So imagine what last night's sleep was? W.O.N.D.E.R.F.U.L
Christopher slept without eating from 7:15 pm until 4:15 am. Bridget decided to sleep in 2 1/2 to3 hour increments. I only got up 4 times last night because of the babies. AMAZING!!!
Of course, there is always something to complain about. Otherwise, why would we be here?
The most exciting part was the two (2!) automated phone calls from Charlotte Emergency services at 1:30 am telling us that if we needed to flee flooding water, not to do so in a vehicle, but to call the fire department. OOOOOkay. Although our back yard is way flooded and you could probably get around in a kayak, we were not in danger of flooding. ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
And the irony, the IRONY, that it was the best night of sleep we've had in months and we're running around the room with our hearts pounding, adrenaline flowing worried about which set of parents had bad news.
The second part was the incredibly painful breast waiting for Christopher to finally wake up and eat. OH MY GOODNESS it hurt and there was no way in H E Double Hockey Sticks I was going to get up and keep him from sleeping as long as he could. Nonetheless, that's another big clue that the babies are still eating at night.
And, of course, when Christopher did come in to see us at 4:30 he was so excited to see us that he decided to practice his consonants and vowels (ba goo ba ba ba da paaaa), touch our faces and generally roll around the bed and have a party.
Then we gave him another dose of motrin and we all went back to sleep.
And based on my history, tonight is going to suck loudly because last night didn't and I told you about it!
At least, I think we'll be free of the emergency services calls. I hope.

LOL. How I remember those days (without the flooding). Hang in there. No one ever warned me that the sacrifices of being a parent included losing night after night of sleep, but eventually you look back on these days with fond memories.
