Ever since I understood what tandem nursing was, I knew I wanted to do it! I have always wanted children close together... I myself have one brother 8 1/2 years younger than me. We grew up close because I wanted him!! haha... I desperately wanted a little brother and when I finally got one.. I made him my best friend!!! To this day we are very close! But I wanted my children to have a close(in age) sibling because that was something I always desired... All of my cousins had a sibling about 0-4 years apart, we have a set of twins :-), I was always jealous of them... at the end of the day they had someone to go home with... to play with.. to have funny secrets with... Tim shared the desire with me and we started trying for Locksley as soon as we could after we had Holden! I was so excited to have close siblings and also to be able to have the possibility to tandem feed. Now.. you can call me crazy.. but I am one of those "annoying folk" who believe in baby led weaning... I probably won't be feeding a four year old in public.. but If they still want it in the morning and bed time at that age... I am more than willing to accommodate! I love being able to feed my children and have that bond and connection. On a personal level it makes me feel adequate... If you are a mother you probably can relate to the feeling of constant worry... that "Am I doing a good job" thought line... watching my boys grow at such young age when I am their source of nutrition is beyond confirmation of doing the mom thing alright! haha...
Any how while I was pregnant with Lock, I imagined rainbows and puppies and how lovely tandem feeding will be.. I mean two babes on the boobs at the same time.. haha.. I imagined how simple it would be... I looked up the benefits of tandem feeding... the children experience a bond and learn how to share... so I imagined Holden just molding into this perfect sharer.. haha... Well.. reality is it is FAR more difficult than I expected.. One hand to hold Lock and make sure I don't suffocate him with my large boob.. and then deal with a squirming toddler who has become quite curious as to what his baby brothers eye ball feels like... haha.. There are very sweet moments... like Holden patting Locksley's head and waving to him.. moments I wouldn't change for anything and I can't wait until Lock is older and can sweetly grab for his big brother! I find emotionally it is exhausting... Locksley needs to eat many more times than Holden... but when he see's him on he gets jealous and wants in on the action... I worry because I want to save the other side for Locksley but I don't want Holden to feel rejected... And heaven forbid break into a fit... haha.. I feel like sometimes I hide from Holden to avoid a confrontation during Locksley's feeding time... There are about two times a day where I will let Holden join us.. I like to save Holden's bed time feeding all to himself! I want that us time.. just like i want the us time with Locksley's last feeding of the day! It really has been a lot of balancing... and Having school in the evenings has really put pressure on my schedule and stresses me out... but in the end it is all worth it! I wouldn't trade the moments for anything! Do you/Have you tandem fee This post is just a little food for my own thought... I had a realization yesterday while taking pictures of my boys.. I lifted the camera up over my head and lined the red light up with Holden's face and snapped away! Minutes later he took the camera from the bed.. held it up over his head and pushed buttons smiling with glee. Then I realized he was mimicking what I had just done... Then I took my two thumbs and pointer fingers and held them up to my face and pushed the imaginary camera button and said "cheese" to him.. He looked at me puzzled.. then held the camera above his head and pushed the button again.. I then realized that my children's generation do not know what a viewfinder is in the camera.. the universal symbol of taking a picture is now pretty obsolete... we should hold the invisible object over our heads and snap.. or hold them away from our bodies. haha... or turn our wrists for the ever famous selfies! Anyway.. there was no real point to this.. haha.. just food for thought.. I hope you enjoy the pictures I took of my boys!          So... the time has come where I OFFICALLY have a walker! Holden has been walking pretty much full time for the last two days! And as I heavy heartedly predicted the bruises and scrapes have been pouring in!! AAACKKK!! I can't stand it!! My heart hurts for the little guy every time an accident occurs! It's adorable when he lands on his bummy and get's right back up.. but those times when his forehead catches his fall.. oh man.. I want to cry with him! How do I refrain from wrapping him in bubble wrap and then letting him go for it??? Just yesterday... We were all getting ready so Tim could take me to school (we are down to one car for the moment.. and I needed Tim to bring Locksley to me so I could nurse him) anyhow.. Holden was being such a big boy walking to the car with us... We were loading up the car and Holden turned around to look at something across the street.. when he did.. he stumbled and fell forward... catching his upper body with his hands.... BUT THEN... the poor guys noggin is so large that it just plummeted to the gravel drive way... I teared up as I picked him up and cuddled him! It took all I had not to whip my boob out in the middle of broad day light and my neighbors and nurse my poor fella! He got over it when he saw his mini plush super hero in the car.. but it still haunts me... Once again... How do I refrain from wrapping him in bubble wrap??????? How do you cope with a new walkers injuries??? 
NO.. This is not a helmet!!! Haha! He was just too cute with his little winter beenie that I'm pretty sure we must retire and give to Locksley due to being too small!
This evening the tallish weather took me by storm! I wanted to be outside! after spending most of the day inside with a one year old who is teething and the melt downs seem to be in plenty, I decided we were going to go for a family walk before dinner time! What a wonderful idea! Tim and I strapped on our carriers, and loaded our boys up and went a strollin... I thought about bringing the family dog, Teague, but decided against it this time, for one reason, fear... When we have brought him on our family outings with the stroller it seemed to be nightmarish... although he is very well behaved he some how forgot the "heel" command, amongst other important ones such as "sit" and "stay", since Holden was born. The stroller and Teague are not friends... he loves cutting it off and nipping at the wheels and tugging on his leash.. even with the prong collar... (Don't hate me, I do not feel they are cruel... I had a friend try it on me before I ever put it on my dog! It's all about proper usage!!) anyhow I wanted to see how the walk with the carriers went then think about bringing him next time... Let's just say... next time he will be coming.. so easy... hands free!! Tim was front carrying Holden and I was fetal holding Locksley! It was so great.. no hassle moving a stroller over the ever changing levels of our sidewalks (really someone should do something about it.. they are soooo un even!) It was so simple getting ready and coming home... Tim changed position with Holden at one point because he thought that he wanted to face the front.. He was delighted! Holden loved looking at the trees and people and dogs... When we got home we didn't have to put away the stroller after unfolding it.. Man... why didn't we baby wear from the beginning???? Locksley was swaddled in a blanket all wrapped up and quite snug.. we did have to end our trip early because he spit up on me.. :-( But that stuff happens... I did realize on our way home that I forgot to put a jacket on Holden.. His arms weren't cold by the time we got home so no harm not foul.. but next time I'll remember! On a side note.. I AM OBSESSED with the prints on our carriers.. Tim's is the Beco Gemini and it is in the "Hero" pattern, and my carrier is the Lillebaby Complete Carrier and it is in "Organic Green w/ Finch" I am OBSESSED with birds! and I LOVE that my carrier has them on it! also Teal is my favorite color and... THE BIRDS ARE TEAL!!!! Besides esthetically they are so comfortable I feel like I could wear either one of the boys for LONG periods of time! I would love to review other carriers in the future, but for now the one's we have fit us perfectly! I also referred a friend the the Lillebaby and she loves her's as well! She uses her's daily to wear her two month old daughter to clean the house... she has a stage 2 clinger and otherwise would get nothing done.. and the moby wasn't cutting it for her! Very soon we will be filming a review and how to video showing different carrying positions as well! We look forward to showing them to you!            One thing I did not expect when I imagied the big brother that aholden would be.. was to be a big brother who steals and sucks pacifiers... Holden never took a pacifier regularly as a baby... He just never wamtef it after his first week.. well once my milk came in he was pretty good without one. He also always had a hard time getting them ti stay in his mouth.. well Locksley is a pacie man! He LOVES his pacifier! well... now Holden has mad it a habit to steal his brothers pacie and suck on it for long periods of of time! Oh bother... I'm really not sure what to do... I don't want to crate jealousy between them.. so I tend to let him have one of his own and give Locksley one of his own.. it fixes the stealing issue... but what of the sucking issue... he is teething so maybe its soothing? what do you mama's and daddies think? Should I try to break him of it.. or save that and see if he just looses interest soon?? 
Last night Tim, I and the boy's (really it was only the boys.. but they knew we wouldn't let them go alone... haha.. just kidding) were invited by some friends of mine from school to a bon fire! I was excited to go spend time with friends but I was also excited for Tim and I to wear our little guys with our new baby carriers. Once we arrived to our friends house we got out the carriers. I strapped my Lillebaby on and then took Locksley out of the car seat and wrapped him into a warm blanket in the fetal position and strapped him in... It was relatively easy and he looked quite comfy.. I was concerned with the big blanket swallowing him up and restricting his breathing.. however it did really well.... he rested his head on my chest and snoozed for most of the night! Tim on the other hand to waaay to long to get his beck carrier on.. but he blames me for using it last.. haha... but once he got Holden strapped in they were good to go... It was so nice to be able to have our boys close and be hands free. Holden wasn't in the carrier the whole night.. he was playing with our friends daughter for a long time and had a blast! Once we left the bon fire we needed to go to walmart to pick up some things. it was late at night and Holden had fallen asleep in the car. So Tim loaded Locksley in the carseat on the cart and I wore Holden in my Lillebaby.. He did not even wake up! It was fantastic. He rested his sweet head on my chest and just snoozed away! I have to say this new lifestyle is really wonderful! I was telling Tim this morning it will be so great going to Brown County (a local country shopping area) and wear the boys and ditch the stroller... I used to be quite dependent on the stroller.. and now I can see us moving more toward us both wearing them and only using the stroller when one of us have both of the boys or we are out somewhere all day! I am SOOO excited! And I am so excited to keep you all updated.. I wish I had a picture from last night! But I forgot!!!
Let me know you're experiences with baby wearing! how often do you do it? are you full time baby wearers and have you ditched your stroller? Just want to put it out there that I am an open book! If you ever have any questions or want to know more about me! Please let me know!!
So the time comes to tell my youngest son's birth story. It seems fitting as today he is 3 weeks old and just three weeks ago this morning I had the experience of my life!! Today we are still a week and a half from his due date. Locksley David Sexton was due to be born September 21st 2014, but we were lucky enough to meet him on his arrival, August 22, 2014. (Just warning.. very descriptive and graphic... I don't hold back!) It was a normal friday morning.... I slowly rolled my huge whaleish body out of bed when my son Holden woke me up hollering from his crib... I answered his calls and went and got him.. I nursed him his morning milk and changed his diaper and got him changed for the day... I went pee amongst this time and I noticed that I had a disgustingly huge wad of slightly pink discharge.... I had been bleeding slightly since wednesday.. My Dr. checked my cervix at that appointment and found that I was 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced... nothing too odd for me since I walked around a couple cm dilated for a few weeks with my first pregnancy. Anyhow... I sat down on my couch at about 10:30am and fed Holden a banana.. the TV was on... Now I'm not quite sure what was on... I fed Holden what he would eat of the banana and I ate the rest. I set it on a napkin on top of the couch and we were just watching TV. I was planning on a pretty lazy day since I had a bit of a common cold and wasn't feeling the greatest... I was sitting indian style on the couch.. I can't tell you what I did but all of a sudden I felt wet gush from my lady bits... I thought.. oh hell.. I just wet myself.... I didn't think I had to pee... I had just gone.. but then again..I was 8 1/2 months pregnant.... I could usually pee at any given moment... haha... I reached down to feel if it had went through my shorts before I got up.. and my hand was soaked... oh lord... a full dang bladder... I got up quickly from the couch.. and as I stood up.. GUUUUUSHHHH.... It began running down my legs.... OH MY.... I remember telling myself.. yep.. water just broke... I got to the toilet and it just kept coming... I kept trying to rationalize that I really had peed my pants... it wasn't really time for Locksley to come... I called Tim, and I called my mother and texted my best friend Nikki... At the point my water broke it was 10:45.. While I was on the toilet I noticed that when I wiped it was pink... and it did not smell like pee.. it was just more confirmation that my water really was broke and I was impending labor... Immediately I had to... ummm.. go #2 really badly.. I was going for about 15 min it was seriously uncomfortable I couldn't tell if i was having contractions or just poo pains... haha.. I was talking to my mom on the phone and she said " don't poo... you'll push the baby out.... haha.. yea right.. haha.. she told me to just relax.. do some laundry... pack my bag.. but whatever I did she didn't want me to ask Tim to take off work... let him get all the hours in he can since he will be off the next week or so with me... I agreed.. I knew we were in for a long day of labor just like last time.... boy was I wrong... At one point I recall telling my mom I was going to get in the bath.. she said.. don't do that.. just get in the shower... don't get in the bath... I don't know if thats safe... At this time the pain was starting to grow.. this did not feel like early labor to me.. It felt like relatively strong contractions that I had felt when I had finally gotten to the hospital with Holden... My mom told me she would send my dad or brother to my house to help me pack and get ready for the hospital...I decided to take Holden and lay down on the bed and try to nurse him for a little bit... we were probably laying down a whole 2 minutes when a contraction hit and I jumped up with the urge to poo again and ran to the bathroom... I had left holden by himself on my bed... oh lordy... this was worse than I thought... I call my mom as soon as I realized what I had done... "Mom... I need you to leave work and come here and help me get ready for the hospital... I just left Holden by himself on my bed... I can't manage these contractions and keep an eye on him at the same time..." She said okay and she would count down her drawer and leave... my mom works a whole 15 min from my house... So I knew help would be there soon... I tried laying down on the bed one more time and I remember being on the phone with Tim and I told him... "I'm getting the damn epidural this time.. I'm not fighting it.. this is far worse than last time..." I knew since I was in for hours and hours of labor.. if it hurts this bad now.... oh lord will it hurt 10 worse later... At this point I had Holden in the bathroom with me... pooing... again... my dog walked in and I walked passed me into the laundry room.. which is closed off.. I shut the door behind him so that I could grip the door handle during a contraction... Man it was so uncomfortable... I decided I would get in the shower... and try to labor in there for a while... so I got in and had the water spraying on my back... I had the shower curtain open since I did not care about water on my floor at this point and I wanted to be able to see Holden... Holden was standing up... leaning on the the tub.. he kept leaning over and kissing my butt... haha.. he is such a sweet boy and I think he knew I was in pain... I had a few very intense contractions... I remember thinking... "How the hell am I going to get clothes on and walk to the car when my mom gets here.... this hurts way too bad... they are going to have to call an ambulance to haul my sorry butt outta here.." I thought man I am really being a wussy this time around.. here I am in early labor and I want to throw in the towel... I then realized that my front door was locked and my mom would be there any minute... I mustered up all my strength and ran to the front door... unlocked it and cracked it open.. on my way back to the bathroom my mom was calling.. I answered it and she told me she was on her way... OOOOOKAYYYY... click... oooooohhh noooooo another contraction was hitting by the time I got back to the shower.. stepped over Holden and got back into my all fours position with the water spraying on my lower back again... The next contraction that hit I realized that I felt like I was pushing... well... jeeezee.. have I not pooed enough this morning... I don't want to poo in my shower.. and then it hit me... this is different... I literally was bearing down and pushing... I reached down and felt myself... OH MY... there is his head.... this is happening.... he is coming now... sweet Jesus.. I remember saying a prayer right then and there... I prayed for peace and safety while I delivered my son... and to keep Holden safe as he stood by... There was this peace and calm all over me... I remember feeling relief that the pain was almost done... I remember thinking logically.. once he is out then I just have to deliver the placenta and then the contractions will be done... clearly my mind was racing but only good thoughts were there... I positioned my knees far apart and put my hands down to feel his head... I pushed and I could feel his head ascend a little further but I could also feel it stop on my pelvis bones... My hips were not wide enough in this position... So I lifted up my left leg onto the side of the tub and balanced on my left hand and left knee I cupped his head.. I felt the ring of fire.. I knew it was time... after the ring of fire.. I didn't feel anymore pain...I pushed and his head came out... a rush of fluid and... errr... stuff.. came with it.. his head was facing behind me.. my EMT training came to me and I knew I was supposed to turn him as he came out.. but I could not see his head.. and I didn't want to wait too long to get the rest of him out... so I decided I needed to push again before the next contraction came... meanwhile Holden is still leaning over the tub giggling and kiss my butt... haha.. the water was splashing off my back and getting him all wet.. he was loving it! I pushed again and got his shoulders and body out... It didn't take long... the contractions stopped... THANK GOD!! haha... I went to grab him with both hands and pull him toward my chest... but he wasn't making it that far... I then realized that the cord was wrapped around his neck... I could not see this when I delivered... I tried to get it off with one hand holding him... but I couldn't... this was the only time I slightly panicked.. God really had granted my prayers and kept me insanely calm... I finally put his butt on the tub floor and guided the cord from around his neck and then got him to my chest and started slapping his back... he cried... relief... Locksley David Sexton was born at 11:30 am... just 45 min after my water broke that faithful morning... The only feature I really saw at this point on sweet Locksley was that his little ears were crinkled in typical premie fashion.. cuuutteee... ooookay... now.. to get him warm... I looked at Holden who looked at me with wonder holding his baby brother! I stood up and stepped over the tub.... GUUUUUSHHH... a TON of blood gushed down my legs and all over my bathroom floor.. I quickly walked to Holden's room looking for a blanket... bloody foot prints following in my carpet... I found a little blue one with green stars that was relatively thick... I wrapped him in it.. and waddled (cord still attached) back to my toilet... I sat down relieved... While I was delivering Locksley my mother and my brother called me... as soon as I sat down my mom called me again... My hands were covered in vernix from Locksley and it was hard to answer my phone but I finally did... My mom said... "Hey..." I said.... very calmly might I add... because I did not want her to panic.... "mom... he's here... please call 911... I need a ride..." haha... "oh... okay..." Click... haha.. then Tim called me... "Hey.." "Tim... I'm holding your son.." "Holden?!?" "no... Locksley..." "yea whatever.. what are you doing..." "No Tim... I'm not kidding... you need to meet us at the hospital..." "okay..." Click... hahah... apparently no one can speak when they are in panic mode... haha.. .and here I was... Just delivered my own child... in the shower... calm as ever.. I look down at poor Holden who is just sitting quietly on the bathroom floor next to a pile of my blood... looking up at me and Locksley... "Hi baby.. do you want to give your brother a kids.." He jumped at the opportunity... I gave Locksley a kiss myself realizing a midst all the commotion I had not properly loved on my new born... Holden scooted toward me and used my leg to prop himself up and gave him a kiss... and another and another.. I was explaining to Holden that this was his baby brother... when I heard a knock at the door... "Mom?" "No ma'am... it's the fire dept..." wow.. that was fast.. they beat my mother there... see how fast this whole thing played out??? I heard a few of them enter then I heard a man say "oh shit..." I said.. we are in here.. and he rounded the corner to my bathroom.. and said "oh thank God.. guys we have a baby in here..." He later explained to me that most runs he has that he see's bloody foot prints in the hall way are spontaneous abortions and he was soooo relieved to see the little baby! He and the about 3 others... one being a fire man that I knew from working at Rural Metro... (and here I am butt ass naked on my toilet) I told them that I have not yet delivered the placenta but I could feel the contractions start to come back... Then someone brought the OB kit and then I heard my mom come in the door... I said "Mom.. do you want to cut the cord.. you're just in time..." She said yes but then quickly changed her mind when she saw the blade and the cord... One gentleman guided a much younger gentleman how to place the clamps and cut the cord... They offered to let me cut it.. but I didn't really want to... I was really wishing Tim was there so he could have that honor... But the young fire gent was eager and I think a little thrilled by it... Once he was separated the young guy asked if they could take Locksley to do his apgar test and check him out.. i said sure... I had my mom take Holden.. just then I felt a little bit of a bigger contraction and said... "I'm about to deliver the placenta..." I held on to my door handle and pushed and it just fell out into my toilet... they told me they would have to take it and bring it to my Dr. I told them I figured as much and it looks far to large to flush down the toilet... and I asked them if I could shower off my bloody legs... they were more than happy to let me.. so I jumped in the shower... again... this time... not pregnant... I looked down at my belly... jeeze... it was flat... holy cow... I just delivered my baby.. in the shower... by myself... less than an hour ago I was sitting on my couch feeding Holden a banana!!! What a ride!!! I showered... and then I looked in the hall from the crack in my door and I saw Tim's dad standing in my living room with a bunch of other medical people.. I hollered to my mom to grab me a towel.. I dried off and ran to my room "Hi Scott.. what a day.." haha... I found some clothes and got one of the big pads i had left over from when I had Holden and bandaged myself up... I walked into the living room.. there were a TON of people in there... they said "ma'am we are going to need to get your blood pressure and such.. " I said "sure thing... can I grab a glass of water first.. I'm kinda thirsty..." "you can do whatever you want... sheesh.. you just delivered your own baby!" hahahah... I couldn't argue with that.. so I got some water and sat down on my couch.. I looked up and saw this young fire fighter holding little Locksley all wrapped up in trauma pads...you could tell he had quickly bonded hahaha.... I looked at him and asked if I could please hold my baby again... haha.. he said "oh yea sure..." hahaha... it was pretty funny... They asked if I was ready to go.. I gave Holden a kiss and told him to be good for my mom and then..... Yep.. so I walked out to the stretcher holding Locksley.. I remember mentioning to them that most new borns got get outside this fast... haha.. they wheeled me out to the ambulance and loaded me up... It's quite a different experience riding on a cot than pushing it... haha... The young fire man asked if he could ride with them.. he felt kinda invested at this point... and who could blame him.. haha.. I tried to nurse Locksley in the ambulance but it was just too bumpy... so I took pictures of him and texted my closest friends that I had had him about a half an hour before (not really sure of time..) in my shower.. haha... Once we got to the hospital they took Locksley to the NICU to check him out... I told them to please not give him any formula.. and as soon as they were ready for me I was ready to nurse him.. they said okay... I got to my room and Tim arrived shortly after... Meeting the young fireman who was quite invested... they asked us to bring Locks to the dept. so they could see him... I still intend to.. The pediatrician came to our room to "talk to us" she told us that Locksley was extremely cold... quite typical for an at home birth but also his sugar had dropped down to 23 and he was close to seizing... oh my... she told me they understand I didn't want him to have formula.. but it was do or die... so they gave him formula to get his sugars up... We went back to see him and Tim met his little guy for the first time.. he had an NG tube in his nose... poor little man... and monitors hooked up everywhere... I told them I would like to nurse when I could and they said that he had to get 4 blood sugars above 45 before they could do that.. I asked if i could pump for him and they said absolutely... so we went to the room so I could pump... his first sugar with the formula was 41.. not quite 45.. his second and there after from my breast milk was 81... That ladies and gentlemen is why breast milk rocks.. it is MADE for your baby!!! We also were pretty lucky that I already had a full supply of milk from feeding Holden and we didn't have to wait for the milk to come in... a lactation consultant who helped me set up the pump informed me that I would probably be pumping for a while... since babies learn to suck swallow and breath all at once at about 37 weeks... he might have a hard time since he is 35weeks and 5 days... but once they finally let me feed him he latched right away and hasn't had a problem since!!! They released him to come back to my room and we finally got to know our little guy... we were only in the hospital for two days! On his crib card the nurses were tickled to put Delivering Dr: "Mom" Nurse: "Holden" hahahah he was the infamous "Shower baby" haha They were concerned of jaundice because he was premie and because he was attached to the cord for so long.. and he tested red several times but the blood draws always came back normal... so we were lucky there... My experience still seems so crazy even to me... I cannot believe that is MY birth story... but hey.. I am not complaining.. I have two healthy little boys.. AND only a 45 min labor... I am told by my OB/GYN that I can expect to have very short labors from here on out... YAY... I joke that I will sneeze at the grocery store next time and just pop them out... haha.. but we will be waiting a few years for the next.. I need to feel not pregnant for a while... since I have been pregnant for pretty much the past two years... The one thing I hear the most is people saying they would have freaked out... or would have been scared.. .and to that I say... I didn't have time to be freaked out or scared... That and my prayer... God had everything in control.. from my emotions... to the fact that I locked my dog in the laundry room.. I heard him bark when the fire dept came in and I thought "Thank you God.. you really are in control!" Also God had me have him just minutes before my mom arrived because He knows she would have FLIPPED out if she had saw me pushing.. Stress would have filled the air... instead I had the most peaceful natural birth possible.. AND GUESS WHAT!!!! I DID IT!!! I had a natural delivery with out pain meds... on my hands and knees... alright alright.. not exactly how I would have planned it.. being alone and all with just a one year old... haha... But it was a great experience and such a fun story I cannot wait to tell him when he's old enough to understand :-) 
Locksley In the ambulance on the way to the hospital!
Again in the ambulance
This moment was the first time I cried since he was born... Seeing Holden love on him and kiss him really moved me! I am one blessed mama!!
Se how long his umbilical cord was... haha... we had to shorten it! haha
So as I said in my about me section.. I am currently a beauty school student. I have made a few awesome friends in there.. and we have formed a deal that we will all cut and color each other's hair for free! A genious plan! :-) well we made plans today to do Ashley's hair! We made a plan for everyone to come to my house since I have the two boys.. one of whom ns a new born... well of course dishes were not done.. I feel like my house is a mess.. but I got the boys fed at least haha... well Ashley arrived and since she is an experienced mom she was able to help me with the boys... the other ladies were unable to make it so we were faced with the challenge of a hair dresser.. a client... and two little boys... surprising thing went so smootly.. after some play time while I lightened Ashley's hair I got Holden down for a nap.. fed Locksley amd then began on the hair againmmm then Holden woke up and Ashley fed him lunch while I applied the color to her hair... now we were doing a cool design called ribbons of color which requires applying the color in foils in small sections.. so this part takes a long time... I got done with half of her head and then as they say... the poop hit the fan.... Holden began to get fussy.... then I smelled a lovely present tim had left in his diaper.. and then Locksley started screaming... so... with Ashley's hair half in color applied foils we decided to tke one boy each to change their diapers... well I lift Locksley up and realize that he has his first MAJOR diaper blowout... (I am normally a full time cloth diaperer but.. I dont have a newborn stash... and I didnt expect to have a 4 week premie... so for the time being we are using sposies..) any how... I tried to just change the diapwr ans clothes.. but the poo was multiplying by the moment... it was getting everywhere... so I decide he just needs a bath... so I leave Ashley with the two of them while I run back to the bathroom to prepare the bath... well I come back to the room to get him and of course I did not cover him with a diaper and he peed all over my bed..... as I said.. poo... and pee... was hitting the fan haha....
