As of Monday, my birthday, everybody randomly decided to take a 2 hour nap from 12-2. This has not happened since December 18. It was the best thing ever. We had a horrible night and a not so good morning and then they all slept from 12-2. I was singing praises. I decided it was high time to get these babies on a nap schedule and have succeeded every day this week. Awesome. I currently wake up with the babies sometime between 7:15 and 7:30 and feed them. I then pump and eat breakfast and Adelyn has woken sometime around 8. She stays in her bed until I'm finished pumping and eating. I get Adelyn and she eats breakfast while I unload and load the dishwasher and pick up whatever has been left out. By this time it's around 9/9:15 and the babies are getting ready for their morning nap. They have either been in their bouncy seats or in their bumbos watching Adelyn. Sometimes we get to play a little before their nap. I bring them upstairs for their morning nap and that lasts 45 minutes to an hour. Adelyn and I usually play during this time and I typically take a shower. I then feed the babies at 10:30 and Adelyn watches Sesame Street. We all play together until lunch at 11:30/11:45. The babies generally sit on the table while Adelyn and I eat. They go down right after we eat between 12 and 12:15 and nap until 2ish. As soon as the babies are down I take Adelyn upstairs for a nap and she naps until 2/3, depending on when she actually goes to sleep. The babies eat again between 2 and 2:30, depending on when they get up. We all play/go outside/go for a walk until the babies go down again at 4/4:30. During this time I whip up some semblance of supper while the babies take a 30-45 minute nap. I feed them again between 4:30 and 5. Eric gets home at 5:30, we eat supper, go for a walk if it's nice, do bathes if needed and have started putting the babies down earlier to get rid of the 4th nap and hopefully get them to sleep longer. I start nursing them around 7, Adelyn gets her jammies on and watches a movie until Brecken or Joelle is sleeping, then Eric or I put Adelyn down while the other person finishes putting the other baby to sleep. Then Eric and I watch TV :)
