Don't get me wrong: the days haven't been that bad. We've had good children, even quite happy children at times. But the nights have really been getting me! Reilly caught a tiny little cold (really quite small, only one nebulizer treatment has been called for so far, he's been sleeping find after the first day, and he hasn't been grumpy or miserable) and then Jaina caught it, and she also resumed teething (after, what, a 3-day break?), all at the same time. The last 3-4 nights have not been good sleep ones. Poor thing just can't sleep/isn't comfortable/needs her pacifer/can't breathe with it in/wants to sleep on her tummy/can't breathe when she rolls over. Jeremy's been spelling me some, which has saved me, but he just finished a super-rough 7-8 days of tests too. But I have hope for tonight! Jaina has felt much better today, and took a good afternoon nap, and both kids went to sleep without a peep, in their room (last night Reilly kept waking her up, giggling and laughing and banging things around till like 9 and we finally just had to move her to our room). A tender mercy. Will she/they sleep tonight? There's no telling, but I am optimistic for some sleep, and as Jeremy assures me, if they don't, it will still be okay. :)
Edited to add: Jaina only woke up once, at about 11 - she slept until 6. I am still tired, but it was so great to get a night of real sleep!

Sara - I LOVE the new family picture!! You guys are ADORABLE! It's always a good thing they're so cute, huh! Makes the no sleep thing (and all else) :) a lot more do-able!!
Glad she slept well for you! Sometimes it takes a few nights to catch up on your sleep :)
Oh Sara.
I hope you get some sleep. I'm hoping that they nap at the same time, so you can too.
Losing sleep is evil.
Sadly(big sight)... I know the feeling! Ashton isn't much of a sleeper but will be getting tubes in his ears real soon. So hopefully that helps. Your kids are growing so fast!
Oh man, I can't wait to be a mom! It just all sounds so fun!
Oh Sara, I'm sorry. Sleep deprivation = irratable(did I spell that right?=)) Looks like a fun trip to the zoo!
