Posts with content

My goal this month is to post something with some content. All I seem to be able to do lately is post pics of the kids, which is good and all but I used to be able to think as well. This sleep deprivation has killed any writing ability I once had. So be on the lookout, at some point, for a post that may make sense and make you think. Okay I may just be thinking a little too much but at least a post that has more than 50 words and is coherent.

Can I tell you what a nice wife I am today? I'm letting my sweet hubby, that has had the babies all week long all by himself, sleep in this morning. Its my busy season at work, which means I'm actually working. Its sorta nice being able to bring in some money and have fun while doing it (and all in just 4 hours a day).

But this also means that hubby becomes full time stay at home dad while I'm gone and then as soon as I come home he gets ready and leaves for work and doesn't come home until around midnight. And most mornings he wakes up and gets the kids lunches ready for school and makes sure they get out the door in time for school. I truly have a fabulous husband! I know you're all jealous, you should be! :)

And he never complains about it. Now don't get me wrong I do get some frustrated calls from time to time from him when he is having a hard time with the twins that conspire against him.

Let me tell you they are really working hard at that. They are having a blast getting on totally separate sleep schedules and now moving in different directions exploring all aspects of the house at knee height.

What is so nice about it all is that he is truly enjoying it. He even takes the twins out and about town. He has his daddy pack and is prepared for all situations. He is my hero. I don't know many dads that could take it all on and succeed as well as he is doing.

You know if this was a mom you would just expect her to do it all and not think twice about it. What's crazy is that this is exactly how he goes about it. He just does it because its what he needs to do. No second thought. No need for praise. He just does it for the love of the kids. He even does it for the big kids. They aren't even biologically his yet he treats them just like they are.

For someone who thought he never wanted to be a Dad, much less a Dad to babies, he has shown himself and the world that he is fabulous. And now he keeps saying he wants more babies...and I say HELL NO!!! 4 is perfectly a good number for me. He just loves this baby stage so much. He crack me up.

I love you baby!

I was all giving Brandon snaps and props reading this...until I got to the point about wanting more babies.

Maybe he's gone crazy with sleep deprivation?

Hooray for great dads who are as competent, and helpful, as the moms. I couldn't be a mom without a full partner.
