First, take a breath and say a prayer. You can never go wrong in asking for the Lords help, and guidance. I know I need it for sure. Then I just sit down, and start whatever process needs to be done. Feeding, extra burping (my kids have reflux so this happens a lot), or diaper changing. Then I get my calming shhhh voice started. This seems to work every time. They love the shhhhhh effect. For me I feel like I now have had the biggest round of Botox out there. Lol. Anyhow, then I usually try and rock one baby with one leg, sit one baby in the crease of my other leg, and them get my head close to the other baby so they know I'm right there. Somehow God guides me through. Now their are days where I feel like I will fall apart, but this is normal. Three babies, 24/7, is a lot of work. But, I believe if you keep God in the picture you'll be alright. :)
Now y'all see why I must work out...to keep up with this army of kiddos.
My always hungry little (big) Luke is already holding his bottle. Does it almost every time. The twins seem to always want to be fed at the same time...probably because when one hears the other they won't get settled until they are right next to one another. These two definitely have the twin affect for sure.
"Exercise thyself unto piety; for bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but piety is profitable for everything, having promise of life, of the present one, and of that to come." 1 Timothy 6: 7,8.
