1 year 4 days

Another tough time getting up this morning, and the second day in a row that I fed all three their lunch meal. And I did lay down again after I was done, but not for long, as I was hungry myself. After having cooked and eaten, I joined the babies in the play area, so Randy could do some stuff.

Sammy was sleeping when I fed the other two their second meal, and so he ate his later, after waking up, and Randy fed him, while Emmy was watching him (first picture).

And they think an empty bottle is the greatest toy, when they have so many actual toys. They even fought over it, and the second picture shows Tammy's distress when Emmy took it away from her.

Then a friend showed up with her daughter, to bring some food. How sweet of her! They ended up staying for 90 minutes to help with the babies. Randy left for the grocery store, so it was great to have them here. They played with them and had a great time, which allowed me to get a little work done.

But not much, as it was already time for their last meal. As Randy wasn't back yet, they helped me feed them, change them and put them to bed before saying their good-byes.

At first I thought they were all falling asleep fast, but that was not the case. Emmy fell asleep fast, but Tammy and Sammy needed longer.

Randy then came back from the store, and after eating, he got some more needed stuff done, like mounting a shelf to the wall and making a hole in a one for a power cord.

It's now way after midnight, and Emmy has made this a tough night. He first woke up at 9 pm and I gave him a bottle, and two hours later he was crying again. He woke up the other two, and Randy (who had already gone to bed) had to help me feed Sammy, so I could take care of the other two. I made Tammy a bottle, but Emmy was throwing a tantrum and refused the bottle. Only picking him up - which I want to avoid at night - worked to calm him down, and then he finally started drinking and ended up drinking a lot. After that I was able to put him back down, though he started crying again 15 minutes later and I had to stroke his head for him to go back to sleep. All in all this kept me busy for nearly 90 minutes.

And finally, please pray for HEALTH over all of them. Tammy has a bump, and after googling it, I suspect she has chickenpox. I sure hope I am wrong, and I know Jesus can stop it in its tracks right now! Agree with me on that!
