For All the Moms Out There :)

All of you moms will appreciate the kind of night I had last night. I fed Landon at 10:00pm and got hooked on a movie during his feeding. Instead of turning it off after he was done I continued to watch it until it was over at 11:30pm - bad mistake. At 4:00am I was awoken to Landon coughing and crying. He was all stuffed up so I got out the bulb syringe and suctioned his nose which made him go ballistic and all the crying woke Hudson up. So now I have both boys hysterical and I am somewhat sleep deprived. I go to Hudson and tell him that baby brother is just mad at Mommy and for him to go back to sleep. I go back to Landon's room, shut the door and get back to work on his snot filled nose. Hudson wakes back up and this time he is wet. At this point I felt like it was time to call in the reserves - Daddy! I wake Ben up (who is still sick) and he takes Landon so I clean Hudson up. Hudson goes back to sleep, but Landon feels the need to stay up until 5:30am. He finally goes back to sleep and I head for the couch. Just as I get in a deep sleep Landon wakes back up for his breakfast. :) I feed him, he has some wake time, and then he goes back down. At this point, I head back to my warm, comfy bed and Ben gets up so that I can sleep - Thanks Babe!! All of this took place before 9:00am. :) I know that all of you mom's can relate to nights/days like this and one day we will look back and laugh!

Hey Ruth Lee! I am the WORST at getting hooked on something and staying up late when I should be in bed! So sorry about your rough night, but then without fail that little baby smiles at you and makes it all worth while!

Oh man, I have BEEN THERE. Seriously, I have also done that where I get hooked on a movie and stay up. Of course that's the night that all that would happen!
I hope you get some sleep tonight!
