April 4 - Ah Night Shifts

After my hectic night shift I was beat! I just came home, said hi to Anth and the kids, had a quick bite to eat (I was starving!! No time to eat on a night shift like that!) and went to bed!!! I couldn't even keep my eyes open! Unfortunately Anth had to work that night so I had to get up with plenty of time for him to have a nap before work :( I think I could have slept all day AND all night. I set my alarm for 1pm and hit snooze until 2!! Luckily Anth was busy and wasn't ready to go to bed yet. He took the kids for another run and had them outside for a while afterwards.

Anth was just bringing the kids into the house when I rolled out of bed. Then he had a bite to eat and went to bed. The kids weren't entirely happy so I just decided to give them an early bath (always a hit!) to cheer them up. It worked, until I had to get them dressed. Carson especially hates getting dressed after a bath. Gav is pretty good and usually just jumps in his crib until it's his turn. I brought the boys downstairs so that Anth could have some uninterrupted sleep and I layed on the floor to play with the boys. They were jumping all over me for a while and then I noticed that Cars hadn't moved for a while and was awfully quiet - I looked over and he was draped over my arm, asleep! Gav crawled over shortly after and layed basically on my neck and fell asleep almost instantly!! Anth came down from his nap to find us like this......

Don't mind my post night shift sleep look - I had to post this regardless of that because it is so ridiculous that the boys were sleeping like this!! haha

Before Anth went to work I got him to help me out from underneath the boys. I just figured that they would both wake up as they usually do, but then......

They just kept sleeping!!


So cute!!

Since they were sleeping I snuck up onto the chair and fell asleep for about 10 minutes until Cars woke up and came over. I snatched him up and he fell back asleep right away. Gav woke up shortly after and had a little melt down. I snatched him up onto the chair with me and Cars and rubbed his back for a while. Eventually he settled down and actually went back to sleep. I was back to having both babes asleep on me....

At least it was more comfortable!

They each ended up sleeping over 2 hrs in total. I kept trying to wake Carson up because I was worried he wouldn't sleep well that night (he has been waking up overnight lately) but each time I tried to sit him up he just looked at me with half-open eyes and slumped right back into my arms and right back to sleep. Too cute!!! I do LOVE the snuggling!! After the nap it was dinner, playtime and then bedtime. They both went to bed at their usual time and went to sleep no problem!!!
