Let's just say I'm really ready for the month of April to be over. This month has been really hard! The boys had their first REAL sickness....the dreaded stomach bug. For the first time since becoming a mom I really felt so helpless, there was absolutely nothing I could do to make my babies feel better. I've realized that seeing your child sick when there is nothing you can do is the WORST ever! I think it might even be worse for a control freak like myself...LOL! Thankfully...the bug lasted a week and they are both back to normal. Well...they are feeling better but Caleb has been waking up around 2 or 3 every night. I feel like I am back in the newborn phase...one sleepless and exhausting phase I did not want to go back to...ever.
Helmets! They boys picked up their super stylish helmets this month. I was worried that they would be bothered by them or that sleeping with them would become a problem, but they wear them like champs! Truth is, I think they really don't even realize they are there...Good enough for me! I think I'm the one more bothered by them. I'm not quite use to the strange looks they get from strangers...most time I want to look at them and say "Nothing is wrong with them! They are just fixing their flats!" I also hate how hard it is to cuddle them. So far I've gotten one busted lip and a smack to the eye socket...OUCH! I am hoping to get them wrapped next month, I figure if they are gonna wear a helmet they are gonna look good doing it!

Eric accepted a new job this month with USAA, this is very exciting and brings new opportunities for him as well as for our family. The downside is that he will have to travel a few times this year for training. My first experience with this was last week. I was really nervous thinking about how I would handle being home with the boys 24/7 and not having Eric come home at 5 to help. I also was not looking forward to having to do the boys bath time routine by myself. Bath time was quite comical and a little harder than I had planned for....BUT, I survived! His trip made me realize just how grateful I am to have him and all of the help he gives. Props to those single moms who don't have an extra set of helping hands!
Two good things did happen this month and April wasn't a total waste :) The boys were baptized AND they had their first twin play date. My mom was able to do the boys baptism and it was so special. The boys LOVED seeing their Nana and as a result really put on a show for the congregation. Such lil flirts I tell ya! Their first play date was also a success! We called it "Muffins with Moms of Multiples"...I'm pretty sure the play date was more for us than the kids. The boys had a really good time and they just love their new friends
