Night Feedings

No no, Aiden has been sleeping through the night for nearly a year, but in the last few weeks I have been doing some night feedings for a new family with triplets. In fact I am there right now, all babies are sleeping with full tummies, for the time being. It’s fun actually, I never stay up past 10pm anymore, and with them I am usually here until 4am or so, so I get a healthy dose of darkness. They are very sweet triplets, 5 weeks old, 2 girls and a boy, and they are very easy to care for, so far. Hopefully tonight will prove uneventful. I am almost halfway done with my shift, kinda sucks because I worked all day at the hospital and then I am doing this at night, but at least I have tomorrow off, and Brandon promised to get Aiden up in the morning, and let me sleep in.

Brandon and I are getting so excited to move, a bigger place is what we so desperately need. We have such a small space that every other week we are trying to pare down our stuff, so we won’t feel so crammed (literally, we live in a shoebox, it’s horrible) I don’t know what we are going to do with all this space. I really feel like our lives in general are going to improve. Aiden will actually have a bedroom, with a door (he currently sleeps in the loft, and we can’t so much as breathe in the livingroom or kitchen without waking him) and Brandon and I will no longer have to share a bathroom. I will no longer have to deal with laundry room psychos (refer to previous post) and we even have a yard with an herb garden!!!! how cool is that?!?!?!? I honestly think that when Brandon and I are at each other’s throats it boils down to living in such a small space, it just makes us uptight!!! So we will be able to get more organized and have a nice routine once Jan 1st comes along. I am sure we will have our style cramped during the holidays, staying with family is going to be interesting for Aiden, I am not sure how he is going to sleep away from home. I guess I will find out soon. It is nearly 1am and I am so tired, if I have to work nights I don’t know how I will ever manage, I am a wuss!!!! Now that I am in L&D it is very likely that I will have to work nights sometime next year, I am not looking forward to that, we’ll see how it goes, I might even like it.
