no rest for the weary

The babies therapist and their Intervention Specialist just left. They said Ryan looks so much stronger. I told her how I was still worried about CP, and she said she is not seeing anything that would point to that right now. Woohoo! That makes me feel a little bit better.

It's exciting to see them progressing. I can't believe how far they've come. Now if they would just sleep through the night.

Last night was probably one of the hardest night so far. Greg and I both went to bed around 10:30, which is extremely early for us. Good thing we did because at 1 am 3 kids started screaming. We thought we would try the cry it out method....yeah right. So Dylan is up, but wants to go back to sleep. The only problem with that is he sees to other babies that are up, and he doesn't want to miss a thing.

Ava is up and growling at everything. Then laughing, then smacking he brother Ryan in the head while he's sucking down a bottle on our bed. He starts screaming which Dylan hears from his bedroom, so he starts all over again. Now this went on until about 3 am. Then around 3:30-4am, Ryan is back up and screaming again. Now if you have ever heard Ryan's cry let me tell you it's awful. I think he's so much louder because of his hearing loss.

Note to Ryan....We all hear ya...even the neighbors hear ya. No need to get any louder. The only thing that's gonna earn ya is a swift kick and a grouchy Mom (just kidding, I don't kick my kids)

Well about 5 am everyone is finally in their own bed and asleep. Greg and I go back to bed. Then 5:30 Greg's alarm is going off. I jump up fall off the bed, race over to the alarm all the while my foot is still stuck in the sheet. I worked my butt off to get those kids to bed, I'm sure not going to let that stupid alarm wake them up. Greg doesn't want to get up. He keeps saying "I'm going" That's funny cause he didn't even sit up. He says I'm stretching. BS! Get outta bed! Then he tells me he's tired and he's not going to be able to move too fast today. So I give'em the warning....With one swift kick I can make you move pretty darn fast....Get Up!!!

Finally a nice big bed all to myself, everyones asleep. Peace at last. Yeah right. Thanks Greg for slamming the door on your way out. They were all back up again. SO today I have kept these babies up. Short naps, yes they are kind of cranky, but I swear their gonna sleep tonight! I am running on pure Mt Dew as of this point. I need a nap!!!
