I was very tired this morning, could barely make it out of bed. Randy was so kind and fed all three babies at lunch time, allowing me to stay in bed longer. I was still tired all afternoon.

After we had all eaten, Randy left to go to the apartment to work. I sorted out some issues with the electrician and a delayed dishwasher delivery I had to cancel and then order it from somewhere else. The electrician is coming on Thursday to install the plugs, and the dishwasher gets delivered on Tuesday, just in time before the kitchen gets installed on Wednesday.

The babies never slept after lunch. Emmy wanted to be held most of the rest of the day and was crying when I'd set him down. I really didn't get much done. Both him and Tammy were crying while I was feeding Sammy the second meal. They were all tired. After they had all eaten, I lay down with Tammy to help her fall asleep, and Emmy was crying the whole time. Sammy was lying in his night bed and had finally fallen asleep. When I felt that Tammy's sleep was deep enough, I left her to pick up Emmy. I tried to lie down on the couch with him, but he wanted to explore, not sleep. I put him back in bed, and just as he was falling asleep, Tammy was already awake again. Her nap had not been that long. I put her in the swing, so she would not wake her brother up, and so I could possibly get some work done. At one point I thought she had fallen asleep, but she was awake a moment later.

Sammy woke up and I put him in their big bed. Tammy was not happy, and I put her in there too. Emmy woke up right away, and wanted to be picked up again. After a while, they had finally all stopped crying and were playing together. They climbed a lot on Sammy today. He was laughing most of the time, but one time he started screaming. They can be pretty rough! I've some great videos I'll be uploading.

I comforted Sammy, and then it was already time for their last meal. Emmy was crying while I fed him. It was a good decision to not wait too long before starting their feeding time. Everyone ate normally, including Tammy.

Since Sammy had had a long nap, I returned him to his siblings to play for a little while longer, instead of going to bed. I fed Emmy, and did the same with him to feed Tammy. They all played for a while longer.

I finally put Sammy to bed, and then Emmy. Emmy did not protest and fell asleep. Not so Sammy tonight, which is rare. He was still awake for a while, and I fed him some milk, as he was fussing, before he fell asleep.

And Tammy was really tough once again. She was crying hysterically! I thought she was tired, but she just would not stay down and let me stroke her head to fall asleep. I put some dental cream on and discovered that her tooth had broken through! Yeah, another baby with a tooth! After a long time of trying, I finally picked her up and let her fall asleep on my chest. By then it was already rather late, compared to normal days. Once asleep, I could simply move her to her bed.

Randy came home late, having put together an IKEA shelf today and then gone shopping - to a grocery store near our new home that we'll be doing lots of shopping at in the future.
