8 Months

Oops, I drafted this post a while back and forgot to post it till now.  Here ya go.

The boys are 8 months old now!  I'll have to do a proper update soon, but here are some cute pics for now.

Let me say, we are busy, busy, busy!  As I mentioned previously, starting solids has filled up our schedule and it is go-go-go from 6:30am until they go down to bed (usually around 6:30pm).  The nice thing is.... they have started to sleep through the night!!!!  Well, mostly.  My husband usually stays up till 12 or 1 and he often has to settle them with a soother, and sometimes they wake up around 3 and need a little settling, but otherwise, I am sleeping the night through.  People, this is MONUMENTAL!  I haven't slept that well since pre-pregnancy, I'm sure.  I feel like a new woman!

As they are becoming more independent (in some ways), and dependent in different ways, I am finding it is hard to adjust to having more time.  Well, it's not necessarily that I have more time.  Time has shifted and I find that I have space in my mind to think about things other than the boys, and space to do things other than take care of the boys.  In a way, this makes me sad.  In another way, I am freaked out because I just don't knlw what to do with myself  I am not tbe same person I was 8 months ago  in a way, I am redefining wno I am, what I can do, whatI like to do...and that is a vilnerable place to be.  Its another new phase once again

Anyways, more on this later.  Im heading out on holidays and will catch up once I am back.  Ttyl!
