Mommy's little piggies

Time is flying! I had school orientation today, got all the financial aid stuff sorted out. Having to retake anatomy and physiology 1 and 2 and microbiology (and their labs) because they can't be older than 3 years and of course mine are. At least they're classes I like, especially micro!

The last few nights have been rough with the twins. They are so fussy in the evenings and at night. They just cry and cry. Can't wait until they outgrow the colic. If it's not soon I will lose my mind for sure. Breastfeeding is still going well. I have become somewhat of a breast milk hoarder and cannot be reassured that I have enough in the freezer or that I'm making enough. Though the twins are HUGE and I pump more than they eat. Still. You can never have too much. Even with oversupply. :)

Jaden (who will be 5 next month) is a night owl and has a really hard time going to sleep, especially since the twins are usually crying and we all share a room. Some of you have been wondering what it looks like to have 2 adults and 4 kids in one room so I'm going to post a video on Facebook in just a few. Anyway, the pediatrician suggested Jaden take melatonin each night (this was about a year ago, he's always had trouble). I'm not sure if I should try it. And how would I get it in him? Anyone have experience with children and melatonin?

Gage is still having some aggression but its almost always towards Jaden. He loves the twins soooo much and he is so great with them. He fetches anything they need or I need, and loves to talk to them and make them smile. He and Jaden do play together more than they fight though.

This is my first time blogging from my phone. I still hate this phone, I think even more than I did when I first got it. Want my iPhone back for sure. If something happens and this post doesn't save, I'm throwing it in the trash.

I'm gonna run and make that video while I can, I hope to update the blog more often! Thanks for reading :)

    Shell, melatonin is great.. J.J. was on Remmeron and once I realized all the side effects and the reasons a person takes it,I started him on melatonin and it works great w/out any side effects!!! Crush it up and put it in some pudding or something that he likes, if he won't just swallow it, J.J. has always been a great pill taker due to his ADHD meds so this wasn't an issue for us.
