What a day! I went to bed at 3:30; at 7 am we woke up as they were already awake and making noise. I got up to go to the bathroom, and collapsed onto the bed, being extremely dizzy. Now that has never happend to me before! I was so dizzy, I could not walk! And then I got nauseous. I somehow made it to the bathroom, and started vomiting. I felt absolutely miserable, not able to stay on my feet. What in the world was going on? An effect from never getting enough sleep? Randy thought it was food poisoning. I somehow made it back to bed, lay there a while, as we don't get up before 8. Then Sammy started crying really hard. Emmy likes moving the beds, by pulling on the beds next to him, and Sammy got stuck in the hole (again), where bars are missing. Randy rescued him.
I still felt miserable, but knew I had to make their food. Just raising up a little, the dizziness and nausea overwhelmed. I somehow made it to the kitchen, and with a lot of effort, I made their food. Going back to the bedroom, I started vomiting again. The first time, I had an empty stomach, the next two time I only had water in my stomach I had just drunk. I dragged myself back to bed. I was not gonna be able to feed them. Randy had to feed all three.
nd I was supposed to leave the house with Sammy at 1 pm, to take him to his physiotherapy session. I had even done a Covid test yesterday, but there was no way I could do that, so I canceled it.
I got some sleep, but felt pretty bad. Thankfully it was a day with Sonja, and thankfully it was a day of baby food jars, so I didn't have to cook. Randy put their food into the warmer, and he and Sonja fed them. I was awake, but stayed in bed, and made it to the bathroom better than in the morning, but was still feeling miserable. I helped Emmy fall asleep, when he went to bed for his nap, and was there a few minutes later, when Sonja brought Tammy up. She was really tired as well and fell asleep quickly. It was later than usual, as they had eaten later than usual.
I was getting a little hungry, so Randy was so kind to make me his famous omelet. I never went back to sleep again, as far as I remember, though I probably should have.
When Emmy woke up after an hour, I was gonna go get him, but Randy was faster, and sat down with him, and soon they were both asleep, and for quite some time. Today they all slept long, even Sammy, who rarely does. It was three before the boys went downstairs, and Randy and Sonja fed them there. Tammy woke up not long after, and Sonja took her downstairs and fed her there as well.
I was feeling better and wanted to make sure I had quality time with my little ones, so I went downstairs and stayed with them from 4 to 5, playing with them and having fun. Tammy really likes watching videos on my phone, but I keep it to a few minutes a day. Emmy just walks away when he's had enough, but she throws a fit, when I turn it off. That's why she's unhappy in this picture.
Emmy was playing with the mats, lifting it up like he was saying, look how strong I am. And then he started going up the box, and jumping off with Sonja's help, over and over again. He loved it!
Sammy was with Daddy, who put him in a sitting position by the farm house that sings "Old Mac Donald has a farm", and Sammy sat there all alone for a while, without Daddy holding him.
Tammy kept coming for the phone, and I let her look at herself, which fascinated her. I did a video one time of her looking at herself and talking.
When I didn't give her the phone to watch a video, she ran to Daddy to get comforted. He was holding her in one arm, and Sammy in the other. Then Emmy came over and bent down to Sammy and gave him a kiss. So sweet.
At 5 pm I went upstairs to do my job, and half an hour later they came upstairs to eat. After eating, they went into the bathtub, where they continued eating, but Emmy did not want to be there from the very beginning, clinging to Sonja, like he wanted her to take him out of the water, and then coming over to me and clinging to me. After they were all done eating and drinking their cereal with milk, Emmy came out first today, and the other two followed, and the three of us got them ready to bed. Emmy went to bed first tonight, then Tammy, and Sammy last. If only I could have walked away and never have to come back. I ended up staying for 90 minutes because Emmy needed me to fall asleep. Every time I left, even when I thought he had fallen asleep, he would start crying and get up and stand in his bed waiting for me. And he had been tired from the beginning! It was Tammy who was playing for the longest time. And I was still there for Emmy, when Tammy was already asleep. After 90 minutes I'd had enough and just left, not coming back, and after he had cried a while, he lay down and fell asleep.
I finally was able to get my food ready. I was feeling better than I had all day, but chose to eat in bed and also bring my computer to bed to work there. That was a first since we moved to this apartment last summer. It was nice. As midnight was approaching, which is when Randy goes to bed usually, I moved my office back downstairs into the actual office. I had hoped to go to bed earlier, but here I am after 2 am, and I'm still working. I really don't want tomorrow morning to be like today's.
