Happy Mother's Day

To be a mom.... It is an indescribable feeling, you never know the love you will have for your children until you have them. I never knew there was holes in my heart until they were filled with 3 beautiful children, I am now complete.

I love the baby stage, so small and cuddly, you feel needed.... They way the change and grow so fast, they develop and learn daily. The twins are now 7 months, Grayson is 17 lbs 6oz and is rolling around and around, he is up on all fours rocking back and forth. He will be taking off any day. Peyton is 15 lbs 12 oz and is sitting really well, although does not do anything else, lol. Really hard not to compare your children, when they are the same age :) She is my little diva, will sit and watch Grayson move all around, but she knows if she needs to move, someone will move her, lol.

I have noticed lately how much I really enjoy the 2 yr old stage, mind you this comes with a lot of challenges :) Sawyer is so much fun, the things that he comes up with and out of his mouth... I have no idea where he gets it. The way they can express their likes and dislikes and that they love you! Yesterday Sawyer came into my bed with me and said "Mommy, I missed you, I love you" "Mommy you are my best friend!" Precious!!! Then there are times where he hits, throws things and repeats you at times he shouldn't lol. But everyday he makes me laugh and gives me joy.

Happy Mother's Day!

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

6 Months!!

Wow 6 months already!!! In a way if feels A LOT longer, this week has felt like a month :(

So to catch up, where to start.... The babies are doing well, a lot better than 6 months ago or even 3 months ago. In the past 6 months they have been in the hospital on IV, on different formulas, different medications, puffers etc. They are gaining weight, Grayson is gaining like crazy!! He is our fattest baby yet! LOL which is great because he was so small at the beginning. In less than a month he gained 2 pounds! Sleep - they are both sleeping through the night, Thank God, and knock on wood :)

Sawyer is also doing great, growing up so fast it is nuts. He is fully trained now, except at night. I still have mixed feelings about this. With a diaper I don't have to worry about where a bathroom is or when outside I did not have to RUN inside. BUT he can't be in a diaper forever I am aware of that. His sleeping is going better, he now wakes around 6, sometimes if we are luck at 6:30 which is so nice.... I feel like that is sleeping in, (except I am up with the babies :( )

I go back to work in less than 6 months :( I also have mixed feelings about that, I wish I could go part time. I don't think I would like to be a stay at home mom, but I also don't know about working full time and not seeing them as much :(

We recently had our Easter Pics done at About Image, they had little chicks and bunnies there, it was great! I will attach a few photos, so cute!

Baby update

Well it has been a while... I feel like I have nothing to write about. So just for an update...

Yesterday the babies had their 4 month needles, they are now 5 months though.

So at 5 months they are doing GREAT! Grayson is 24 1/2 inches and 14 lbs 3 oz he has put a lot of "chunk" on in the last 2 months, he is really looking healthy now. Peyton is 24 inches and 14 lbs, she is also doing really well. They don't cry all day anymore, and are smiling and laughing a lot. They have both rolled over a couple times but are not that interested. Peyton tried Rice Cereal yesterday for the first time, seemed to like it. Today we will try Grayson.

Sawyer is also doing great, he is now 2 1/2 yrs old, Crazy!!! He is the pickiest eater I have ever seen, yes people I am aware that he gets this from me, but honestly so much worse. He is so cute with the babies, always hugging and kissing them, making sure to say good morning and asking if they had a good sleep. But then in he next breath, he pokes them in the eye or hits them, UGH. :(

Not much else new with the Davidson's, dreaming of the summer, when we can go for walks and not bundle so much....

Here are a couple of recent pics.

Twin moms convos

I have another post coming soon..... hopefully. Just came across this video and could not post it. Jaret and I laughed a lot because this is now our life. This conversation happens every time we go out, well the one side anyways...

Hope you enjoy, btw this is just supposed to be funny, not offensive in any way.

I recently heard some quotes from Roseanne Barr, I was reminded how funny she was (is). Here are a few that I personally like,

"There's a lot more to being a woman than being a mother, but there's a hell of a lot more to being a mother than most people suspect. " Roseanne Barr
So true

Experts say you should never hit your children in anger. When is a good time? When you're feeling festive? Roseanne Barr

Excuse the mess but we live here.

and my personal favorite,

"I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband gets home from work, then hey, I've done my job." Roseanne Barr

Thought I would just share for a laugh.

Update;

As I was watching TV last night I caught an Oprah commercial and it showed Roseanne Barr on her show Monday. Crazy how things like that work, I had not heard/seen anything about Roseanne in years then I find the quotes and now on Oprah.... Thought you might want to know so you can PVR it!!

Sleep

I know sleep is over rated, any mom knows that. But when your 4 month old twins are sleeping better than your 2 1/2 yr old, it gets frustrating. Why doesn't he like sleeping? So if you have any suggestions, please let me know... (I know my comments button doesn't work?, so FB me)

Here is his schedule.... Wake at 5am nap after lunch at 12 ish, he sleeps from 2-3 hours ( I usually wake him after 2 1/2, hoping he will sleep longer in the night). Then he goes to bed at 8pm, he goes to bed at night and for the nap well, he just knows it is the routine and he is out. During the night, he wakes often crying. He cries for mom to come in, and sometimes it is " I need my car, or juice or soother", sometimes he wants me to lay with him. When I do lay with him it only takes a minute, then I tell him I am going to bed, and he is good. (for another hour).

I have had it, I am so tired during the day because I am up probably 5 times with Sawyer (at least) and once to feed Grayson, plus 4 times to put the soother back in :(. Although I am not up for long periods of time, it is still interrupted sleep :(

Sawyer used to go to bed at 7:00pm and he was waking up at 5 ish, wanting to stretch this out we moved his bed time to 8:00pm, this helped for a bit, he was sleeping to 6 or 6:30am So nice!! Now it is worse, I don't know what to do... we tried to move it back to 7:30 ish but no help, he just wakes earlier.....

Suggestions??????

My new hobby

So here it is my new outlet. I have only had a little time to work on them (one day, no sorry one nap, ha) So hopefully they get better from here...
