Vegas Baby!


The girls are now on the Vegas sleep schedule. You know the one where you party all night and sleep all day. Here's a picture of Evelyn crashed out after a long night of partying. See how she's still wearing her regular clothes even? Yep, this girl is out cold. Unfortunately, we, the parents, are not on the Vegas sleep schedule and would actually like to catch a few winks during the night. I'm not saying that we need a full eight hours or anything crazy like that--oh no, maybe 3 hours...in a row if it's not too much to ask?

Andre was actually worried about Rowan yesterday because she simply refused to wake up. He even got her little feet wet, and although she made a few angry faces, she never actually opened her eyes. She woke up a few times for a quick bite to eat, and then back to sleep. Come 9:30pm she was wide eyed and bushy tailed--ready for a night on the town with her partner in crime: Evey.

In other news, Rowan is remarkably strong for a little baby. She can lift her head up by herself and hold it for quite a while. She's been able to do this--I believe, since she was born. She's really strong and can turn her head from side to side. I've seen her almost roll over a few times too. She can make it about half way, but then falls back over again. She loves to lay on her tummy and look around.

Well maybe if they party like rockstars now they won't do it 18 years from now! One can only hope. :)

If it's any consolation I'm starting week 9 and haven't had more than 5 hours of sleep in a row since she was born. Usually it's 3-4 hours. I whined about it at first, but now I've just adjusted to the sleep dep :-P

I've got her on a 'schedule' now where she takes one feeding in the middle of the night, but that still means I get only 3-4 hours, then up 1 hour, then down again for 3-4 hours. Broken sleep sucks.

What strong girls! Hang in there with the sleep. Loving the pictures--they're wonderful.

Well, just be glad that neither of them are show girls. You'd have some trouble there. The pictures are cute. I especially like Rowan's "Oh no you di'int" expression. :D See you on Sunday!

Sleep comes back. Eventually, they'll even sleep over at a friend's house. It's great to see your beautiful babies. Welcome to motherhood.
