Yes, yes we are! Yesterday, while Mark was at work, Mom and I thought we would head out with all three kids! Need I say any more?
Okay, picture this: Superstore with two shopping carts. Drew is at the top of one and Ethan, in his car seat, is at the bottum of the same cart. In the next cart is Sophia in her car seat. Drew's legs are dangling down and linked into the bottum of the second cart so we only have to push or control one cart. Drew called it a train and DID NOT want it to be seperated.
All was okay until a couple minutes into our shopping experience when Sophia started to cry, so Mom picked her up. Then Ethan started to cry and I picked him up. By the time we were at the check out Ethan was in an all out panick for his food. So I took Ethan and Drew to the van. Drew didn't want to go yet. We got to the van, got Drew in his seat and then started breastfeeding Ethan in the back of the van. Then Mom came back with Sophia. At that point Drew had to go pee, so Mom took him back into the store. By the time they got back I was breastfeeding Sophia! Finally we were done and on our way. Wow! Tiring! It's good I can laugh about it now.
Next errand . . . !

I Just you to know that you are such a good mom, Andrea. It's so nice of your mom to help you out. If you can't find a babysitter for Sat. evening, I will be happy to come and stay with Drew. I hope you will be able to get some rest. God bless you all over there in your new world.
Is it wrong that I laughed hysterically while reading this and picturing the mayhem?? I'm so glad that you could laugh about it afterwards. :)
Andrea,
Thanks for visiting my blog - you're welcome to keep stopping by.
I read the superstore escapade entry to my husband and we laughed knowingly - and we just have two babies - no two year old.
Twins are quite the adventure. We're at the 5 month mark now with our twins (born at 38 wks in June) and are starting to have more energy, though sleep is still a hot commodity some nights... most nights. I don't feel like I'm constantly breastfeeding anymore, but this could be because I'm just used to it. :)
I look forward to checking back here now and again to watch your little ones grow.
Aimee
