Bedtime.

Both babies are asleep and it is a little after nine. I should be packing, cleaning, organizing.. But I am not doing any of those things. I am going to bed. There is always tomorrow.. Or 3 am when the babies decide it is time to play. I will start fresh in the morning with some super strong Shera coffee.

Incoming Mail..

Ryan Update.

Ryan has been running a fever on and off for about 4 or 5 days. It has hit a high of 102.3 and usually goes down quickly after a Tylenol then Motrin dose. But he had a horrible night of discomfort and fever. Then this morning, he was constipated with poo stuck in his hiney for more than 3 hours. (Sorry if too much information.) He was very sore, upset and cried non-stop for more than 2 hours. At his appointment, he was fever free but had red ears. They tested him for strep and then the doctor helped out with the poo situation. I am sure he felt instant relief. He was acting normal again shortly after. We left and both boys napped in the car for 1.5 hours, but Ryan was still acting very lethargic and warm. I picked Jason up and came home. His fever was up to 101.5 again. More Motrin and Hugs..

Hopefully he will purk up soon. I am home alone with all 3 boys until like 11 pm on Sunday night. Jacques is in Wisconsin on TDY.

We are homeowners.

Thanks for all your encouraging words today.

5 Sleepless Nights.

We had another rough night last night. I was up twice before 11, again at 12 and 1 and then from 2-4 with Zachary wide awake. We were out in the recliner till 3:50 when I was able to put him down. Ryan was the next up so I had Jacques get up with him. I think I did sleep from 430-630, that's the most consecutive sleep I have had since Thursday night. Another post later.

A more positive post.

Wow, it's been a few days since I haven't been complaining here on the blog about lack of sleep or snotty babies, so I thought a more up beat post would be fun. (Hooray, insert huge smile here.) Today I will pick Jason up and head to speech. I have my eye appointment at 215. So looking forward to the trial pair of contacts to get me out of these glasses. Hooray!

The house passed inspection and we are scheduled to close on Thursday. Hooray! I have some fun photos to post from Chuck E. Cheese later today. I have a super fun project lined up for tonight that involves needles and yarn. I will also post a 1st year in review about the babies.

Last night, I got out alone to Target and fnished up Jason's Christmas shopping while indulging in a venti mocha frap. I also have 2 gifts to send out too some special somebodies. I picked up House Season 4 over the weekend, so I was able to watch a few episodes yesterday.

And for fun.. My current Obsessions..

Last Nights Schedule.

I rocked Ryan twice to get him to sleep and in bed around 830. Zachary didn't go to sleep until 945. Then I was up with Ryan at 1015, 1055 and 1130. Then at 125 I was up with Zachary until 310. Then Ryan woke up, so I laid Zachary down and took Ryan from Jacques. I kept Ryan out in the living room the rest of the night. He woke up twice in the 4 o'clock hour, but then we were both out in the recliner until 650. That makes 4 nights in a row for me in the recliner.

Another up all night, night.

I think the record of somebody living without sleep is 10 or 11 days, after that it is pine box central. I think I am nearing that mark. I am exhausted and so is the hubby. Last night I was up with Zachary at 10, 11, 12 then up with Ryan from 130-250 who was now running a fever of 101.4. I gave him some Tylenol and it went down. Then I was back up with Zachary at 300. At that point, I had to wake up Jacques to take over and he was up till almost 5, then he had to get ready for work. I was up 2 more times with Ryan in the 5 o'clock hour. The second time, as I was walking down the hall to lay him in his crib, I hear Zachary start to cry. So then I rocked him, put him back down, crawl into bed, reset the alarm for 20 more minutes, lie the phone down, start to close my eyes.... Both babies wake up. Today will not be fun.
