Kick Me When I'm Down

At 33 Weeks pregnant I'm not feeling like my usual rested, spry self (oh wait, do I ever really feel like that??) even on a good day. And Walter was out of town all week too :(

Here's how the other day went.....

I went to bed at 11:30pm (too late, but I was craving some alone time)
Wes wakes up at midnight, before I even fall asleep.
Wes doesn't go back to bed until 3am.
I crawl in bed exhausted and fall asleep for the first time that night.
X starts chirping around 6am. I leave him in his room until 7, but can't fall back asleep.
Grand total sleep for me - 3 HOURS
X has wet the bed and himself (seriously Pull Ups -- do your job why don't ya!!!!)
Wash and change X's sheets.
Wes up before 8am in essence not making up for any of his lost 3 hours of sleep (and not very happy).

Fast forward to nap time.....
Wes and X fall asleep fairly quickly
I clean up lunch and take care of a few household tasks.
I lay down on the couch for a nap.
Twenty Five minutes later Wes is awake and crying. He refuses to go back to sleep despite my attempts.
And then he pees out his diaper all over my shirt.
Grand total of sleep for me - 20 Minutes

Fast forward to bedtime......
My mom put the boys to bed because I was having dinner with a friend (Walter out of town)
I get in bed by 9:45pm.
At 10:45pm the baby monitor loses it signal and stars beeping, thus waking me up.
At 1:50am Wes wakes up crying. Rock him and pray that we don't have a repeat of the 3 hour episode the night before.
While I'm rocking Wes I hear a big THUD.  My heart jumps. What was that???!!!!
X has fallen out of his bed. (Seriously, that never happens -- ahhh!!!!!)
Put Wes back in crib (he starts crying).
Check on X. He's fine but awake and asking "What happen to Wes, why is he crying?"
Get X settled back in bed.

Wes cried for 5 minutes then went silent. X was stirring around in his bed. I decide to write a blog post at 2:30am because I'm now wide awake and waiting to make sure the kids both fall back asleep. Halfway into typing my laptop battery dies and without warning the computer shuts off. Par for the course I guess.

These are the days of my life.........
