rough night.


the other night, we discovered that husband can sleep while the baby grunts and whimpers all night.
and i can't.
as soon as the baby fell into a deep sleep, he burst out laughing in his sleep and woke her up again.
when i say burst out, i mean that it made me jump. honestly.

what was the dream? "i was in a class and the teacher gave a bad lecture, but everyone clapped and cheered at the end. so i started laughing, to mock them all. it was silly."

it seriously took me forever to quiet his giggles.
don't get me started on the dog - tapping his little claws on the hard floor as he danced around the room at an ungodly hour.

also, there is a donkey down the street that brays all night. not joking.






p.s. - my mom asked if any of the webcam shots were doctored. the answer is no, but i do have to take a lot of bad pictures to get a good one. example:

why aren't your new posts sowing up in my reader?!

sorry you had a rough night. My husband is also VERY able to sleep through baby. When my first was a newborn, I changed his diaper in our bedroom with the light on while he was SCREAMING and my husband didn't move a muscle.

Those long nights are the worst. And that last picture made me laugh and laugh. :)

I'd love to give you some hope on your nights getting better, but my kids are grown and gone and I still have nights like that. See my post, Sleepless in Washingtion.

By the way, you have an adorable little girl!! At this stage in my life, I'm hoping for grandchildren!!

O How I'm glad those rough nights are, for the most, behind me, well until we have another little one. I hope it al gets better!

I cant help but laugh at your husband bursting out in laughter in his sleep.

Admittedly though, I was one that could sleep while babe fusses at night. Lately (like the last 5 weeks or so) our 2 year old wakes up in the middle of the night and only calls for daddy. Wife is only too glad that thats the way it is now.

Hope maybe !!
