and not a lot of sleep!
After a long day at home with the kiddos, I had such a wonderful night... one of those times that makes all the small sacrifices worth it and then some! Kaleb has been sick and a little on the whiny, not minding, side and driving me a little crazy. By the time Ben got home, it was definitely time for some Father-Son fun! After dinner, they called Gramma and Grampa Murdock, and then Ben played with Kaleb in the bath and got him ready for bed.
Dylan and I were left to relax... I got him to sleep, then took a much needed two hour nap. (Is it really called a nap if it's after dinner?) Anyway, it was fabulous sleeping in our nice bed with fresh, clean sheets and the window open, letting in the cool night breeze. I woke up to Dylan needing fed, and then got a second wind, and finished up cleaning up the mess of the day.
Kaleb woke up around midnight and needed some cuddles. He's such a cuddler and we fell asleep nose to nose snuggling in his little bed. Then it was Dylan's turn... he was fussing a little, so I went to check on him. He had his arms up on either side of his head while he was sleeping (I love that!) and when I patted his little tummy, he smiled so sweetly. Later I nursed him and he started "talking" to me...making the sweetest little sighs and cutest little coos and I fell in love with him all over again!
When it was finally time for Ben and I to "hit the hay," he tickled in my hair until we were both asleep. It was such a sweet ending to such a terrible, horrible, no good very bad day!

I am so with you on having those days. And I am sure I will have many more but I totally agree that no matter how hard a day is, it is so worth it when you see those sweet things sleeping so innocently. And having a baby can make those hard days seem like they will never end. But you are such a great mom and the good days will definitely weigh out the bad ones. I sure miss ya!
Gotta love those precious moments when no matter how tired you are...you looks at your sweet baby and your heart melts all over again.
You are such a great mom.Good job, getting up and cleaning, I think I would have stayed in bed. That's probably why my house seems to always be a mess:) I know it is so hard to get no sleep but your right,it's so worth it. Some day when our kids are out with there friends we'll long for the day they used to live to snuggle us. I hope Kaleb is feeling better.
I am so glad that you are feeling better and enjoying the ride along with all the bumps! Those boys are so precious and they do grow up way too fast. Thank you and Ben for having such good kids and being such wonderful parents. We love you all and miss you too!
