Growth spurts

I think all three girls are going through growth spurts. Elizabeth is constantly saying, "I'm hungry, Mommy!" Katherine always eats us out of house and home. And, after a month of sleeping through the night, Annie has started waking to nurse at 4a.m., again. I'd already forgotten how tired that makes me, even though I only wake enough to get her latched on before I'm asleep again (and usually so is she). She nursed for food and for comfort constantly from 3:55a.m until just a bit before 6a.m. - so I was in and out of sleep.

Now I'm sitting here longing for some "real" coffee to wake me and to help me get my butt in gear. But if I do that, it'll make poor little bitty one puke like crazy (and the Prevacid has worked wonders in that regard - I don't want to make it worse) I want to get closets cleaned out today and get the laundry done. I'm so tired of having piles of clothes in my bedroom floor. Time to get it done and get the winter clothes put away.

It's supposed to be rainy here today and since it's already overcast, seems like staying in and doing laundry is as good an idea as any.

She has slept through for a month already!!!! I'm still waiting for Zander to do that LOL (although he only wakes once a night and that is better than his brothers every did at this age)

Ahhh the joys of motherhood. I'm surving on coffee today, my almost 3 year old kept me up all night, no kidding, ALL night, tossing and turning, whining and moaning. I'm getting too old for all nighters though, I feel like I was run over by a huge semi truck LOL

Hope you got some rest today :)
