Early to bed, late to rise

There was a time when I was pregnant when someone told me not to keep the girls up late in hopes that they will sleep later. I kind of thought that seemed like silly advice because obviously if you stay up later you will want to sleep later, right? No. This person was totally right. I have been putting the girls to bed around 9pm-ish lately and they have been waking up at 8am every morning no matter how late they stayed up. I’m not a morning person so I haven’t been too thrilled about this. Well last night they started acting sleepy early and I was going bonkers trying to keep them out of everything all day by myself so I decided that they were going to go to bed early. I started getting them ready for bed at 7:30pm and they were in bed by 8pm. Sure enough, they didn’t wake up until 10am today!!! I actually woke up before they did. So I’m going to get them to bed earlier from now on and see if they will sleep a little later, 9am is good, if I put them to bed early. Who woulda thought?

So speaking of by myself, Preston has been out of town since early Monday morning. My dad is coming down here to look for a job because he and my mom are considering moving down here, and so Preston went to pick him up so that he could build his flight hours. They are getting back tonight sometime. I’ve missed him so much! This is the longest we have been apart since we met! And it’s the only time I’ve ever gone to bed without him too. So I can’t wait for him to get home. I’ve realized the last couple of days how much of a help he is with the girls. I’m so thankful to have him. I’ve gotten a work out going up from the first floor to the third floor twice every time I need to come up here! Usually Preston or my brother carries one of the girls for me but since I’m here all by my lonesome, I’ve had to go up and down, up and down. It’s not so bad. I’m just complaining. I miss my hubby!
