London and Sydney October 2010

Sydney Darlene






London Earlene

London and Sydney are 4 months old!!!

Well atleast they will be in 10 days. London is so big, she is a ham. Sydney is still smaller. Im starting to get a little more sleep. London and Sydney are the tag team champions of the world. They just went to their NICU clinic appointment. They are developmentally well they are doing everything they should be doing. I dont know if I wrote about this before but when the twins were first born I was a little worried about London because she looked funny about the face. Not funny like newborn funny but like it could be something wrong with her. Her face is flatter on the left side, its not as noticeable now because she picked up weight and her face is fat. But if you look at her from the top of her head down its really noticeable. Pretty much her whole head is lop sided her ears arent even with each other. She has ''plagiocephaly''. Basically because she was twin A her head was down in my pelvis and the weight from her sister on top of her caused her head and face to become a little disfigured. And I use the term ''disfigured'' loosely, its not that bad but its noticeable. I feel so bad because we kept saying that she looked like Sylvester Stallone. It can be fixed so thats a good thing. She has to see a neurosurgeon and get fitted for a helmet. They say the earlier you have it done the easier it is to fix. They keep saying the girls are identical but I never thought so. The Dr said not to be surprised if they look more alike after they reshape her face and head. Normally specialty appts take a while to get, hopefully it wont be too far away.

Sydneys head was funny shaped but her face wasnt distorted, and her head seems to be fixing itself.. So she doesnt need one

Parenting all of my children is a chore but dealing with 2 infants is a job. It gets really hard sometime. Especially because Babe is always at work and I dont have any help. I have to get all 5 of the kids together, give them breakfast and take them all to school. 2 different schools. Its rough. I volunteer at the oldest boys school in the evening, still have to go home make dinner, do homework and get everybody ready for the next day. All while taking care of the Twins. I swear sometimes I come so close to a meltdown but I dont even have time to have a meltdown lol. I dont get a minute to myself but it doesnt even matter as long as my family is taken care of. I'll have my time one day.
