Blessed quiet
I hope I’m not jinxing it, but WOW! Mom had a swing sent to us and it arrived on Tuesday.
(Okay, so I did jinx it. As soon as I typed that Lucas woke up and Kyla soon followed. But after bottles, diaper changes, and some cuddling, both are back to sleep.)
Anyway, as I was saying… The swing has worked out well. Lucas will sit in it when he’s awake (but not every time) and stays asleep in it for much longer than in the bouncy seat. I put him in it when I needed to take my shower. He was awake, but not fussy. By the time I got out of the shower he was asleep and stayed that way while I comforted Kyla (she did not sleep through my shower), washed bottles, folded laundry/started a new load, and even through me eating lunch! I was amazed! I think the only reason he woke up is because he was hungry. He didn’t want to go back in the swing after eating, but that’s okay. He’s sleeping on my chest at the moment. (Boy am I getting good at the one-handed typing!)
I wish I could say Kyla’s been as easy today. Starting yesterday she became my fussy one. As a matter of fact, here she goes again! BRB!
Okay, Lucas is back in the swing and Kyla is on me… No rest for Mommy!
Anyway, as I was saying, Kyla has been very needy the last couple of days. I just can’t figure out what is wrong. And if you don’t take care of it (whatever “it” is) right away she goes into her screaming-bloody-murder phase. Some time I’m going to have to get a video of that to torture her with when she’s a teenager.
In the mean time, I did take quick pics of the calm before I started to type the first time:

Calm Kyla (don't let her fool you!)

Ahhhh…
For those who have been praying, we have our A/C fixed!!!!
They came yesterday around noonish. I’ve been enjoying sitting in my new recliner and watching the babies sit in their bouncy seats (or rocking them in the chair when need be).
Mornings and evenings/night seem to be the rough time with the twins. That’s when they’re the most awake. They sleep a lot from about 11-6. We really need to adjust that schedule. :/
