both girls have been in such a bad mood most of the day, and when they weren't they were off the walls with energy. they were up all night babbling and started climbing out of their beds and playing in the middle of the night in their room. i'm really starting to regret keeping them in the same room. we have so much extra room in the house, but it just seemed right to put twins in the same room. i'm just exhausted. im six months pregnant with our third baby and it's a boy! i just don't have the energy to be chasing the girls and getting them to listen. trav had a luncheon with the chiefs today, so he wasn't home all day and let me tell you twin toddlers are a lot.
"girls, go sit down. daddy is almost home." i instruct as i'm making dinner.
"i wanna go color!" madeline exclaims
"yes!" charlotte responds
"ok fine, go into the playroom and color, but play nice!" i say and the girls run off.
i enjoy the peace for a bit till i hear the door to the garage open
"i'm home!" travis announces coming in through the door to the garage.
i hear his footsteps get closer to the kitchen.
"hey tay." trav says coming towards me
"hey." i smile and turn to him and throw my arms around his neck and rest my head on his shoulder as he kisses my head and rubs my back.
"rough day?" he asks and i simply nod
"what's wrong?" he says concerned
"the girls were just a lot today, i've been cramping, little man keeps deciding he wants to kick my ribs." i mumble into him
"it's a okay baby. i can take them for the rest of the night." he says to me and i lift my head.
"no i wanna help with the girls, but god damn i just wanna sit down." i exclaim and travis laughs
"ok, you go sit on the couch and i'll finish up dinner. i don't wanna hear how you have to show me or anything. i can do it. just go have a seat, get comfy, i'll finish up." he says
i make my way over to the couch and plop myself down and turn on the tv to law and order. next thing i know i am dosing off.
"hey sweetie." i hear travis say through my sleep and feel him put his hand on my cheek.
i open my eyes "how was your nap?" he asks
"good. i needed it." i say sleepy
"that's okay, you're doing a lot right now baby." trav soothes kisses my head making me smile
"you ready for some dinner?" he asks and i nod so he stands up and extends his hand for me to grab to help me up. we walk into the kitchen hand in hand to the girls at the kitchen table.
"mommy! no more sleepy?" madeline asks making me laugh
"no sweetie, but sometimes even mommy needs to rest just like maddie and charlie need to rest in order to play." i tell the girls as trav pulls out my chair for me to sit in.
