Last week I wrote about the importance of keeping a schedule with the babies. The last couple of nights, however, have proven that we have to be flexible when it comes to these things.

Last night, for example, the babies ate at 6:30 p.m. We played with them for a while and they both fell asleep on my belly because we anticipated feeding them again around 8:30 or 9:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m. came and went and we decided to put them to bed. They didn’t wake up until after midnight. We fed them, put them to bed and they slept until 4:30 a.m. after which I took them from their crib and brought them into bed with us where they slept for another hour.

Could this mean we are close to being able to sleep through the night I’m not sure. Just when I think I have this parenting thing figured out, they throw a curveball that I didn’t see coming. All I know is that I got almost seven hours of sleep last night. Wow.
