Bloody Murder...

The last few nights have been torturous for the entire Keogh clan.  EV has been waking up when Ed comes home from work (1:30 am-ish) or worse yet, waits until 3 to wake up and then both of us are so out neither one wants to get up.  I have not been hearing the 3 am wake ups, but poor Ed does.  Two nights ago he sneezed so loud (did I mention he is getting sick and now I think EV is too?) it woke her up.

Last night I crawled in around 2 since I stayed up...foolishly...watching softball and she woke up shortly after I was all comfy in bed.  I changed her diaper, put her back in the crib...SCREAMING...got her out to cuddle...she NEVER wants to cuddle but I thought maybe she would (you think strange things at 3 am)...put her back in the crib screaming again...Ed came in and tried to convince her, I'm not sure how, that she was tired.  Didn't work.  Ed was sleeping on the couch due to aforementioned sneezing so I picked her up and put her in bed with me.  It's the first time ever she has slept during the night in our bed.  Sometimes we'll nap as a family that way which I prefer since Ed is a great barrier on the other side of the bed.  This time I put my body pillow on the far side of us and wrapped my arm around her.  She fought but eventually fell asleep.  It was around 4 at this point.  Like clockwork she woke up at 7:30.  Later Ed and EV napped for 3 hours and I got a lot of work done.  This story begs the question...why am I up now? Ok, going to bed.

This wasn't from last night but this is the face you get when you near the crib.
