Yawn

Hmmm........all the preggo / newborn books mention the golden time when "babies sleep through the night." Where's the chapter explaining how the parents do that? Hubby did not sleep well (couldn't get to sleep and, read along, was up around 5) I slept from 11 to 1, and then never got back into it. Saw every hour after that on the clock. (Did I mention how much I hate my clock now?) Now, along the lines of my last post, I shouldn't complain. But not sleeping at all makes the next day really fun.

Not sure why, both girls were up around 5:30 and not in the mood to put themselves back to sleep. Hubby and I interferred a bit and got them snoozing and back to bed we go. Of course, then there's a rumbling in the distance. I love storms. Love listening to them, and probably the rain especially would help me sleep. Slight problem though that the last two times it has stormed over the night, it wakes the girls up. Little while later, a major storm rolls through (enough noise to shake the house, the power went off/on which then means you have to reset the monitor, fun times)

By the end of it (6:30) the girls are wide awake so we fed them and spent the next hour and a half trying to nap off and on. They slept for the most part until 8:30 when Allie (and I) got up and after letting hubby sleep for a bit longer I kicked him out in search of coffee. Hmmm not off to a great start on budgeting. Hello Starbucks! (I'm not partial, it's just the closest)

Now as they slept from 10 until 5:30, of course the girls were nice and refreshed.




Allie (I'd say she's saying "no more pictures" but she's probaby rubbing her eyes in an attempt not to take a nap)





Better yet, their last evening bottle went without a hitch. I'm dead tired and thinking I'm about to get sleep. Oh...........wrong. Both girls not ready to sleep, yet overtired, decided to fuss and make a huge racket for a couple of hours. Finally get them to sleep - let's say I could use that not happening again for a long time.
