    I'm balancing taking care of an 11 month old while 34 weeks pregnant with twins. It's been the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I really don't know what's going to be harder. What I'm going through right now or when they're born

    I'm tired and grumpy with my 3 year old. I am ready to get baby here, but I'm afraid how he's going to react to a new baby in the house. He's been the only child and grandchild since he was born. He doesn't know what's about to hit him.

    I'm exhausted with Christmas stuff and my MIL being int he hospital.  We took on too many responsibilities with her out of commission and the kids have had holiday shows at school (2 and 3 years old) yesterday today and tomorrow.  They  are cooped up in the afternoons and driving me nuts.  I've been trying to give them something to do everyday but I'm so shot and then they suffer for it.  They are driving me nuts and I;m no fun right now :(

    I'm on bed rest, so I feel like I can't really help out much at all.  My MFM doctor says that I can move around some, but once I start to feel a lot of BH to go lay back down, so I use that time to play with my son.

    My son said " I'm ready for Christmas, Santa is bringing me race cars and fire trucks" I thought it was the cutest thing, so I went on Amazon and bought him another race car.


    edit- my other part that I answered got cut off, and now I don't feel like retyping it

    My son eventually warmed up to Santa so I could snag a picture of him standing in front of him! My daughter and I had a 2am snackfest...well she woke up starving and I watched her eat. She was all smiles and babbling away it was really cute (she is 1)

    Rants/Raves/Questions:
    Croup has arrived just in time for the holidays. Started with both having congestion (from my nephew who had it this past weekend) and now the coughing. Started last night with both of them. Yay. Sleepless nights are fun.

    my mom stopped by yesterday, and told me how lackluster my Christmas decor is this year. .... thanks mom, my house is under construction, my husband and I are working full time and I'm pregnant as shit. Feel free to breakout the rest of my decorations put them up and take them down.

    Looking forward to seeing their faces on Christmas morning. Seeing the christmas belief in their eyes and the excitement of giving their cousins gifts.....also for the food. Mmm mom and mil are fantastic cooks and I love me some food.

    My 18m old had a terrible nap day the other day and by the time evening happened I was done. It's the holidays though and my brother is in town so we went to visit. All my family kept commenting on how grumpy I was . Grrrr really do like the third time in my kids life I am a little on edge and they all have something to say. We are all really close but it was frustrating. 

    What was the best part of your week with your toddler?
    best was him playing with his aunt/uncle he doesn't see often

    Rants/Raves/Questions:

    My three year old seems to think that the world is ending every second even though the baby isnt evem here yet. Juggling her and this pregnancy has been rough were potty/night/bed training and my so is out of town till after the birth. Shes excited to be a sister but i think my hormones/emotional stresses are rubbing off on her. 

    The best part of the week was when my LO decided she was going to help me pack her and my bags for the whole labor part and then she helped me set up the play pen. ;) we rolled it all over the house and i got to explain to her what everything was for and where it went :) 

    I just have no idea what to do with her. These last few weeks are precious to me because it will never just be me and her again where were not sharing everything including part of my brain with the new baby. I dont know what i should do to help her and make special memories with her that wont induce labor (shes really active)
