Sleep....or lack there of

One of the things that I knew that I would be signing up for when having a baby is a lack of sleep. It doesn't mean I would like it but it's part of the package deal. Ever since I was little, I loved my sleep, loved it! My mom was concerned how I would handle the school days when there wasn't a nap time. My brother Joey apparently was the same. This continued into high school with me getting up at the last possible second to get out the door in time and then in college where I would do extra credit not to boost my grade but to counter act all of the classes I missed due to naps. Needless to say....I love my sleep. So, I have been getting beyond spoiled with Mikaila lately with her not only sleeping pretty much through the night but when she does wake, give her a bottle and she would sleep for another hour or so. However, nothing could have prepared me for last night.

Let me premise this with that Zeb and I had a deal, since today is his day off. He would get up for feedings and I would get up with her in the morning. Pretty sweet deal. So Mikaila goes to bed without a fuss, then Zeb and I. Around 10:30, Mikaila starts to fuss so I tell Zeb just to put her paci back in her mouth, problem solved. Sometime after that, she gets up again and Zeb feeds her. After that our cat Seamus starts to mess with our closed bedroom door making a lot of noise. Eventually I get up, thinking something could be wrong. I go downstairs and our Christmas tree has been knocked over. Thankfully it's not real or I would have had a giant mess on my hands. I stood there in shock for about a minute trying to think of how in the world it could have gotten knocked over. So I had to make it right and put all of the ornaments that fell off back on. Then I realized I couldn't find Audrey. Luckily she was in Mikaila's room and was ready to leave as soon as I opened the door.

So, Zeb nor I got the best sleep last night but I'm sure it won't effect our day! To counter this whining about sleep, here are some beyond cute pictures of Mikaila sleeping and of her new favorite thing in the world, her Little Giraffe blanket.
