Shhhhh

Shhhhhh.....everyone is sleeping....well, except for me! It was a long night with Drew last night and an early morning, so I am tired. My eyes even burn a little bit. At 5 in the morning, when I was up with Drew for the third time, I was hoping that Andy would let me catch up on some missed sleep and that he would get up with the kids. But then the phone rang at 6AM. Andy got called into work for a couple of hours. After he left the house, I got some on and off sleep with popping the nuk back in Drew's mouth every ten minutes. After about an hour of that I decided it was just time to get up. Andy came home at 11:30, and we were both looking forward to nap time. We put both kids down and crawled into bed. Here is how the next hour of my nap went:

Five minutes later - Drew needs his nuk popped back in.

Five minutes later - the nuk is needed again.

Two minutes later - Rock the baby to sleep.

Ten minutes later - Bella is still gabbing away so I peek in on her to tell her to go to sleep. She is standing between the curtain and window, so all I can see are her little legs sticking out. She responds with "I'm busy! I'm playing computer" (with the blinds)

Ten minutes later - Bella is crying for help. Her leg is stuck between the bed and her bed railing.

Ten minutes later - Drew crying and I change him.

Two minutes later - Drew crying.

One minute later - Drew crying and I feed him and I rock him to sleep again.

Five minutes - Drew crying....AHHHHH!!! All this mama wants to do is catch up on a little sleep!

Finally I decided closing and opening my eyes over and over is just making things worse for me. My attempt at a nap is over. As of right now the house is quiet and Andy, Bella, and Drew are all sleeping. I'm glad, because they all need it. Andy worked late hours last night and early this morning. Bella and Drew both have coughs and don't feel great. They need it more than me. As tempted as I am to lay down, I am not going to because I know as soon as I am about to fall asleep someone will wake up!!

Here is my sleeping baby....Finally!
