Today I want sympathy...

Well, as much as I appreciated all of you sympathy on Monday, I really was trying to do a funny post!! I mean, didn't you all think it was funny about the whole toilet paper thing?? Yea, sure it can be tough, but I was going for giggles. :)

Today though, oh today, TODAY I want sympathy. Why you ask?? WHY??? Because TODAY Olivia decided to wake up at 2:15 AM. And remain awake. The entire, ENTIRE, rest of the night. Again you may find yourself asking, WHY? And that my friends, is a very, VERY good question. One to which, I have no, NO answer. She appears to be feeling fine, no sign of those eye teeth...she was happy, just content to lay in bed with one of us (until we thought she was sleeping and would get up, then she would pop up too). I even tried feeding that little tummy; which she was more than happy to oblige to. I didn't put on the video she kept asking for.

We remained in bed (except for the 3:30 snack) until 5. Then we were up for the day. Breakfast (and finally) the video (x2 so I could get in a catnap) ensued. She was happy as a clam all morning! Into things a bit more, but more than happy to stop when asked (although, I'm sure my mean mommy voice was a bit meaner this morning). At 7:30, I couldn't be in the house anymore without going a little crazy so we headed to town...at which point she fell asleep...within 3 minutes of leaving the house. :) Of course. She took a little 20 min. nap on our way to town and through the bank. Went to Target and she was her usual perky little self saying "hello" (in that little "LOOK AT ME, AREN'T I CUTE!!!!!" voice) and then went to ECFE, but not before driving through Caribou...for Mommy of course. She was a perfect PEACH at class and went down for her nap afterwards with record-breaking speed. I took a nap too, but of course, those wonderful symptoms of being REALLLY pregnant don't take a break no matter how tired you are, so my nap was cut short.

In spite of it all, I feel pretty good. I'm glad she's napping. But you all can still feel bad for me today if you want; I'll take the pity. :) Pray for us that tonight is back to NORMAL!!

Oh man, that's early. You definitely have my sympathy...coming from a mom who has a regular early waker. Praying for a normal, long night of sleep for all of you tonight!!

Sympathy granted. :)

Sometimes I forget that Olivia is just a few months older than Sofie. We have a lot of nights where sleep is questionable, too. BUT, I know it is 5,000 times worse when you're also pregnant. Here is to happy sleeping tonight (can you just take a Tylenol PM and sleep through whatever Olivia decides to do tonight?!).
