My seventeen year old niece and sister each took a baby for two nights and I slept out in their trailer so I couldn’t even hear any fussing. Two nights uninterrupted sleep – bliss! It’s funny how you are almost tireder when you catch up on sleep – it’s like your body gets used to the interruptions. I have become a bit of an insomniac since getting up through the night with the babies but I did get a couple good sleeps in.
It was great having more hands around to help with babies and the three little girls (ten, seven, and four) played and played and played with the babies, keeping them entertained. So in a way it would be easier with twins if you had more kids!
Teagan, my ten year old niece, managed to keep them entertained on the long trip home. But after I dropped her off and did the last hour on my own – screaming, sobbing babies. And bumper to bumper traffic to boot. Very difficult as there is nothing you can really do…I tried talking, singing etc. I finally had to pull off the freeway and give them a baby mum mum to chew on. That worked for awhile but then I was worried they would choke on their cookies! We eventually made it home. Just trying to get them back on some semblence of a schedule.
Sleep is the theme that keeps comin
