The Circle of Insanity


So my godchild Ehryn and her sister Emma came to spend the night on the 2oth. Ehryn is three and Emma is seven months old. This was set up to happen weeks ago. So my sister last minute had a babysitter issue. She asked me if I could watch Conner who is two months old as well. I had told her that I was already going to have three kids at the house and that it was going to be really hard with four, but I could not say no to my nephew. I had Dave home to help and Mom and Dad came over for a few hours to lend us a helping hand. I now know why it is physically impossible to have children less than nine months apart unless you are the few blessed with twins. (glad that is not me) It was a very interesting evening. Every time Ben or Conner cried the other one would start. I had Emma sleep in Ben's crib, Ehryn sleep in the bed in Ben's room, Conner slept in the pack n play downstairs with me on the couch and Ben got the bassinet in our room with Dave. Emma slept through the night, Ehryn got up once at four am thinking it was morning luckily she went back to sleep till seven. Conner was up at twice during the night. I woke Ben up at five thirty when he normally gets up just so he would be changed and fed. All of the kids seemed to be up at seven. I took Ehryn to get donuts then took Conner home at eight. Ehryn and Emma got picked up at ten. From twelve till two Ben and I took a nap while Dave cut the grass. I was so tired. Insanity having that many kids at the house all night.

You were very brave. And it sounded like it went fairly well. Ready to have another? Haha. Maybe you'll get triplets next time since you can obviously handle more than one.
