9 months 22 days

Last night Sammy needed food, and Emmy at 10 pm. Tammy woke up extra early, after she had woken up extra late yesterday.
Today was a tough day for me, got a little cry in when all the pressure and stress seemed to crush me. Randy took Sammy to physiotherapy this morning and I stayed home with Tammy and Emmy. After the difficult time last night, when I was home alone with two crying kids, I found myself once again in the same situation. It's all a blurr now, and I don't remember any details.
After the boys returned, and all five of us had eaten, I got ready to leave the house and go to Ikea to finalize our kitchen, as it takes weeks, and the earlier we get it, the earlier we can move all the way. Just as I was walking out the door, Randy suddenly said we should wait and let the professionals measure our kitchen to make sure the measurements are right. They are scheduled to come on July 2nd, and the kitchen takes up to 6 weeks before it's installed!!!
I stayed home, but I was not happy. Later in the afternoon Randy went shopping again, and for the third time in 24 hours I found myself alone with two crying babies, this time Emmy and Sammy. At least Tammy was sleeping in the bed in the back. Not again! When Randy was gonna pick something up tonight, I asked him to do it tomorrow night, as I did not want to be in this situation for the fourth time in 24 hours! I was just exhausted.
When Randy got back, we started feeding them their dinner, and I changed them and put them to bed.
Sammy used to be the kid that challenged us the most, but now it's the other two. Sammy always falls asleep pretty much right away, and he's not crying all the time any more as he used to do. Now it's the other two that often just want to be held and don't like it when we set them in their bed.
And Sammy smiles a lot now. I've got great shots of him today.
One of those times when Emmy was crying and I was holding him, I put dental cream on his gums, thinking his teeth might be hurting, and discovered that his first tooth has broken through! He's the first! It's just a tiny corner so far.
And I forgot to mention yesterday that Randy saw Tammy sit up by herself again, but I couldn't get the camera fast enough.
Tonight, Emmy fussed a little but then fell asleep. Not so Tammy. I wanted to not pick her up, and kept going over to her to comfort her, but she screamed even harder every time I walked away. I was just glad it did not wake Emmy up. Finally I wondered what I was doing to her, being so cruel and not meet her need, and picked her up. Randy and I were cooking a big pot of chicken soup together, where he does the cutting, and I do the rest, and while one of us was working on it, the other one was holding Tammy. Once done, Randy sat down in the rocking chair, and they both fell asleep, while I could finally finish my dinner.
I'm pretty tired tonight and am hoping to go to bed earlier, but then, I still have to finish the French translation of our newsletter that still hasn't gone out. There's just so little time.
