For most of this trip it has felt like the kids (and maybe the world) were conspiring to keep me from sleeping. Elizabeth was hardly sleeping at all in her pack n' play until the last night but whenever she would finally be asleep in the pack n' play or when Joe had her and so I was in bed, Nicholas would wake up and need me. Or Nicholas would have a coughing fit that would wake Elizabeth up. And the last morning in Maryland both kids were happily asleep in their own beds but I still couldn't sleep because we had to be up at 5:30 to go to the airport.
But last night everything and everyone worked together to allow me to get a good night's sleep. Nicholas slept 8:30-7:30! And Elizabeth spent 11:00-7:30 in the pack n' play with only a 45 minute break to eat! From 11:00-2:00 she was pretty fussy, waking up every 5-20 minutes and having to get herself back to sleep, which meant that I was waking up every 5-20 minutes. For the first hour or so I had to get her the pacifier each of those times, but after that I just woke up and listened and then we both fell back asleep. But I got close to 8 hours of sleep and it was only somewhat broken! Amazing!
We are in Louisville now and having a great time. I didn't bring the camera cord, so there will be no pictures for awhile. But rest assured, I am taking them. ;)
