I got the most sleep I've had in 4 months. I slept from 11:30-6:00. The weird thing is that today I'm more tired than ever. It's like all I did was remind my body of what it was missing or something. Weird. Anyway it was still wonderful. My ILs have been the source of so much stress over the past year that I thought I might never forgive them. But we told them we are having a really rough time lately (up every hour) so yesterday they brought several prepared meals and a ton of other food and MIL stayed the night. All is forgotten. I could kiss them. I just hope it wasn't too rough on MIL and she comes back and does it again!
On a related note why in the world do my babies suddenly hate their cribs??? We always put them down drowsy but awake, but they won't let us do that anymore and if they are not in a deep, deep sleep they will realize we are putting them down and start crying and once we do get them down they only stay asleep for an hour or so before the pop back up. The weirdest part is that it's not all three of them all the time. They take turns doing this.
Re: Thanks to my MIL...
Aww...glad you got some much needed rest!!
It's amazing how our kids can miraculously allow us to tolerate if not appreciate our IL's, isn't it?! A friend of mine, who used to only rant about her MIL, now only has good things to say since her MIL loves being a grandma and is willing to help out in any way possible.
So happy to hear your ILs came to help out and hope you get more sleep like that again soon!!
Our DD does the same thing during nap time...drives me crazy bc then she's so crabby bc she's so tired. She's on a kick of 20 minute cat naps. At least she's still sleeping fine at night so I guess I can't complain too much.
My MIL came over last night too and I took an Ambien and crashed!
