I am so happy to have my Essie Kate home, but boy do my girlies keep me hopping...... It's not all roses having almost 16 and 23 month olds! They are precious but oh so exhausting. My friend asked me today how I did it..... I don't know HOW I do it.... I just DO. Essie Kate is doing better and better everyday. She was having bad times at night. She would go right down to sleep in the pack and play, but she would wake up an hour or so later totally hysterical and would be in our bed the rest of the night. I just loved her through it. Last night we put her full sized crib next to my side of the bed with her side off...... She had full access to me, but she was in her own space..... NO hysterics at ALL last night. I finally got some sleep. She was glued to my side by 3 am, but I love to cuddle with her.....It was nice being able to snuggle with dh too...
We are gradually weaning her off the Nido to an American follow up formula.... She's doing pretty well. I don't know how long we'll stay on the formula. It's so easy I sure don't mind. My house is a WRECK. I don't think it's ever been this messy...... That's hard for me to cope with. Hopefully this weekend I can find a few minutes to tackle that. I have gotten out with the girls a couple of times. I LOVE the double stroller! It saves my life. People think they're twins, which is hilarious to me since AP far outweighs Essie Kate......I am getting used to my new life and am so thankful to be home. I pray for all of you still waiting all the time..... Love to you all,
