9 months 21 days

Last night both boys needed feeding at 3 am, one waking up the other. And Tammy slept extra long and drank her first bottle really late.
As soon as I got up, I went into overdrive getting everything done, so that we could leave right after all five of us had eaten lunch. We wanted to go to Lutz/Möbelix/Mömax, furniture stores, to look at kitchens one more time. What we found out was that you need an appointment to sit down and plan a kitchen in all 3 stores, and that it takes either 8-10 or 10-12 weeks before the kitchen is installed. That rules them out entirely! It's 4-6 weeks at Ikea, so it's time to order it there! We also wanted to buy chairs for the dining room table, one they had on sale, but it turned out to be different than expected, and the other chairs I liked Randy didn't, so we walked out empty-handed. Randy and I have quite different ideas about furniture!
Sammy did really well the whole time today. When he gets cranky, I just play with his legs and get smiles and giggles out of him. I had his stroller on the way home and kept playing with him, keeping him happy to the end that way. As for Tammy and Emmy, we had them both out of the stroller in the store, as we did Sammy, so they didn't have to sit in the stroller the whole time.
It was really tiring going to all three stores, but at least it wasn't as late that we got home as when we went to Ikea last time. I got their dinner ready as soon as we got home, and then it was feeding time and bath time. I weighed them, but had some trouble with the boys, and then figured out that I had to put the scale on the floor now to measure them, so that their arms would not touch the wall and falsify the results. So only Tammy's weight is really realiable. She weighed 7.2 kilos (+120 grams), Emmy 6.86 (+60) and Sammy 6.24 (+20).
Tonight all three fell straight asleep, and I was really happy about it. I was so tired, didn't even want to stand up to cook my dinner. Randy left to go grocery shopping, and then it started. Tonight it was Emmy who suddenly started crying. Well, his crying woke up Tammy, and now I had two crying babies. I had planned not to pick them up, but alone with two, I was at a loss, so I picked them both up. Emmy kept crying; he'd only really stop when I was holding him alone, not together with his sister, but most of the time I held them both. I sat at my desk with them, on the couch, went to our bed, back to the desk, trying to find a place where they'd be happy. It was tough and I was waiting for Randy to get home. Finally I put them each in their individual bed anyway, and they continued crying. I tried to comfort them in their beds, when Randy finally arrived. He took Emmy, and I lay down in our bed with Tammy. She soon fell asleep in my arms, and I was able to get up and put her back to bed where she continued sleeping. Randy and Emmy were also asleep, and I put him (Emmy) back into his bed. At 10 pm Emmy started crying again, and would not be comforted. He was hungry (unusual for him), and he drank a big bottle of milk, putting himself to sleep. We'll see how the rest of the night goes.
