so...caleb slept through the night for the most part. he got up at 1215 crying and wanting to be carried. as i picked him up i said a little prayer...i carried him out into the living room because i didn't want him to wake up my mom (though i shouldn't have worried, she was snoring away...lol) and put him on the couch...he asked (whined) for water so i got up to get him some. when i got back to the couch, he was sleeping again and so i lay down on the couch with him to sleep...of course, me and him on the couch is not very comfortable, so when i was sure he was sleeping, i picked him up and carried him back to his bed, tucked him in, made sure he would stay sleeping, and headed back to my own bed. so, all in all, caleb had a good sleep cuz he didn't bother me again until 6 a.m., when he climbed into our bed.
brynna, on the other hand, had a hard night. we had decided to let her just cry for the most part...and boy did she cry. i guess it's especially hard because she'll stand up and peer over the edge of the crib at us on the bed...and scream because we aren't responding to her. it's HARD to sleep with a screaming baby. she must have got up at least 4 times crying....dave fed her twice. the hard part, i was telling dave, is that i can't just sleep through her cries...and i can't go to sleep after she's done crying because i keep worrying that she'll have her head buried in the pillow or the blanket and won't be able to breathe.
needless to say, we're tired today, but overall, the night was better than i expected.

It gets better. I promise. I still wake up and check on them, making sure they're warm and cozy. I don't think that'll ever stop. But it does get better.
