She will be one month old tomorrow and Kyle and I were talking this weekend at how hard it is to remember life without her. She's my little 1% miracle that I am so happy I have. Right now she completes us. Right now I feel our family is whole :)
Friday night Kyle grilled chicken... it was yummy and nice to cook at home. He doesn't grill much, but I'm thinking with 3 kids... and restaurant visits few and far between that he's going to have to start *hehe*!
Then Saturday morning Heidi went on her first "trip" without me :(! She was so very excited to go. She kept counting down the days and then the minutes until KyKy was there to get her. They left about 10 am and headed to the beach. Saturday they just hung out at the beach house and swam in the pool and then went to Panama City and walked around and ate. Then today they went to ShipWreck Island and she had the best time.
Here's a picture of her before KyKy came to get her.
Kyle joked Saturday evening that Karter was the only one that was glad Heidi was gone. He was in the most wonderful mood and played and played. He needs that time and attention sometimes :)
I am sure that my title has sparked some curiosity. Well Kyle was on call this weekend. Of course he didn't get called out yesterday but it never fails he's going to get called out on Sunday. Well of course he did this morning! And today of all Sundays was homecoming at church... so I had to cook. I got up with Sophie pretty early and fed her and then she "helped" me get the corn in the oven. I was trying hard to get ready fast just in case he got called out. Well I just got finished blow drying my hair and he got the message. He had to go to Daleville! He hurried and dressed Karter for me and I hurried and dressed Sophie before he left. So that just left me to finish my makeup, get dressed, get the bags together, kids in the car, and corn out of the oven. I could do that! When Kyle left both kids started crying. I had them on my bed while I tried to find something to wear. I put one dress on, but it just wasn't working out, so I tried something else and so on.... I would pick up Karter and Sophie to get them happy and then try again. I finally just got overwhelmed with not being able to find anything to wear and both kids crying that I had a meltdown and cried too. Sometimes you either have to laugh or cry. I try to laugh at most, but this morning just wasn't one of those. SO I honestly just closed my eyes for a second and said to myself "Just calm down".... and I got my act together and off we went.
I missed Heidi SO much. She beat us home... and Jon Wesley, Leigh Ann, Shelly Kate, and Miley Grace were all "down the hill" so Heidi was down there when we got home from church tonight. She wasn't as excited to see me as I was her...but I think that's just the older she is getting kind of thing. We were down there a little while and then they all went and visited with Grandaddy Colquett for a little while and I stayed back with Sophie and got her ready for bed. After they got back Heidi was in a crabby mood and got in big time trouble with her daddy for back talking and not minding. I don't know what was into her. It seems like here lately anytime she spends the night with someone and comes home she is not in a good mood. She later blamed her meanness on not having a nap. Anyway... she's cuddled up next to me now :)
This is Ms Starla and Soph at church tonight.
Update on Karter.... still teething!!! He slept better last night... still not great, but much better. Thursday night was the worst night "sleeping" wise that I think we have EVER had. I honestly wish someone with twins had of started blogging from the very beginning... on. It seems like once we get one back asleep or almost asleep the other wakes up... or when I put one down the other is up. Karter here lately very seldom sleeps all night. So it makes for interesting nights that's for sure. I've never had twins, but I know this is pretty close to it.
I go to the doctor tomorrow!! Hard to believe it's been 4 weeks already. The time has flown by!

Sweet post, Toyia. I think we all get a little overwhelmed from time to time, but you are such a great mom! I've never had twins or babies close in age, so I commend all moms with both and know they both hold there challenges. However, I think it would be harder having two babies close in age because they are going through different stages and their needs are so different! Keep up the good work!
