Day... Oh to heck with it... Three WEEKS of the beans!

No, nothing is wrong, other than severe sleep deprivation.

Now don't get me wrong, we LOVE the beans, but could they sleep... just a little? Please?

Big sister Emily appears to be developing colic. Several nights of heart-breaking cries from her and some phone calls to the pediatrician's office, internet research (well, I *am* the house geek...) and even some old-school things called "books" were consulted. Pretty much nothing we can do except try to comfort her and ride it out. Poor thing sounds so awful crying, it's just heart-breaking to hear.

Noah seems to be growing like a weed. He looks like he's filling out his skin much better and looking less like a shar-pei dog. And the lungs on that boy! When he wants to eat, he will let you know at top volume.

Sydney's blocked tear duct looks much better now, she isn't waking up with her eyelids all but glued shut, and that's such an improvement for her! She is still sweet and quiet (mostly), and thankfully she usually goes right to sleep giving us time to focus on the other two who like to stay awake and fuss. Sydney got her very first bath tonight, Complete with grandparents, video camera, snapshots, the whole media event. She got through it with no fussing, no crying, just took it all in stride. Thank you Sydney for making that first bath so easy! As soon as Daddy gets your pictures sorted through, he'll add them to what was uploaded tonight.

I'm sorry it took a while to get to this, but with everything going on around here, it gets tough to make time to sit at a computer doing this instead of helping out with the babies. At least this time I didn't fall asleep on it...

I'm glad to hear that for the most part they are doing so well. Hopelly Emily will get over her latest bump in the road and Noah and her will learn to be more like Sydney and give you guys some well deserved rest!

Hang in there it'll get a little worse before it gets better, but then again, it's so worth it. I told you about the sleep thing. (grab it while you can, just like guard duty in the Army, switch off and on with the wife, you will need constant vigilence with these three little bundles I'm sure) I hope your Mom never cursed for you to have children not any better or worse than you, but just like you kind of thing. If she did, you best be doing some major butt kissing to remove that one. God Bless you all.
