I have angered the Sleep gods...

And apparently the Technology/Communication gods are not ready to release their curse on me either.

No lying - I've spent the entire day trying to get my Internet back up and running. Obviously with success. But it seems I just can't let my guard down for one minute! And I'm waiting on yet another new camera cord to be able to download from my new-to-me camera.

During my blogging hiatus, I wasn't able to mention how well sleep had been going. Austin has been sleeping through the night (10PMish to 8:30AMish) every day. Logan will still go down like a champ but at anytime during the night, he will wake up, trot on into our room and plop into bed with us. If you remember, it took a full 2weeks to get them to go from co-sleeping to their own room/beds. I had a rougher/longer stretch with Logan and we had a lot of "cry it out" nights. Well - that sort of backfired on me: Logan became a completely different child, angry, hitting, biting. You could see it in his eyes and face muscles. Once I put two and two together, I started comforting/soothing him again when he cried out at night. Even if it was just to rock him for a few minutes. Within two days, he returned to the fun, happy go lucky little Logan he was before. Ever since, life has been great. Austin sleeping through (3 hours naps and 10 hours at night). Logan doing the same except maybe one cry out at nap and joining us randomly throughout the night.

Last night Logan spiked a fever for some unknown reason (milk allergy? Daddy took the boys out for ice cream. New Calcium multi-vitamin? It certainly has, uh, clotted up the poo in a good way. Molars coming in?) . He didn't appear to be in pain, he answered all my questions clearly (Tummy hurt? nope. Head hurt? nope. Want some water? okay. ) He woke up screaming, wanting to come downstairs. We hung out for a bit then I took him back upstairs. And he just tossed and turned forever. I had given him Tylenol when he first woke-up and then I remembered that that never seems to help us with fevers. So, an hour later he got Motrin and another hour later he finally went to sleep. The last time I looked at the clock it was 4:30am - and I had not been to sleep at all.

So, Logan's fever went down. He went to sleep. I went to sleep. And Little Mr. Sir-Sleeps-A-Lot Austin decided today of all days to wake up at 6:30AM!! And was ready for the day. WTF!?! Did you do the math? I barely got two hours, if that, of sleep. AiyiYIyiYee!

Nap time was not much better. Keeping my fingers crossed for tonight.

I didn't realize how much I had been sleeping until I didn't get my sleep last night. I am very, very thankful for how well we have been sleeping all summer long. Even more so than the technology gods, I would like to make an offering to the sleep gods. I love me some sleep!!
