This crazy life of mine!

Sorry I haven't posted much.... I feel like i just gave birth to some BIG twins!!! Essie is doing great. It seems like she's been here forever. AP is doing much better everyday. I try so hard to make sure I give them BOTH what they need. Essie is sleeping in the pack and play in our room until around 3 or 4 am when she wants to get in bed with us. I am going to just go with the flow for now. I haven't been getting enough sleep, but does any new mama??? I want all of you in process to know that I continue to pray for your sweet babes everyday and will do so until they are all home..... Right now we are keeping our eye on Gustav..... He will probably send some rain and strong winds our way but nothing too bad.

Hang in there..I know what you mean on lack of sleep and going with the flow. I am trying to nurse Vivian too, which I have to just take baby steps to do. I think it is okay to have Essie sleep in your room, she has to gain trust and feel completely secure. AP will have some jealousy issues for a bit, but in time she will be okay. Emery has some jealousy issues with Vivian too -only with me though, not with Daddy at all. Hang in there and stay in touch.
