The "pacifier" post below got me thinking...

...just how different a year can be!!  I remember last year around this time (a little later - my boys were still in the NICU last year at this exact time) I was up every 2-3 hours, either pumping or feeding, watching the *worst* tv has to offer at 2 am, falling asleep with the pump on, not knowing what day it was, barely having time to brush my teeth, let alone the "frills" like shaving my legs or taking a shower longer than 3 minutes.  I didn't wear my contacts for months, and I lived in yoga pants.  I learned to sleep with my arm in the bassinet, to re-pacify whoever was fussier (usually James.)

It was completely worth it, but I think I should re-read this post every time I think "Maybe just one more baby...."

  • Makes me feel a lot better to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel, yet thinking it will take a year to get better makes me really sad. 
  • I am so done but, if it were *just* the twins, I'd probably still be thinking about that "one more".

  • Yeah, I do that whole "man, I would love to have just one more" and then I think about all the things you are mentioning above and realize that I must be BSC to think I can go through that again.
