Abby's friend and her mom went with Abby to the nursery. I heard that at first she did really well, sitting in the chair watching Veggie Tales and eating animal crackers. The moment she realized that mom and dad weren't with her she freaked... out. One of the nursery workers had to come and get me because she was crying so hard she was making herself gag. She was pretty upset by the time I got there and wouldn't let me go for a long time. There were a few attempts at playing with her friends but fun time in the nursery was over. I hate to see her upset but those moments when she clutches your shirt and buries her face into your neck it is the greatest feeling in the world. Right then there is nothing else important in the world because my little girl needs me and she wants her mom. :)
This afternoon will probably be a quiet one. Perhaps we can get a few things done around the house. I brought in Abby's 'pretend play' toys and I organized the basement a little so that she had a place to play. There was one moment where I was feeding Kiley in the recliner and Abby had been cooking on the stove. She wandered off to look at something and I said "Abby! Your food is burning! Get it off the stove quick!" She ran over to her stove going "Oh No!"...... she understands things more than I realize sometimes. It was pretty cute though! She just got up from her afternoon nap and Tom is getting ready to make pancakes and bacon for lunch. (yum!)
For me things are feeling a little better. It's one thing that I have come to realize about being a mother of three, that there will be days or stretches of days where things feel impossible, where all you can do is put one foot in front of the other and press on. But when I have those days it is great to get encouragement and feel like I'm not alone. There are many twin mothers in my 'birth club' that are feeling about the same right now. It seems like that 4-8 week phase is tough because we are beginning to run a little low on steam. The important thing is to stay connected with people and keep from spiraling down into those feelings too far.
I had fun taking pictures yesterday, I posted them on Facebook but in case you didn't see them I'll put a few up here too. There are days I really wish that I could do this for more than my children. I do love to take photos. I'm playing with the idea of getting a newer/better camera. Not one of the REALLY expensive ones but a crossover between a point and shoot and a more professional camera. Trouble is they run around 400 dollars.
If you didn't already know, the last "Which baby" poll answer was Kara (sorry I forgot to say who it was) This new poll might be interesting... perhaps I shouldn't have put the "They look like sisters" answer because I have a feeling that will be the default answer! I guess we will see!
(sorry the last two won't upload in the correct positioning... I can't get them horizontal on my blog. argh)
