Hints of Normalcy

It's weird, because before having Mia, I never understood how much being a parent changes your life. And it did...and it took some time, but we flowed into a new sense of normal. Well, this time I knew having another baby would rock our world. And, again, it did. But now I am seeing glimpses (however brief) of our new normal. It makes me happy. :)

By the way, kicking Cole out of our room was a brilliant move. Since then, he has slept from about 11 pm until 2ish. Then, after eating, he will sleep again until about 5:30. After another feeding, he will usually go one more hour. This is definite improvement! It may also be that on his first night out of our room, we went back to completely swaddling him. We thought he preferred having his arms out, but they flailed about and kept him awake. Anyhow, I can function with six hours of chopped-up sleep!

That's about all from our house!

This will sound horrible- we need to kick Ethan out of our room. He wakes up several times a night in his room but not in ours. Ugh! Good for you!
