So, last week when I said Olivia had been sleeping so well, merely putting those words in print must have jinxed the Williams household! Sunday Olivia decided that she was no longer going to play by those rules. She woke up every 2 hours Sunday night and Monday night, then it takes her 45 minutes to an hour to fall back to sleep. So really you are only getting about an hour of sleep each time. Tuesday, while my mom watched the girls, I took a little nap. I felt so much better. Then to top it off Olivia only woke up once on Tuesday night. I felt like a million bucks on Wednesday. This was very short lived because on Wednesday night, I literally got no sleep. Olivia just cried and cried. The next morning...I just cried and cried. We determined that Olivia's belly must be hurting so we scaled back the amount that we are feeding her and just feed her more frequently during the day. Earlier sleep patterns restored...mommy happy :-)
Lillian wakes up every morning and the first words that come out of her mouth are "Go to the beach??" in a whisper. We are going to take a trip to Destin with Michael's family over Labor Day weekend and she is so excited, although I don't really think she knows what the beach is. But it is pretty cute! The next thing she says is "Where is Olivia? She's great!!" She is really interested in her and tries to help us with her by helping burp her and by getting her paci.
Other then the sleepless nights, we are having a lot of fun. Having 2 kids is definitely different but it seems to be getting easier every day.
