The Schedule

I wanted to update that Allison and Levi dropped their 10:30pm bottle with no trouble at all!  Oh, it is so nice putting them to bed at 7:30 and not doing anything (besides refilling Leah's feed bag and the occasional random wake up) until 6am.  Just for my own memory I wanted to post on the current schedule of how my days go around here...

6am- wake up, fill Leah's bag, give Levi medicine, put bottles in crock pot, make oatmeal
6:30am- feed babies oatmeal followed by bottles
7am-8:30am- clean up breakfast, feed and let out dog, get babies dressed, other random morning chores, feed myself because I'm starving by 8am, then we always end with a Dance Party!
8:30am- put 5 down for morning nap
8:45am- do some therapy stuff with Leah
9am- Leah usually naps or has tummy time to music, I may take a 10-15 min power nap, I make myself somewhat presentable for the day
9:30am- give Leah medicine and do her first round of solid and tube feedings
10:30am- feed babies mid-morning bottle (they wake up anytime between 9:30-10:30am)
11-12- play time
12pm- lunch time spoon feeding
12:30pm- put 5 down for afternoon nap
12:45pm- do Leah's 2nd spoon and tube feeding
1ish- I eat lunch :)
1:30-2:15pm- my free time! - typically consists of making phone calls and/or household chores
2:30pm- feed babies again (they wake up anywhere between 1:30-2:30)
3-4pm play time
4-4:30pm- prep Leah's last tube feeding of the day and get everything ready for the walk
4:45-6pm- strolling around the neighborhood
6-7pm- dinner spoon feed, bath (if bath night), put on pajamas, evening bottles
7-8pm- put babies to bed, clean up, make bottles for next day, clean Levi's helmet, give Leah's medicine and night feed
8pm-? I eat dinner, exercise, do anything else I want to do before going to bed ( I do go to bed way too late, but oh well)

Basically, it's non stop!  But I would not survive without this schedule.  When there are enough people around I can do random things during play times- sometimes even run errands.  When I have to take one kiddo somewhere, volunteers come to fill in for me.  We are lucky enough to have a group of people who come babysit at least one night a month for Dave and I to go out :)  We have also started going to our Bible study group again- we just alternate who goes each week.  So, we do get to escape the monotony every now and then :)
