sleep

Annie is doing really well at night. She doesn't get up to eat anymore and she has found her thumb which helps her sleep.  I am thrilled she found her thumb and even though I know it may be hard to break her later on, right now it's the best thing that could happen. Molly is having a bit more trouble. She did really well when we first started sleep training and things were going pretty well until last week when she got her 4 month shots. They made her feel miserable and she was a screaming mess the whole afternoon and evening. I had to hold her the entire night because she would scream if we put her down. And then she caught the cold that Lucy and I had and because of all the mucus and congestion she could not sleep laying flat. So, we have been letting her sleep in the bouncy seat.  Now we have to start  sleep training all over again once she's able to breath clearly. So frustrating. And for whatever reason, she's been so clingy the last few days. She's not napping well and wants to be held alot. I feel bad for Annie because she's so much more laid back and content and so she doesn't demand as much attention as Molly. I feel like I'm neglecting her sometimes because I have to deal with Molly. Poor Annie.

As a mom of twins it's really hard to feel like I'm giving everyone the attention they need. I feel like I'm not able to spend as much time with Lucy because I always have to feed a baby or put a baby down for a nap or go pick up a crying baby. Thankfully, Lucy is really understanding and so far she doesn't get mad when we have to stop playing or reading so I can tend to a baby.  Then with the twins, I feel like I give Molly more attention and what's really hard are the times they both are crying and I have to choose which baby I'm going to try and comfort first. There are many days I feel like I need 4 arms.
