Roller Coaster Ride



In addition to being on a roller coaster of emotions (mostly good) since Kailyn arrived, Helen and I have also experienced the ups and downs of baby's sleep schedule. There will be nights when she goes down for nearly three straight hours (the best that we can hope for, for now), then there are the nights when she is less cooperative. Usually you can tell from our moods and how dark the bags under our eyes are, how our evening went.

In some ways it's like handling a time bomb- you have to move slowly, walk quietly and be very careful in order not to set it/her off. Otherwise, our restful sleep will be obliterated.
