Sick Babies

I hate when my kids are sick!! Saturday night in the middle of the night, Antonio woke up crying owie and pointing to what we thought was his head. We gave him some medicine and he struggled with sleeping for the rest of the night. All day on Sunday he did okay as long as he was current with medicine. Once it started to wear off he would cry owie and point to his ear. Sunday night was another huge struggle with sleeping and complaints of a hurting ear. So, this morning I called the doctor's office and got him in for an appointment and boy am I glad that I did!
The pediatrician said his ear was one of the worst he had seen in quite a long time. He prescribed him some medicine and we were on our way. I sincerely hope he feels better soon and not just because I'm exhausted from a lack of sleep, but mainly because I feel terrible when my kids don't feel well. Thankfully, Analise is feeling okay! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it remains that way!

My kids are 2!

I just cannot believe that two years ago these kids that are running around my house, climbing on things, giving hugs and kisses, using the potty and saying I love you, were just tiny babies! When I found out I was having twins never did it cross my mind how amazing they would be when they got old enough to socialize and play.
I love taking them to the park and reading books with them. I absolutely love it when they laugh and when they give me hugs and kisses. I love when they call me Mommy and get slightly annoyed that Analise has taken to calling me Amy!
I love listening to Analise sing to her babies and watch her carry them around. She is so much like I was when I was little it is scary. I love watching Antonio play with his cars and trucks and stack his blocks. He is so meticulous. I just love watching him play.
This week has been amazing with it being their birthday. I try to reflect back on them being born and it is becoming a blur. I don't remember them being as tiny as they are in the pictures on my wall. I faintly remember the sleepless nights. I do know that I understand why people have more kids. God has given us this amazing ability to forget the bad and hard stuff and only remember the great stuff. Like them laying so still on my chest and sleeping. The way them smelled after a bath and the way they looked at me like they knew who I was.
I am so blessed to have two amazing children and an amazing husband to raise them with. I just cannot believe they are already 2. Before I know it, they will be teenagers!
