Life with 3 month twins

It's been pretty crazy. Probably not as crazy as you would think, since the twins are only 3 months. Actually, if you're going to have twins, I would highly recommend having boys like mine. They've been sleeping through the night since they were probably around 8 weeks. Maybe even younger. However, they do not like going to sleep, especially in their crib. That makes "us" time a little more difficult. They usually do not fall asleep until midnight or later, but then they'll sleep in until 11 or so. I mean, they wake up off and on in the morning, long enough to get a quick bottle in, but then they're back asleep. Lately though, they've been sleeping all the time!! I almost don't know what to do with my time! I actually get to clean things on occasion, which is nice. I had previously given up the thought of cleaning during the daytime while John is at work. However, for the last couple of days I have been able to do a couple of chores! I've even been able to make dinner!! I mean...I've made easy, simple dinners, but still!! A dinner is a dinner, right?! We even started going to the gym. Gold's gym has a Kids Club. They'll watch your kids for an hour or two while you work out. It's pretty awesome. Until they're 7 months, they'll only watch them for an hour, but hey! Lets be real. I'm so out of shape that an hour is almost too long! It's so crazy to think that the things that I used to easily do can make me so sore now! But that is motherhood at its beginning stages, I suppose. The boys are doing well. Caidan's big thing is that he wants to be a "big boy". I don't think I've ever seen such a dramatic little 3 month old, but I don't know how many 3 month olds I have really paid attention to. He is very, extremely stubborn. He would probably cry until he died simply out of anger of us not doing what he wants us to do. A lot of the time, that thing is standing up. He LOVES to stand up. Unfortunately, he does not quite have the balance or all of the strength that he needs, so in order for him to stand up, you have to hold him up on your lap, or stomach, or chest...which means my arms get very tired and my c-section area keeps getting swollen. Oh the things you do for your children!!! He is pretty amazing, though. He can pretty much hold himself up, he just needs the balance. He's very strong. And he has the cutest chubby cheeks in the world. His nick name is Superman. I think that one day his stubbornness will be a great strength of his. Johnny pretty much just sleeps. I mean, he'll wake up every once in a while for a bottle, but usually right after he wakes up, he'll just want to sleep some more. That kid is growing so quickly! I call him Lil' Hercules. He has the Hunt build, so he looks more athletic than Caidan does. He has a much bigger build and it looks like a football player. He also has a cute little swirl of hair at the front of his hairline and these huge, beautiful blue eyes. His eyes keep getting lighter and lighter. Caidan's have been getting darker. He is such a gorgeous little boy! One thing that he likes to do is sit up. He needs more support, but he really enjoys it. He also likes to smile and talk to people when he's in a good mood. Oddly enough, his favorite place in the house seems to be the changing table. Sometimes if he's fussy, we'll just put him on the changing table and he'll cheer up and start cooing and smiling...it's really weird, but completely cute. John is doing well at his job. He loves being able to help people out, but it getting tired of talking on the phones. He's so busy, I feel sorry for him. He is also taking a couple of online classes, as well as being a phenomenal father and husband. He's such a sweetie. He is always willing to help me out and do whatever I ask, even if I'm just being lazy and it's something that I could easily do myself. I am so lucky to have him. He's hoping to eventually get into intelligence. He's tired of being a cook. I decided to stay in the Army. I have a very good until here and I actually fit in. I've been doing pretty well in this unit. It's awesome because we're actually doing the things that I wanted to do when I joined. I've been thinking about getting a job, but sometimes it just does not seem feasible. Daycare is so expensive. It would eat up my whole paycheck if I worked part time and half of it if I worked full time. I have determined that doing what I do, I make a notional 1400 a month. Too bad it's not real money. We've also been talking about moving back to Utah. We feel like it's the place that we want to raise our kids. We just need to find a really good job there for at least one of us before we do move back. Therefore, it might be a couple of years. John should graduate in about 2 years, so when he graduates, we're hoping to find an intel job there for him. It's a much better atmosphere for families. I mean, my family is there, for one thing and they are much more positive than John's family. Secondly, the school districts are much better. There are more things to do as a family in Utah. Everything that you can do in San Antonio, you can do in Utah, plus some. So that's what's going on. There sums up my life right now with my wonderful family.
