Well, I can say that nothing much has changed around our house since the last post. We are still tired and fighting whatever is in the air.
First, let me back up and send our thoughts and prayers to our family and friends (and everyone else for that matter) in the Houston area who were affected by Hurrican Ike. They are all living without electricity and water and are not expecting anything to be resolved for a couple of weeks. It is a devastating event and I'm just so thankful it didn't reak more havoc.
Gracie was up most of the night last night with a high fever and upset stomach. We think she has a 24-hour bug, but we haven't even approached the 12th hour so there is no way of knowing. She does not feel good though.
The boys....well, thanks to the Baby Whisperer (aka - Nanny Barbara), we have committed ourselves to letting the boys comfort themselves at night. That means letting them go to sleep on their own and when they wake up in the middle of the night, letting them go back to sleep without any food. We started this 2 nights ago and although the nights have been interrupted multiple times, we have held strong to our commitment. We are hoping by the weekend, they will understand that mommy or daddy is not going to pick them up and hold them in their arms to go to sleep and they're not going to feed in the middle of the night. Wish us luck.
Congrats to the Verweils on the birth of their new baby boy - Henry Micah. Born on Monday 9/15. Everyone is happy and healthy. They all come home today.
