We Did it!!

We finally moved Maccoy and Cayne to their bedroom last night!! I can brush my teeth in my own bathroom without fear of waking a sleeping baby!! This is how it went..... Put babies to bed at 9p.m. since Clint procrastinated (imagine that) in moving the beds until 8p.m. they freak out a little but within minutes are quiet and drifting to sleep!! Mom and Dad enjoy watching TV in their bed and also drift off to sleep around 11!! 12:15a.m. the Screaming Begins ....... sigh 1a.m. the screaming is still going and mommy cannot take it anymore so half asleep she stumbles upstairs to get screaming baby only to find screaming baby 1 has woke up 2nd baby, 2nd baby sitting in crib sucking thumb wondering where the heck am I?? So mommy picks both babies up and heads for her bed... Daddy shakes his head but grabs one baby and tries to snuggle him while mommy nurses other baby back to sleep (it works ) so mommy nurses baby #2 hoping he will go back to sleep also but baby #2 is confused/wondering where am I? wants no part of going back to sleep and begins to baby babble and try to crawl off the bed, mommy tired and frustrated picks babbling baby and sleeping baby up to return them to their beds upstairs.... sigh Lays them both down and to her surprise they roll over and go back to sleep!!! YES!! mommy returns to bed at 2a.m. and is about to doze off when Maxton decides to pay her a visit, mommy is soooooo tired that she lets him get in bed with her BIG MISTAKE..... sighhh he proceeds to toss turn kick talk etc for a long time before drifting off to sleep.. Oh what a night it was! This is going to take some figuring out? Never had to put 2 babies in one room before? The one is bound to wake the other up... sighhhh After our Cardiologist appt. on Wed when we get the all okay from Dr.Kaine to let Maccoy scream it out and make sure his weight gain is good (then he wouldn't need the middle of the night feeding) then we may have to do some TOUGH LOVE :( not looking forward to that but would really like to get some sleep soon!!!

Oh how I dream of that day! Maybe we'll get the all clear next week for Immanuel to cry it out. I'm glad things went fairly well for you last night. It's funny because this rarely happens but at 4:30 a.m. all three of my boys were in bed with me & wide awake - what is going on?! Keep up the good work, mama!
