I Swear They Plan It...

Wes: I'll be up around 1:00 a.m. to nurse and have a really wet diaper that leaks so my jammies need to be changed. I'll cry a lot.

Iz: Great! That means I will get up at 2:00 a.m. and say that I have to go potty. Meanwhile I will make a really big deal about wanting to sleep in mommy's bed and cry a lot.

Wes: Okay, I will get up at 4:00 to eat. Then around 5:00 I will get restless and cry a lot because I have gas pain and need to burp.

Iz: Okay I will get up at 5:30 and insist on a cup of milk and watching a show. I'll be up for good by then. If necessary, I will cry a lot.

Aw, the joy of having a newborn and a toddler! The kids may be twenty before we get any sleep! I enjoyed your post. I will think about you when I am up all night!

Holly said...

The joys!!! I can relate!! I can't believe how old Iz is!!! And I didn't know you had a little guy too!!! How are you guys doing? I linked to your blog from Amy's. I hope you (and your hair hehe) are doing well!!

At least your kids are communicating with each other nicely. :-)

Hang in there Abs...it gets better!

Amen sister. Wish you lived closer, we could wave to each other through the window at 2, 3, 4 and 5 am :)

Thanks for the positive outlook....

Oh Abs you have me crying alot too and Wes & Iz never even told me a thing...I swear. I know it's hard but this too shall pass. Crazy huh & it's probably the last thing you want to hear. The 1st thing is silence so you can catch some zzzz's I know. I hope you can take advantage of someone to take Izzy on a field trip or something during the day so you can nap w/Wes. Oh how I wish I (me & the boys) were there to entertain Izzy while you slept. A few hours sure makes a difference!

You poor thing! I'll be right with you in a few months. I guess I'd better enjoy the sleep I get while it lasts!
