Mothers of Multiples

Tonight was a rough one for me, I will admit. For those of you that know me, you would probably say that I have taken having two babies at once in stride. Don't get me wrong, I think that most mothers of multiples do but, I try not to let things faze me when it comes to taking care of them. I can usually get things done but tonight I needed another pair of arms. I think that if God is going to bless you with more than one baby he also needs to bless you with an extra set of arms to come out only when you really need them, LIKE TONIGHT!!
I have two sick babies... I don't know what would be worse, having one get sick then the other get sick or have them both get sick at the same time. So far they have both been getting sick at the same time. They just have colds, Carter's nose is like a faucet and Morgan's is running a little but she is mostly wheezy. About 6:30 they were both ready for jammies and bottles. I got them changed and made their bottles. Craig and Keagan were heading out to go look for mushrooms since there was a break in the rain and they had been cooped all day. Craig asked me if I needed any help and I told him no since I didn't think that tonight would be any different than a million other nights that I have fed them by myself while Craig has been busy with Keagan. So I get us all situated on the couch and Morgan will NOT calm down. She doesn't get upset that ofter but tonight was one of those nights that she was UPSET. I start to feed them and she is eating, coughing, gagging, crying, wiggling all over the place, did I mention crying. Finally after about half her bottle I try burping her and she lets out a burp from down deep and coughs up a bunch of crap, yuck. Then she is crying uncontrollably, so I try feeding her and she is gagging and coughing and crying. I put Carter down and try calling Craig, he doesn't have his phone. Where are my extra arms when I need them!!!!!!!! Carter is needing to finish his bottle and go to bed but now he won't eat and Morgan is crying and I finally put Carter in bed and he is just screaming....this horrible circle goes on for about 30 minutes until Craig comes back in and can help me. He gets Carter and settles him down and I try and console Morgan. I start Morgan's breathing treatment and she is ok while it goes on but as soon as its finished she starts crying again. She wants to eat but she would eat a little, cry and then burp and cough stuff up. After about 3 minutes she burps form way down deep and proceeds to PUKE everything back up all over me. Great!!!! Poor girl has it coming out her mouth and nose, she is crying because I am sure that its burning and now I am covered in baby puke. I get us changed and finally everyone to bed. Now I am going to go read the paper and then go to bed cause I have to work tomorrow. The one Monday that I really need to be home with my kids is the one I have to work cause someone is on vacation. Thank goodness for my wonderful husband.
