It's been a somewhat quiet week around here...well, in the sense that we haven't been doing a lot. Rachel & Natalie are both sick. It's just a cold but Natalie seems to be the lucky one and has it the worst. For the past 3 nights, I have had a total of 7 hours sleep. Last night was the worst so far - Natalie just wouldn't sleep. Finally at 4am, Ron came downstairs and said he would take care of her and he wanted me to go to bed. As much as I would have loved to have take him up on that offer, I just couldn't. He has to drive 45 minutes to work everyday on the 401/403 (busy highways here in Ontario) and on top of that, he works with chainsaws all day. The last thing we need is for him to get in an accident...either on his way to work or while at work. He held Natalie for a little while and she calmed right down - guess he has the magic touch and I've lost it? I finally got a brain wave and went out to the garage to get the infant car seat. I remembered when Rachel was really sick one time that she slept in that and it was a miracle chair. The same thing with Natalie. YAHOO - I slept from 4:30-6:45 when Rachel decided it was time to get up. Oh dear...how do women handle this on a regular basis? I never realized until now how lucky/spoiled I have been with babies who sleep through the night. Maybe it just makes this times tougher since I'm not used to it? I dunno. Thankfully this morning my parents came over for a few hours so I could get some rest and a much needed shower. I'm hoping that tonight will be a better night and Natalie will sleep.
At any rate, here are some pictures from this week...
I love Mommy/I love Mom pj's
What a sweetie
Standing on the ottoman - what a monkey! Glad Ron was there to help her get her balance.
Love those chubby legs
Poor Natalie - when we take her out of the Bumbo we have to shake it off her or get someone else to help remove it. Her legs get stuck :)
Love the way she's sleeping...and showing off her belly.

Wishing you a more restful night tonight ...
Nikki Dee is having some sleep issues too. Had her asleep twice for her morning nap yesterday morning but she woke up both times.
