13 months 18 days

It was after 2:30 when I went to bed, but it took me an hour to fall asleep. In the morning, I was woken up when Randy took care of the kids, and then the alarm woke me and I crawled out of bed to make their food. We fed them upstairs (which we do before they take a nap), but then Randy told me that they weren't tired yet, so we took them back downstairs. I told him he could bring one to me any time if they needed help falling asleep. Around 10 pm (45 minutes later), I woke up when he put Tammy on my chest. She then slept on me for an hour. After she woke up, I took her downstairs to rejoin the others. Randy told me that Emmy had slept about half an hour. Sammy usually has no problem sleeping.

As I had lots to do before leaving at 1 pm, I stayed up, got Sammy's clothes ready, and started cooking, hoping I'd have enough time to eat this time. We then fed the babies downstairs, and I finished cooking, and got to eat as well. I then dressed Sammy, put him in the stroller, put a warm winter coat and boots on him, and off we went on time. Randy stayed home with the other two this time.

It was cold and raining, and so I ran from our house to the subway, pushing the stroller. We had three subways to take, which is arduous and takes time. We got to the hospital early, had our temperatures taken, I had to disinfect my hands, and we went to the waiting area in front of the room where the physiotherapy session was gonna be.

The therapist arrived early, and in we went. It's been a long time since I've been there with Sammy without the others, as Randy usually goes with him. The last session was 3 weeks ago, as the therapist was on vacation. She was very impressed with Sammy's progress, and he showed her how he now turns over easily, and crawls a lot. She made him crawl up stairs, and practiced sitting, which is going to be his next goal. He did great the whole time, and was happy for most of the hour.

I packed him back up and into the stroller, and we went back home. Sammy has stopped sleeping in the stroller; he didn't sleep today either, and never did until going to bed, with his last nap having been at 9:30 am!

We got home at 3:30 pm, and he rejoined his siblings. I found out that Randy had not been able to get the other two to take a nap in the afternoon, and that they had hardly eaten anything. Next time I'll be the one staying at home again!

They were both tired, and so I went to the kitchen to start making their food a little earlier than usual. It was 5 pm as usual before I was done and we could start feeding them. However, Tammy was so extremely tired, she was just crying and would not eat. I finally decided to put her to bed, even though Emmy was not done eating yet. Emmy was happily crawling around, while I got her ready and put her to bed. She only took a few sips of her milk as well and was crying, and then fell asleep pretty fast while I was stroking her head. She'd been so very tired! They just need their naps! Since she hadn't eaten anything, she drank lots of milk three hours later when she woke up hungry.

I then continued feeding Emmy and got him ready for bed. He was tired as well, and didn't need much to fall asleep. Sammy fell asleep while Randy gave him his milk, and he immediately fell asleep when I put him to bed. All three were asleep before 6 pm!

Emmy was the first one waking up again. When he wakes up and does not have his pacifier in his mouth, he stands up and cries. As soon as you put the pacifier back into his mouth, he's fine and continues sleeping. A little while later he woke up again, and him and Sammy also got fed before 9 pm already. He would not let me walk away, so I had to stay a little until he was sleeping again.

I'm more tired than usual tonight. Last night was short, and I didn't get to lie down with a baby this afternoon. As I always feed them around 2 am, I doubt I'll go to bed any earlier tonight, but just maybe, I'll fall asleep faster.
