Thanks everyone for the advice and support. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I've been a little busy--to say the least.

Ok, so I tried getting the babies and the toddler to nap at the same time, but it didn't work out too well, because they'd wake each other up. I was so exhausted I almost passed out, even with the family helping and they were tired, too!

I finally just told Marty that we *had* to hire a nanny to help! But, you know what? I don't know how helpful she really was, because I'd put them down for a nap and she'd go in there and wake them up to play with them. It really made me mad. And then, while I was asleep, she let my toddler wet himself, so she changed his diapers, when I'm trying to potty train him. So, I had Marty cann her!

Anyway, somehow, we made it through babyhood, but I felt a little robbed of our bonding experience. Our relationship levels aren't as high as they were with my first two and one of the babies actually prefers my teen daughter to me!

I guess I'm just glad that they made it through, alive, and now I have three toddlers to potty train, teach to talk and walk. If I sound tired and crabby, it's because I am. Sorry. Whew! It's been a rough ride.

Marty and I want a large family and he's already ready to have another child, but I told him that he was just going to have to hold onto his horses for awhile! After these tots grow up to childhood, I'm taking a small break to recover! lol

Thanks again, though, I mean, I think your advice helped some, since the kids are all clean, happy and weren't taken by the social worker. lol
