Sleep, Sleep, Sleep

The babies have been sleeping less and less during the day and are getting harder to wake up at night when it's time to eat. So we thought we would give sleeping a little longer through the night a try. We had been feeding the babies at 6:00pm, 9:00pm, and midnight and then letting them sleep until they work up. Normally they woke up between 6:30am and 7:00am. Last week when I was home by my self (now three nights a week), I fed them around 7:00pm and then waited until Brent got home around midnight to feed them again. This seemed to work well too and they would sleep until 6:30am or 7:00am. On Thursday night we feed them at 6:00pm and then at 10:00pm, then they slept until almost 7:00am. We thought that we nice:) Last night we tried the same thing again, but they work up at 4:00am wanting to eat... so I think we are going to stick to the midnight feeding for another week or so and then they it again - I do not want to make waking up at 4:00am a habit!

They have been doing good with naps during the day. When they wake up between 6:30am and 7:00am, eat and then hang out in our bed for a while. Normally Brent falls asleep and I pay with the babies for a little bit, then go to sleep to. They typically fall back asleep in our bed around 8:00am and sleep until 9:00am or 9:30am. We feed them again and then play and get ready for the day. Around 10:30am or so, the babies go back to sleep and and have been sleeping until 12:30pm or 1:00pm. I just let them sleep until they are ready to wake up - and normally as soon as one of them is awake, the other one is too (it's like they are twins or something). We eat again and then play until we get cranky and go back down for another nap. Then they will normally eat again around 3:30pm, play for a while, and then take another nap. If they are not awake by, 7:00pm, I wake them up and feed them, otherwise I feed them when they wake up. We play until Kyle and Emily start to get whiny, and then go back down for another nap. Around midnight, we get the babies out of bed and feed them. Sometimes they wake up and eat, and other times they eat while sleeping. We read the bible and pray with the babies and then put them back to bed for the night... and then it starts all over again in the morning.
