1 year 11 days - My plan to go to bed at 1 am for the second day in a row did not quite work out. It was nearly 2 am, and again I had to get up a few more times during the night, before Randy's shift started. 2 am is still better than 4 am, and I felt the difference. I'll get there eventually. I'd better as swimming starts soon again, and it will be in the morning again.

Last night I actually succeeded at going to bed earlier - at 1 am instead of 4 am. That was a first in a LONG time! It does take me a while to fall asleep, and then two babies needed milk before 3 am, so I had not slept that long, and then Emmy went frantic again, forcing me to take him out of bed as that was the only way he'd calm down.

Emmy had a tough time last night. He was crying at 4 am - our shift change - and would not stop unless I held him. At first he would not drink milk either but was frantic. After he calmed down he drank, and then he fell asleep. And that's how it was 4:30 am before I went to bed. So much for going to bed earlier this week.
