Sleep where are you..I miss you dearly!

Although it is getting much easier there are nights and weeks that go smoother than others. Since the Zantac Austin is feeling much much better but we have since moved the boys into our room using an arms reach co-sleeper and I am afraid bad habits are forming for Austin who only wants to sleep on daddy's chest or my arms. Thankfully Jason has been putting himself to sleep since birth. Well tonight I have decided that it is time to migrate the boys back to the crib. I go back to work next week and I am afraid if we don't form good habits right now that we are doomed to have a sleeping baby in our bed until who knows when. Rob and I decided from the beginning that we needed to keep our room and bed fairly kid free so that we can have time to ourselves at night. Its very important to us to have a solid marriage and relationship so some separation from kid and parent is necessary. WOW though there are so many directions to go with raising children and there are no right or wrong answers. Everyone has an opinion and what works for their family does not necessarily work for yours. So I am sorting through friends tips and tricks and will try to get Austin down tonight...eh so again I am facing a long night but I do believe that if we can win this battle now at 7 weeks then we will save ourselves some heartache as they get older...Both boys are smiling now and holding their heads up more on their own. I am in love with being a mommy! We start the next phase next week as I go back full time to work. I know that it is what is best right now but I will miss them so much while I am away. They both have BIG personalities and I look forward to them continuing to grow each and everyday. So I say to them now...I hope that I am doing what is best for you boys its all done with love. OK I need a manual though soon please! This guessing game SUCKS! Oh and I put make up on today for the first time...I missed that face :)

The Check up

I saw doctor Maholland yesterday and I got a clean bill of health...WHOO HOO! I have finally finish the pregnant phase officially. I cannot wait to drink wine in the hot tub. I also got back on the depo shot yesterday. For all you moms out there that have been pregnant multiple times my hat is off to you. I never ever ever want to do that again. Even though the reward is super sweet...the lord knew I couldn't take it so he gave me two at once :)
Life around the Oliver house is not easy right now. Last week was the hardest longest most emotional week of my life. I know now that if Rob and I can make it through twin newborns we are basically invincible. Austin entered cryfest 2011 last Sunday night and it last for 5 nights...crying from 5pm to 2am every night. The only way we could sleep is if he was laying on Robs chest. We both slept on the couch and chair for 3 nights. Thankfully we have the best pediatrician EVER and we got him on baby Zantac. It took a couple days for it to kick in but I do believe that we are over that hurdle. The scars are still fresh though and every night we watch him to see if crazy cry baby will show his face.
I am so exhausted and we are only 5 weeks into the Oliver newborn adventure. I am starting to think that this will last a long time. I have not quite gotten completely back to normal yet...HA what is normal exactly anyway right?
