Delay of Game Penalty

Look at me, I found time to watch one football game this season and I think I'm a big shot, speaking the language and everything.
Sorry for the delay on my usual Thursday postings (as if you are waiting with breath that is bated). We've been even busier than usual around these parts.  Cal came back from Japan and the babes and I drove back home. They only cried two thirds of the way this time (I've got to have the only children in the world that do not fall asleep in the car).  We are all very happy to be back in familiar territory and are working on getting back in our groove. Traveling really throws the little ones off their game, we have to slowly get back to our regularly scheduled programming. 

Just keeping it real
Is it normal to be a touch afraid of your children? I'm asking for a friend...
In all honesty, I find myself slightly fearful of them.  Is that common? And I don't mean it in a "Raising humans is scary" sort of way because I think that's obvious. I mean it in a "I feel like I'm watching a scary movie" way.  Once we get them to sleep, every peep, groan and rustle sounds more like the bath tub scene in Psycho to me.  They are such sweet, fun, happy babies when they are awake, but I definitely cherish the moments when they are sleeping, too.  I very nervously anticipate the not so sweet sounds of crying coming over the monitor speakers. I even hear it in my dreams. I tip toe by their door so as not to wake them. I whisper even when I'm a floor away from them.  Is that normal?

Progress
Everyone continues to entertain us and keep us busy. This week we are sharing our first cold, which has been exhausting. It's a new kind of desperate feeling for me to not be able to make my child feel better. We are working through the sniffles and coughs and have our fingers crossed that it is on the way out.
Dylan has been enjoying the exersaucer, and loves to be sitting or standing up. He is finding his voice and really loves to see just how loud he can be! Hudson loves to giggle and does so with his whole body, he likes to be read to and is partial to his Momma.  Sloane is becoming such a curious and nosey little girl.  She has been enjoying touching and squeezing anything she can get her hands on.

Hopefully we will be back into the groove soon and the posts will not be so long between.

17 weeks and counting

So happy together
