Sometimes I'm in such a flow doing office work, I just keep going. That's why it was 4 am, when I went to bed last night. Three hours later the babies were already up, and Emmy crying, which was an hour earlier than usual. It seemed counterproductive to give them milk an hour before breakfast, so we just stayed put, hoping he'd stop crying.

Today we woke up a few minutes later than usual; I think Randy and I were just so tired we were fast asleep so that it took us longer to hear them. We got up, and I had already started feeding them when Caritas helper Christine arrived with a trainee. I gave her some instructions for lunch, got everything ready, including the kids' clothes, and went back to bed.

Last night I was working hard and went to bed at 3:30 am, and they woke us up at their usual time of 8:05 am. Amazing how that's always the time on the clock, when I open my eyes. We fed them, cleaned them, dressed them, and I was cleaning up while Randy got his breakfast ready and then took them downstairs, while I went back to bed.
