Monday... 8:15 a.m. Marc leaves for work. okay..... lets do it.... Babies are happy.... We start the day out with a song or two.... they like my made up songs the best.... but only if they have the words Aubrey and Quinn in them..... Then... feeling a little hoarse, I begin to dance and twirl around the family room... This is a big hit.... for oh, about 5 minutes.... the rest of the day was pretty uneventful..... I tried to anticipate their needs before the crying started and most of the time it worked. Baby Einstein was a HUGE hit and they watched it 3 times..... I rested..... Feedings went well.... First one , then the other.... naps were frequent.... okay... I will live thru this.... 4:30 came and although I was tired.... it was a very good day.
Tuesday.... Holy Moly! Singing and dancing were just not doing it.... I need 4 arms ...fast....... okay.... one of them just has to cry for a while.... hate that..... unfortunately its usually Quinn because after a few minutes he just stops.... shuts down...... Aubrey really really cries with tears... that can't last long while Grammy Shelia is on the scene.... so Quinn waits and gets fed..... then Aubrey cries..... put down Quinn, hold Aubrey.... Quinn cries.... put down Aubrey, hold Quinn.... Aubrey cries.... and so on and so on..... wow is it only 11:30?? I can do this..... When Christie came home I kissed the babes and said " Bye Bye.... grammy is going to go to bed now". Bill gave me some necco wafers (Gods gift to humans) to take with me on Tuesday for a little treat.... I ate them on my drive home.... that is the first time I had a chance to even THINK about necco wafers.... or food for that matter.....
Bottom line: I loved every minute of it. I have a tremendous respect for Christie and Marc for doing this EVERYDAY..... and I will treasure my baby moments forever. Aubrey and Quinn may never remember Monday and Tuesday..... but I will.... and smile when I think about it..... Grammy's need to babysit.... its the only way to really BE with them..... I cherish my time with Walter and Lucy.... Grandma's are special people..... I pray you may all be one someday!
Hugs to you all...
Grammy Shelia
