The girls went to bed on time, and slept well, and got up at their normal time. They were happy-go-lucky this morning and glad to have everyone home.
Derek seemed to sleep fairly well, didn't sleep thru his alarm, and was gone for work as normal.
Now on to Tyler and Mommy, whom he drug down with him.....
Tyler went in his big boy crib after his 9pm feeding. I just acted like it was old hat. I snuggled him all in and went across the hall to bed. Like a fool I watched tv for over an hour. I then fell fast asleep a little over an hour, then the party began. He ate, pooped and pretended to fall asleep, just until my sore abdomen was back in bed, then the every twenty minutes of fussing began. At 2am, I flew the white flag. We both retreated to the living room to catch up on re-runs. We dozed for a while on the couch, and had another feeding, and of course more poop. I think he finally settled for a while at 4am just before Daddys alarm and the coffee maker went off. Tyler preceded to get mad when his unforbidden pacifer kept falling out of his mouth, so I slept next to him with one finger staying on his paci. I was actually glad to see 7am arrive so I could quit pretending to sleep and just start the day.
If Tyler could talk,, I am sure he would say "WELCOME HOME MOMMY!!!"
He is beautiful! I love how you put into words what the rest of us would be thinking if we were you...you write and its like I hear you talking. Glad all is going well...or at least as expected...you have this handled already...most moms like me would still be wondering what to do next. If you ever need anything please call... funny how you put him in his crib...Liam started there at 3 months and I remember you thinking I was crazy for waiting so long...but he does just fine now... I shoulda listened. I lost sleep over the decision to put him in his crib when I should have been celebrating.... He's georgous! Great job!
