I just made myself a jug mug of coffee, as it’s almost 11:00 which means I’ll have 25 minutes before I need to pick up Jaylen from school. Alaethia, adorable little snugglebug that she is, fell asleep with me around 11:30-11:45pm after I had my shower, woke up at 2:20, went back to sleep at 2:45 and woke me up for another bottle at 5:30. Which, after feeding her, would leave me with half an hour to sleep before I had to wake up at 6:30 to get the boys ready. At least we weren’t up till 1:30 or 3:00, right? I have to admit, though: she does much better than the boys did, who were up every hour to eat since they were both little fatsos.

I asked Elda to drop the boys off for me and I’m just praying Eenan didn’t piss off Jaylen, which would mean that Jaylen would scream, which means that Eenan would get frustrated, Jaylen would throw himself on the floor in the middle of the hallway at school, and Eenan would ultimately drag him all the way to their hall. It happens that way at home all the time. I don’t expect any different when they’re alone at school *sigh*. Let’s pray that that’s the complete opposite of what happened.

So yeah, Alaethia’s big eyes have been fluttering their long eyelashes since around 8:45, which just so happened to be the time that I dropped John off at work and came back home, excited to swaddle Alaethia in her receiving blanket and jump into my warm bed with her and get some extra sleep. She’s had two 2 ounce bottles since, spit up about 3 of those ounces and patiently crossed her little hands on her lap and looked out the window while surrounded by her Boppy. And now, at 11am, when I’m getting ready to pick up her brother, she’s sleeping happily in my mother’s arms and laughing in her sleep. She’ll pay for this when she’s a teenager and wants to sleep till noon, buahaha.
