Procrastination

So, I am the biggest procrastinator on this planet... With five babies, there are certain things you absolutely can not procrastinate on, like mixing formula, making bottles, feeding babies, etc... So when there is something that can wait, I jump on the opportunity. As you can see from Sidney, I thought that trimming nails could wait. Apparently, it can not! And let me tell you that the girls do not like mani/pedi's as much as I do.

When you see all of the adorable pictures of multiple babies, I do NOT know how they do it... I have tried a million times to get a picture with all five looking like their cute selves, but try as I might someone is always cranky or squinting or poking someone else or spitting up or whatever. Time to call the professionals!!!

I still can't believe that I have five!! My girlfriend Dana, my sister Amy and I were taking care of the babies one Saturday... And it felt like we were babysitting. We were like, "Where are the adults??"

  1. You are not the only mom who has thought those nails could wait, and that is with just one baby!!

    What cuties. I like 'real' photos over perfect ones any day.

    Hope my guys all get healthy so I can sign up to come hold a baby or two or three.....

  3. The babies are looking great. I know you must be EXHAUSTED! Hang in there.

    Just wanted to pass on a quick hint for nail trimming... wait until they fall asleep (nap time is best because you don't have to worry about a light waking them up) and then go in for the trim. My daughter used to hate her nails being done so that is what I would do. Hope this helps a little.

  8. Forget about the perfect pic - you'll pull your hair out attempting it! And candid ones are better anyway.

    They look so good! I hope you're adjusting well to being non-stop mommy! It has to feel so good to be back home - There's no place like home, baby!

    I learned to trim our babies' nails when I was bottle feeding them. Sure, they'd normally just get the left side done, but it's better than none. I'd balance the bottle on my chin and hold their left hand with my left hand and trim away. They were too absorbed in the feeding to care!

    Love from KS,

  10. Awww, aren't they just so cute! I wish we would be well over here too so I can come help out. We are about to take off for Europe but I think my hubby, who LOVES babies, needs to sign up while we are out of town!

  16. Praying that your family is coping ok with the devastation of Hurricane Ike. I came across your blog while searching for info on multiple births for my sister and have been following your blog since the birth of your precious babies. When I heard about the Hurricane, I immediately thought of your family having just come home to Houston a few weeks prior. I will continue to pray for all of those affected by the Hurricane but a special prayer will go out to you and your precious new babies!

    Take care and God Bless--
