Well, this time I am writing in the middle of the afternoon. I usually do this when all of the babies are down for the night, but since Jason is home today, I am taking advantage of the time he isn't on the computer. He pulled a double shift on Sunday night. Soon though, he won't be working late nights. He will be working at the new UTC that is supposed to open in March over by Applebee's in Georgetown. They are putting a Pharmacy inside the clinic and he will be the Tech there. I can't wait. I like having him home at night. I have learned that 5or 6 years ago, I could go outside when it was pitch black, dogs howling, and never think twice. Now that I have become a Mom, I am complete chicken sh*t!!! I am constantly looking out the windows and the doors. I leave the porch light on ALL night long because a Sheriff Deputy told me that distracts them a little. Needless to say, I am glad that I won't be the only protector in the house during the evenings anymore. Miss Kimber has been a blast the last couple of days. She has been a big help with the laundry. She has a stool that she uses to put the clothes in the washing machine. I think I have written on this before. Today, she was trying to help and she happened to find her bathing suit that I was trying to hide from her. It is too small, and need I remind you that it is the dead of winter and a foot of snow outside. She decides she has to go swimming! So, she goes to her Daddy and he puts it on over her leggings. I have never seen her so proud in my life!! All she could say is "baby Suit" and "Momma, pool." She even grabs our hands and pulls us to the back door, remembering that that is how we went outside to the pool last Summer. We are still trying to potty train the little thing. So far, she is 3 strikes in for wetting her pants. I changed her diaper this afternoon and I kid you not, it wasn't 5 minutes later, she starts walking bow-legged and I noticed the puddle in the kitchen. Jason is a nervous wreck letting her walk around in her clothes with no diaper on. But, I have told him I don't know any other way. Maybe she will get tired of wearing wet clothes!The twins...Where do I begin. They are 5 months old and growing so fast!! Bradley is rolling over, Bailey is almost sitting up...I am looking for their teeth!!! I can't believe August was so long ago!!! And each day I look at them and I am astounded that they were both in my tummy at the same time. I know of course that they weren't that big, but I remember days before I delivered, I couldn't even wash dishes because I couldn't reach the sink. I even burned my belly with hot grease because it stuck out so far! The grease stuck to my shirt of course and I have 3 little brown burn scars on my belly! The last month of the pregnancy, they were both on my right side. And now look! They are here, smiling, cooing, reaching, and almost sitting. Bradley looks like a little man, not a baby. Bailey is my Mom made over when she smiles. I never dreamed of having twins, but for some strange reason the Lord thought I could handle it, and here they are. And I wouldn't have changed a thing. I know it sounds silly, but I wish twins on everybody now. I do this because there is a indescribable feeling when you have two at once!There were a few events that happened last night and for the life of me, I can't remember them. So, if I do, I will be sure to come back and tell you guys about it!
