Screaming: is what you will hear if you visit the Berg home. Probably first from Madden, because the poor guy is still crying a lot. However, I do have to say that the medicine might be helping a bit. We have had a few moments of content awake time. Not many, but we've had some. Next, you will hear Paisley screaming. Remember when you all wondered how Paisley was adjusting and I told you that it was going well?! Um, I take that back. She is screaming and crying over everything. She wants me all of the time. She will only wear diapers with Elmo on them (and the pack comes with all Sesame Street characters!). She doesn't want to get dressed anymore (again!) and overall is just having a rough week. We are trying our best to give her as much attention as possible, but as you can imagine...it's really hard!
Smiles: Hudson gave us his first smile on Tuesday, March 16th! A few times a day he will give us a peek of the cute little smile! Madden has yet to smile, we are working on it...but the little guy is usually crabby...but hopefully it will come soon!
Scaredy Cat: Wednesday night Craig went curling for a few hours. The twins cried the entire time he was gone. And then I cried too! Poor Paisley and I read bedtime books through both boys crying, and finally after a couple of hours, I got them to sleep. After this night, I was SO scared for Craig to go back to work!!
Sunday: Craig returned to work!! And of course, he got ordered in to work a 13 hour shift (5 am- 6pm) on the first day! But, I am glad to report that it's going really well!! I've had a few times where both boys have been crying, but Hudson has been pretty laid back today and has let me tend to Madden when he's awake. And get this....I even brushed my teeth and threw a load of laundry in by noon!!! I know...amazing!! We will be heading to G&G Berg's for dinner and then daddy will be home!!
(Half of Hudson's smile caught on camera)
(Oh, boys...it's hard to get a good picture of you both! :) )
(Awww....H&M snuggling!)
(Our friend Gina and her son, Dylan came to visit.)
(And Heather and baby Jake came to visit too!! Paisley with her cousin!)
Saturday we had a play date at our house. It was really nice to see people!!!...I feel a little cooped up!!....and basically all of my friends have young kids, so it was nice to get together. Interesting how not that long ago our play dates consisted of miller lite, booty shaking and late nights...and now, Saturday morning, animal crackers and spit up. Gotta love it (and I do)!! In the above picture, Nash and Sophia and crawling around by Paisley, and in the picture below, Kya, Ella and Gavin are playing play-doh with Paisley. 
(Go Badgers!)
(Paisley doing a "High V".... a basic dance move. I mean, she only has 10 months until she is age eligible to enter dance...and she's gotta know the basic moves! :) OMG I cannot wait for her to be in dance. What if she doesn't want to be???? How dare you even think that!!! She will. The boys are still eating about every 3 hours at night. Some nights are okay, and some are bad. I'm averaging about 4 hours of sleep. If only I got 4 in a row! Wow that would be amazing!! For the past week I have been pumping and bottle feeding during the day, and nursing at night. However, as my first day home alone proved...I am not going to be able to pump when I am alone...so I've been nursing today. We'll see how long I can keep this up. Nursing twins....who spit up while they eat...is not fun, nor easy!
Okay, better run. Have a good week....and thanks for checking in on us! (And vote on the polls!)
