Sleep is good

What a week this has been for sleep. The boys have started to really sleep good at night. They are still not close to sleeping through the night, but sleeping much better. Most nights they are going to bed between 8 and 9 at night. They they don't get up until some time between 2 and 4 in the morning for their one night feeding. Its so nice to only have to get up and feed them once in the middle of the night. In reality we are still not getting much sleep at night, but it sure feels like are getting tons of sleep.

The only problem is that they refuse to sleep in the morning. Even if they eat at 4 they still wake up early. Sometimes as early as 5:30, and if we are really lucky we might get them to sleep until 6:15. During the week this isn't too bad because I would normally get up at 6:30ish so its not too early for me. Its the weekends when it sucks. I try to be nice to Jamie and take care of the boys that early in the morning on the weekends, but sometimes, when they are both really cranky like this morning, Jamie ends up waking up to the crying and helping me feed them. Once they start sleeping through the night it won't be such a big deal to get up at 5:30, but right now its really tiring to have to wake up that early and have to jump right in to "calm the baby down" mode. Usually its Alex that wakes up, so like yesterday, I can rock him in the chair and give Kevin his nuk in the crib and they will both eventually fall back asleep until 7 or so. Hopefully not more than a couple of months and they will be sleeping through the night.
