Get it When You Can

I'm referring to sleep, get your mind out of the gutter.

The most irritating thing we heard as expecting parents was "you better get some sleep while you can!" This bugs me for two reasons-one, I hate being given advice when I don't ask for it (can't help it, I am both a Capricorn and a KnowItAll, neither wants to be told what to do), and two: it's not like you can store up sleep to use later, you know? We knew we'd be sleep deprived, but no one wants to hear the negative when you're supposed to be excited about thte good times ahead.

So anyways, a few weeks ago the boys decided to give the all-night sleeping a go. For a few days, the world was a better place, and I a more pleasant person. But as they have with every milestone, the boys regressed a bit and decided to interrupt my night's sleep with periodic hollering for food/diaper changes/middle of the night babbling & leg kicking sessions. This has left us needing many more naps. (And by us, I mean me, Madam, and Elvis, since Keith has that unique ability to sleep/pretend-to-sleep when anyone is screaming at night) I did not realize how prevalent the napping was until I started looking at our more recent pictures...

Elvis Napping

The Couch, from Keith's perspective. That is Cole sitting on my belly while I rest my eyes, and Elvis is the one giving you the Kujo stare.

And finally, the boys...What? Why are they not napping in the picture? That's what I wanted to know...sleep already, babies!
