Who's Who??
The girls & I met Daddy at Firehouse Subs tonight for a dinner date & then we met up with the NWYM group at Spoons Frozen Yogurt. I came home, got the girls in the house & had to do a double take. Identical, indeed. By looks alone, it's becoming more & more difficult to tell them apart. So FUN!! So, can you guess who's who??
Experimentation Time
Don't get me wrong, having family in town has been absolutely wonderful, but it has been difficult to get the girls on a regular type of sleeping schedule. They have slept in their swing, bouncer, pack 'n play, my arms...anywhere but the crib in their room. They have also had a pacifier (plug) from day one and Mommy is noticing a reliance on it in order to sooth themselves to sleep. But guess who has to sit there & make sure it doesn't pop out of their mouths until they start to nod off...MOMMY!
So tonight, Mommy decided to change some things. I fed my girls, burped them, swaddled them, sang to them, prayed over them, turned the mobile on and laid them down, plugless. Kelsie hemmed & hawed for a bit, but quickly drifted off. My Karis is still squawkin', but will eventually give up the fight. It's hard listening to them cry, but I want them to learn how to self-sooth and get used to a pattern so that it will be easier for all 4 of us.
Shhh...I wonder how long they'll sleep. I wonder if I can keep this routine going. I wonder when Mommy & Daddy get to sleep for more than 3 hrs. :) Pray for their peace & my endurance.
