The twins are in the middle of the 18-month growth spurt, developmental spurt, a cold and teething to boot. They have never been great sleepers but this has been crazy; taking forever to fall asleep, waking up every hour or so, and then waking up for the day at 5am when they usually sleep until 7:30. I could handle one of these but the combination has made for a very tired mommy. The kids seem to be getting over the cold and having the vapourizer running in the room at night seems to have made all the difference. It has been a crazy two weeks but we seem to be on the tail end of this stage. There is a reason that sleep deprivation is used as a method to break people, but I have survived. Just mark this as another step in my training. From what I have read, they will go through another stage like this next year, so I will have to stay on my toes. At least I will have year to catch up on my sleep.
