My DH is hiking in Colorado. I'm home alone with the boys. It was kind of nice to have them to myself yesterday and to nap when they napped instead of worrying about what we were all going to do as a family.
Well, I maybe should have looked closer at the calendar before I told DH he could take this trip. Because the boys had their 4-month shots today. And Jack is teething. That's right! My oldest son has erupted the tip of an iceberg that is apparently causing him great pain. Last night, he was up about once an hour, but would quickly fall back asleep with some rocking. Tonight, he was in so much pain! Even the baby Tylenol wasn't really helping soothe him. My poor little dude!
Tonight was the first night where I felt bad for my twins for being twins. Because I was so caught up in Jack's care, I didn't hardly have anything left for Will. And I felt weird making Will giggle over Jack's shoulder while I was trying to speak to Jack in soothing tones. Like I was this big fraud expressing my concern for Jack when I could summon a silly face for Will. It made me so sad for them both!
I'm still pretty tired from the lack of a thyroid. I'm looking forward to getting my blood test this coming Saturday and hopefully getting my dose increased. Today, I was so tired, it was like I was in a fog. I kept asking the people around me if I was making sense! If I'm dizzy again tomorrow, I'm going to move my appointment up. I'm ready for more energy.
And on that note, I'm off to bed. At 9:19pm. DH will be home this time tomorrow night. Yay!

Poor Jack and poor you! Taking care of twins alone with teething and shots involved would be tough for someone with boundless energy.
Hopefully they get your thyroid numbers and meds straightened out soon. I am getting to a place now where I am so tired all the time, I don't really remember what it was like to have any energy. Surely there was a time where I felt good?!?!
I hope you are feeling like 'you' again soon.
You are a friggin RockStar!
Seriously. xoxoxo
Teething is such a rough time, both for babies and mom. I found that Hyland's Teething Tablets work pretty well.
