Remember the days when you could go to sleep whenever you wanted and then wake up whenever, lay in bed, watch TV, take your time getting up just to eat something or grab a cup of coffee and head back to bed? No? Me either! It feels like those days never even existed and never will again. I will admit, my children are decent sleepers but lately.....UUUGGGHHHH!!!!
We put Payton in her crib about 2 weeks ago and the first week was great, she would go down around 9:30/9:45pm right after Jack, sleep til about 3am when I just had to go put her paci back in and then wake again around 5am for a bottle and go back to sleep til 7. Then week 2 came and hell broke loose. I have no idea what happened, maybe teeth, yeah, I'm thinking teeth but OHH MMM GEEE it was awful! She as waking up every hour starting at 12:30, sometimes every 40 minutes and it's not like she was happy, she was miserable. I was too, running up & down the hall way to get her before she woke up Jack, not sleeping myself and then having to be mommy, wife & worker all day was exhausting.
Luckily, the last 2 nights have been back to her old self. I know I probably just jinxed myself but I'm really hoping it continues. I am also hoping my children decide to start sleeping in in the mornings a little bit. I know that's a far fetched hope but one can dream can't they? :o)
How is your kid/kids sleeping? Hopefully not everyone is as sleep deprived as I am!

Crazy, Hectic, Tiring...but PERFECT!
That pretty much sums up life these days but you know what, I wouldn't change it for the world. There are days that I am exhausted, days where I wake up in the middle of the night to replace a paci and can't for the life of me figure out what day just ended and which one we are going in to. People who have more than 2 kiddos get a hats off from me because as much as I always say I would love to have another (eventually, not now, don't let your mind go crazy here) I have no idea how I would manage it.
Don't get me wrong, I have 2 extremely good babies (or a baby and a toddler) but being a mom, working part-time and trying to keep everyone happy all the time is exhausting. With that said we have had so much go on since the last time I posted so let's see if I can do a quick run down, ready...here it goes:
We had Payton's ears pierced (woo hoo, didn't have to wait til she was 6 months old after all), had Payton's Christening, went to birthday parties, christening parties, turned 5 months (and now almost 6 months), had 6 month & 3yr pictures taken as well as sibling pictures taken, started solid foods, started sleeping in her crib, Jack is now learning to 'step & throw' - a big thing in this house of athletes, he is also learning to bat righty so he can be a switch hitter. We are finally having some nice weather so there has been some park days (and nights), basketball out in the backyard and just over all fun.
I don't know about you but just writing all of that, and then reading it back, I am exhausted all over again! I am trying though, trying to learn how to enjoy things more and worry less. Trying to take the time to sit and play even though there is laundry sitting nearby in a basket that needs to be folded, hell, there is always the iron if it gets wrinkled. I realized recently how fast time goes by and I don't want to miss out on things anymore because my crazy self thinks I always need to be doing something productive instead of just sitting down and enjoying my babies.
Hopefully I will get better about blogging more often. There is definitely still more I should blog about and I will but as of right now I am exhausted and need to head to bed so that tomorrow I can do what I just said and enjoy my kiddos :o)
