Some of you are wondering what it is like to feed triplets. It's a pretty busy job. Nights are the hardest obviously and so far I've had lots of help. This was my night last night (and this is with help at each feeding):
Babies ate from :
10 pm - 11 pm
I slept from 1130 til about 1am (1.5 hrs)
then from 1:10 - 2:00 am but Liam was awake until 2:40.
I slept from 2:40 - 3:30 (50 minutes) - that's when Evan and Liam fussed and woke me up. Luckily they settled back down and I slept from 3:40 - 4:45 (1 hr and 5 min).
All the boys ate again from 4:45 - 615 or so. I slept from 615 until 650 (35 min). 6:50 is when Caden woke up. The babies are still sleeping but Caden has me up.
So - after tallying up those times - I slept 4 hours broken up into 4 separate increments. Ouch. And that pretty much describes each night this week. Except one night the beginning of the week you have to throw in an episode of Caden waking up crying at 1230 at night.
So ya - SLEEPY! Luckily Judy is here and I can nap during the day but I dream of sleeping for more that 2 hours at a stretch. So if you are getting that - don't say you have nothing to be grateful for.
That all sounds like complaining and I suppose it is but it is so worth it. And of course, someday, I am going to miss this :)
