MY SLEEP

10:45 pm- I go to bed

11:15 pm- Ellie sleep walks downstairs...I try to let her snuggle us but she is so restless and squirmy she wakes up Hadley so I carry her back upstairs

11:40 pm- I feed Hadley and get her back to sleep- back to bed for me.

12:30 am- Ellie sleep walks back in the room...I try once again to snuggle her but she is VERY restless and keeps kicking and turning so I bring her back to her room

1:45 am- Hadley wakes up, I put the paci in her mouth and she goes back to sleep.

3:00 am- Hadley wakes up again and the paci won't do so I feed her.

4:15 am- Hadley is up and thinks it is time to get up for the day...I finally get her back down around 5:30 am.

6:15 am- Gavin comes down and is ready for breakfast.

6:45 am- Ellie comes down and is ready for breakfast.

7:00 am- Hadley is up and ready to eat.

Now this was my night last night and it is a typical night lately. With Ellie coming down (and sometimes Gavin too) and Hadley all of the sudden waking up a lot again- I am zonked most days. Why do I still go to bed at 10:45 or 11pm every night?? Because after the kids are all asleep- Usually around 9pm (after fighting them to get back in bed over and over again)- that is usually my ONLY time to myself all day and I don't want to go to bed...I want to get things done or relax. Ohhhhh the joys of motherhood. I am looking forward to a little sleep- hopefully it is just around the corner. At least a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. I can't remember the last time I slept for more than 3-4 hours at a time. So when you see me and I have bags under my eyes...or look a little out of it...you will understand why.
