Two babies...one mommy

Well, my husband had a wake to go to tonight so I had to put Ava to bed by myself which means that Eliza has to come with me to read stories and get Ava to fall asleep. I thought I had it all worked out.....I fed Eliza and she will go right to sleep which will make reading stories a breeze.
Except Ava decides she wants to read the Cinderella pop-up book for a bedtime story which is written for a 30 year old instead of a 3 year old and is VERY long. In the meantime, Eliza is not crying but constantly moving and spitting out the binky....which is requiring two hands for me to take care of. Ava wants to cuddle with me, as I do her but then she is getting mad every time I have to move my arm to put the darn binky back in Eliza's mouth in efforts for her to fall asleep.
Well, I finally finished this excruciatingly long book and lay with Ava to fall asleep. She has this bad habit that she wants to hold my hand when she falls asleep but again...Eliza is just not settling down....squirming in my arms....that's how she was in my belly too! ( I call her my StrollerFit baby bc she loves moving all the time....the only time she is happy really) Sorry...digressing....anyway, I couldn't hold Ava's hand which, to be honest, was disappointing to the both of us. It just breaks my heart sometimes when I have to pick one over the other especially when that's our cuddly down time. I know that's not going to last long so I am trying to enjoy it while I can. I know it's not all the time so it's just going to have to be ok. The trials of having two children. I am thankful that I have them both to complain about.

Had to go to a doc appointment today and everything turned out good...thankfully. Traci covered my StrollerFit classes and said they went great! She loved the new facility I am in.
She hadn't seen it before. I am going to go to her StrollerFit class on Saturday since I haven't seen her class in a while.
