Sleep is good. The more the better. Hoping you get some soon. Been in the trenches and can sort of remember the agony of sleep deprivation. It gets better, trust me. Kids are now 16 and twins 11. They sleep till 11 on their summer break. Unflipping imaginable in the early years.

In the meantime call up anyone you can and ask that they take your kids for 24 hours so you can SLEEEP! (Book yourself into whatever accommodations you can and get some zzzz’s woman!)

I love the name Rex….

Oh Daphne! Say it ain’t so! This pregnancy has been AMAZING. If all pregnancies were like this, it would make sense why Michelle Dugger had 18 of them! My son, Isaiah, was a holy terror…in utero and postpartum! Not only did I have THE depression, but He had colic for 4.5 months. There were moments when I looked out my husband with tears in my eyes and confessed, “I know why women kill their babies….” He would hold my hand and smile, “Jasmine, I am so thankful YOU said that aloud first…”
I adore Isaiah, now, but it was certainly a learned process. I was confused not to head over hills like other woman profess of their birth experience….
So with this one being so easy- I hope Isaiah doesn’t feel like the red-headed step-child.

The whole sleep issue fueled my Postpartum Depression…and when I finally did sleep, I told my husband that it was better than an orgasm covered in chocolate. He looked at me strange and told me, “go the hell back to sleep weirdo…”

ah, that is sweet Carly ( will be looking at it when I’m done writing this).
We’ll you are all kind of right. Last night was up from about 4 to 5 with him and even though I really like sleeping at that time I so enjoyed cuddeling with him and playing with him. He has a great disposition…even at 4am.

Okay, more Rex to come.
