Back in the Blogosphere!

We're back!  We've been back from vacation for a little over a week, but we're finally all unpacked, mostly put away, and back on a schedule.

Jet lag was rough this time on both girls, and subsequently us.  We thought it was bad last time when it really only affected Grace.  Audrey was so little last time, and only sleeping in 3-5 hour intervals anyway, so it didn't seem to phase her as much.  Grace went to bed at 8pm, and was back up at 10pm for 4 hours.  And this time was no different, except add Audrey to the mix, AND they were both hungry at midnight, as if it was mealtime (since their bodies were telling them it was dinner time on the east coast).    They finally went to bed between 12 and 2am.  And then we made the big mistake of all sleeping till after 11am Sunday morning.  It felt great to sleep, but trying to get back on a schedule and get the girls to bed at normal time was no easy feat.  We kept them up as late as possible Sunday night, and they did sleep all night, but since we were so tired, after Matt left for work, I fell back asleep until after 9am.  When I realized what time it was I jumped out of bed to wake Grace and Audrey up so we could keep trying to move bed time up. 

Things in the sleep department slowly got better all week.  On Wednesday Grace had camp, so we were forced to get up before 8am to eat breakfast and get ready so we could get there by 9am.  I think this really helped us get over the sleep hump.  But the eating issues persisted all week.  They were not hungry for breakfast.  I guess their bodies were still telling them it was the middle of the night when they should have been eating breakfast.  But by lunch time they were ravenous.  When they wanted to eat and when they should be eating took the whole week to straighten out.  And then on top of it all..... they both got a stomach bug!  So they are finally eating, but a modified version of the BRAT diet.  One thing after another! 

Next up....Fun time in St. Louis and Quincy!
