So, today has been weird... well, starting last night it got weird, I guess. Jackson and Evelyn wanted to go to sleep around 6:00 in the evening when usually we put them down between 7 and 8 (they can play for that hour but they go to bed when they get fussy or at 8, whichever comes first). They usually sleep until 7-8 the next morning. Last night, we held them off until 6:30 for bed and that was a struggle, and then they still slept until 7 or so today.
By 7:30, John and I were feeding them breakfast, and by 8 they were already acting sleepy. We held them off until 8:30 (they usually don't nap until 9-10 for the first nap of the day). Then, they were up around 10:15 or so and played until 11 when I fed them lunch. They took most of the contents of their bottles, and then Jackson had only 2 (willing) bites of food and Evelyn had about 4. Then the fussing escalated and they just wailed and moaned and cried no matter what I did... after trying another food choice, we moved onto the toys and then to physical play, but nothing seemed to help much, especially with Jackson the Tyrant.
By 11:45 they were rubbing their eyes and Evelyn grabbed a blanket and started sucking her thumb. By 12:15 I put them back down (usually afternoon nap doesn't start until 1:15 or so) and they were out in 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, when it comes to ME, the following statements are true: my hair is falling out and is noticeably thinner than it was prior to having kids which freaks me out (not to mention creates styling issues), I have started taking 2 prenatal vitamins to try to make up for whatever nutrients I am already lacking while trying to share with the twins via breast milk, my skin goes from dry to normal to oily by the week, so I have breakouts AND actual chapped, dry skin on my face at all times, and I answered 'yes' to nearly every question in an online questionnaire designed to determine if a person should talk to a physician about general anxiety disorder. It just keeps getting better!
Ok. Well, that's the news... I'm off to shower I guess. We'll see how the twins act tonight; I'm wondering if the top teeth are about to come in and maybe they aren't sleeping as deeply as they could during night and so they are wanting to nap more during the day, but who can say? Typical mom; I am worried they are sleeping too much and freaking out as to why that could be. I know that a grandma or a dad would say, 'if they're tired, let them sleep!', and so I will do just that.
Now, what to do about my skin and hair?
