Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

We've been trying to get the twins adjusted to a 4-hour schedule at night.  The first 2 nights went really well and the twins got a couple of good solid hours of sleep in there (and hopefully my sister, as well).  But last night wasn't so well, and it's gone into today.  Sadie woke up at about midnight last night and hasn't slept well all day, either.  She sleeps for a few minutes, then wakes up with sharp cries and is hard to get back to sleep. Wyatt's done better than Sadie, but he's still not sleeping solidly.

This is how it goes with newborns, though.  You have good days and bad days.  Unfortunately, since the twins were a bit premature I think their newborn days are going to last a little longer than most babies.  Eli has also been having an off day, waking up early out of his naps and wanting to eat sooner than he should.  Maybe he's going through a growth spurt.  He's definitely getting big.

 




A few minutes of sleeping together.
