Our last 12 hours....

5:00 PM... the time Baby Emily started crying, no screaming, inconsolably 
8:00 PM... the time Baby Emily calmed and went to bed
8:30 PM... the time Ana and Taylor went to bed
9:30 PM ... the time Daddy and Mommy CRASHED
12:30 AM... the time Baby Emily woke up (note the 3 hour sleep window for yours truly and loving spouse who has been tag teaming all night)
5:15 AM ... THE TIME BABY EMILY FINALLY FELL ASLEEP, in the car driving with mommy to the nearest 5:00 AM McDonald's for a desperation coffee in hopes that it will bring inner strength to get through the day.


(Note: Last night followed an approximation of the exact same schedule, less the desperation drive... looks like Baby E is finally falling into some sort of schedule... should I cry or laugh- I think in my manic state I may just do both.)

A shout goes out to Ana and Taylor, who through this all, remain happy and helpful big sisters!!!!!!  They never cease to amaze me.
