but you'll get the picture after a few lines. Unfortunately, Hazel and CC were with friends for the morning so I don't get to show you how much fun/work/trouble we have together, another day perhaps. So I asked Linda and Amanda good neighbors of mine to help me with Hazel and CC. Once a week they eat breakfast with their family. Mornings are so chaotic you will see, I asked for help and they were willing to throw me a lifeline. Sometimes mornings start at 5am, sometimes 7am, I make no excuses and no apologies. I love this life.

Somedays, I get so much anxiety in the morning, I feel like I am looking over the edge of a huge cliff and I have to jump it over and over again. No one is holding a gun to my head telling me to do any of these things. I love it, I love them I want to. Then why do I get so anxious?

At this point the babies are going down about 7-8pm and waking well, Quinn and James at 5 am for a bottle, Wilson is -a midnight, 4 am, 6am kind of guy. I think we are gonna have to put him in the front room, I am not sure how long we can keep up 2 feeding schedules at night and he is big enough to sleep a little longer than he is sleeping. While I have been recovering, N8 has been doing all the feedings. I don't know how he does so much on so little sleep, but he wants me to get better. I gotta say, he is a wonder to me.
