I am sooo far behind its not even funny. I am going to try to start updating from now on though.
I had a prayer answered for me about 2 weeks ago. I had started feeding the babies on both sides instead of just oneside and they had me up more than they usually do. I was getting up with them 6 to 8 times a night. That's rough. They had only slept 6 hours at the most once so almost 6 months I haven't slept longer than 3 to 4 hours in a given time. Rough. We were on our way home from my family party and I was so tired and stressed I began to sob to Brandon that I was done nursing. I couldn't do it anymore. I felt like I was losing my milk and I wasn't being able to feed the babies what they needed so I was done. I love nursing. Its something that has been pretty much natural for me and I enjoy it so much. Its tough but the best way to bond with my kids. I love the closeness I feel with them. I was pretty devastated that I was going to quit nursing but I honestly was so run down I just didn't think I could do it anymore. That night I told Brandon I was going to just try letting the babies cry themselves to sleep if they woke up. Its so hard to do that but I just needed some sleep. I put in ear plugs and then put on my noise blocking head phones and went to sleep. I didn't wake up until 5am when Sawyer came and got in our bed. I asked Brandon if the babies had cried at all and he said he didn't hear them once. I was shocked! They had slept 7 hours! Ever since then they have been sleeping 10 hours!! I now know that I was not meant to stop nursing just yet! The Lord truly answers prayers no matter what they are! So blessed to know I have a Heavenly Father who knows and loves me!

That is wonderful for you:) Wish I lived closer, I would come snuggle the little ones, while you slept/blogged.. whatever is more important.
What a neat experience. I am so, so grateful for a Father who shows himself in my daily life and, from time to time, shows me through little miracles how much he really does love ME.
So glad you have been able to keep nursing. I love it so much, too.
so neat. not sleeping is so hard.
