Flip Flop

I am starting to wonder if I will ever get a full nights rest again.

This week has been a fairly successful week as Harper has slept through the night the last 2 nights. This morning she woke up at 9:15 am, she slept a whole 11 hours!!! Now when she woke up she was completely soaked from head to toe in urine and needed a bath STAT. But hey we are on the right path to sleeping through the night. I did wake up about every hour to check on her too, I about had a heart attack yesterday when I woke up at 6:30 am and realized she hadn't been awake yet.

I would like to say I got to sleep a whole 11 hours last night too but that just isn't true. I got home from work at 11:30 last night and wasn't able to fall asleep right away, and just about the time my eyes were closed Teagan was screaming at the top of her lungs. My perfect sleeper has been waking up in the middle of the night 2 of the last 3 nights. I think maybe she is starting to have nightmares and then she wakes up and can't find her blankie and can't get back to sleep. I spent a good 2-3 hours trying to get her back to sleep, we even watched a movie and read books because she just would not settle down, and my back and shoulders are starting to hurt from trying to lay next to her bed.

So this is life, when you finally get one sleeping through the night, the other one starts to wake up. Oh the joys of having 2 kids!!

Prime example: Teagan is happily awake when she should be taking a nap while I'm writing this blog.

Harper is peacefully asleep next to the computer desk.
