Oxygen Free

This morning Matt and I took Brock and Collin to get their oxygen monitored. We also got to weigh in. Brock is up to 6 lbs. 5 oz. and Collin weighs 6 lbs. 13 1/2 oz. I can't believe they are finally that big. Collin was monitored while he ate and he did so well he doesn't have to have oxygen when he eats anymore. Brock was monitored while he slept and while he ate and he dropped a little, so he is still on for another week and we will take him in again. So, one down and one to go. They are doing really well though. They are sleeping for about 5 hours at night and that is a big bonus. I think it is because they are now eating 3 oz. and so their tummies are fuller.

Paige and Kayla are my two trials right now. Every morning Paige cries because she doesn't want to leave me and she wants me to go to school and stay all day with her. We have this battle every morning and it is starting to wear on me. Next week spud harvest starts, so she will get a little break, but then it will be torture again when school starts. I hope she figures out that school isn't that bad and that I will be home when she gets out of school. Then Kayla. I don't even know where to start. She is in to yelling at me and slamming doors and disobeying constantly. She was never like this before. She also doesn't want to go to preschool on the mornings she has it. It is a battle to get her ready and out the door with Matt. I am hoping that this is their little rebellion stage for me spending so much time with the boys and that they will eventually get over all of this. I am hoping sooner that later, because it is not fun.

I am sorry to hear of your struggles. I feel really bad for you. Call me if you need a break. I will come take the girls on a picnic or something.

I always cry when I read your blog. Lex has been giving me the same attitude...we could blame it on nursery. :o) I think her's has a lot to do with the babies getting where they want to now, and where she doesn't want them. There is no way I would have ever guessed how different life is now with our babies, and I can't imagine how your lives have changed! You really are wonder woman though, and don't you forget it! :o) Send Kayla over here and I'll let her and Lex ice cupcakes...they can take theier frustrations out on a treat. :o)
