So…
Thursday night, all the kids slept all night. Tristan slept from 7p-7a, which was a definite first for him, and even though I’d gotten to bed late (12:30) I was so surprised to wake for the first time and see daylight that I wasn’t even tired. I was so excited and kept thinking, “maybe this is it!”
Ha. Ha, ha, ha.
This morning I dragged myself out of bed, feeling less-than-well-rested, at 8:00. Between Dan and I were both Will and Hallie, and Hallie had been there since about 6, alternately wiggling, kicking, and complaining, “Stop touching me, Will-Will!” (Will, who was sound asleep, kept inadvertently putting his arm on her.) The great night had started at 12:30, when Will (who never does this) awoke screaming that he had wet the bed. So after I fixed that entire situation, it was back to bed only to have him come in our room an hour later wanting to sleep with us. Tristan was up twice (wanting to nurse, of course) and when Hallie came strolling in around 6, I was just too fed up to fight it.
So we all ended up in our bed together, which would have been okay if I had actually been able to sleep instead of being Hallie’s personal assistant. Besides frequent drinks of water, she need space (no one could touch her, or squish her pillow) and every 10 min. or so she would hiss in a loud whisper, “Mommy, I wanna get up now!” Needless to say, Friday night was not the great follow-up to Thursday night that I had hoped/ planned it would be.
*Sigh*. Sometimes life is like that.

yea i know what u mean. it can get a little too cozy in our bed too.
i wonder when i will get a full night of sleep. at this point i am letting go of that concept.
I do hate it for you but at the same time I’m glad I’m not the only mom out there that has this problem. My son is two and still gets up a few times a night and in just a few weeks our new one will be here helping his big brother keep mommy awake!!
Maybe next time you and Dan should just get in their beds!
