Oh man....

Been a rough night so far. The girls keep crying and we really can't figure out why exactly. I get home about 8:00 and Ruby is trying to cook dinner and get the girls bath ready while they sit in their swings quiet, but looking a bit off. I go in to tell them hello and they both start crying. I should have left them alone. They have been crying off and on ever since. They have a little bit of a fever from the three shots each in which they received yesterday. That, and the fact that they are either close to, or already teething. Man, we weren't looking forward to that. It's hard to tell if they are yet or not, but they are definitely crying a lot more, and with more volume than they ever have. At times tonight the crying is so bad. Nothing seems to soothe them.

I try to take over what little cooking is left (and by that, I mean nothing really), Ruby did most of it, while she bathes them. At that time, I start prepping their bottles. They are still crying. When the bottles are warm enough, I take it to them, but they still seem to cry. Okay, they are either starving, tired, or just plain not feeling well. It's been a whirlwind of a night, one that makes it very difficult. I hope that they aren't like this throughout the night. Ruby suggest a little Tylenol, just in case there still are effects of the shots and/or the teething.

All the while, Raymond has been in the tub playing and having fun. When he is like this, he really helps us out. Thank goodness for him being good tonight. He is a bit tired today from a fun day at "Little Grandma's", that's another plus. Still it is really difficult for us to keep Raymond's decibel level down. He is loud, but not really on purpose, this part doesn't really help, but what can one do? Soon he will tire out and crash, at least, I hope so...

I just sat back down from trying to help quiet the crying babies. Oh man, could be in for a long night and little sleep. I wish I knew how to keep them from crying and being uncomfortable, but I don't know how. Oh man, please hurry up and grow so that you can tell me what's wrong so I can try to fix it! Well, maybe not just yet...
