How Much Sleep Does A Person Need?

Well, Mark and I haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately. The last two nights have been the worst. Here's how it's been going: Feeding time around 11pm, then Ethan and Sophia take turns fussing until two which is there second feeding time. Feeding lasts until 3am. Drew wakes up between 3:30 and 4 am, for about an hour. Maybe he's having bad dreams. We're not sure. Then the twins are back awake around 6 am for their next feeding! Then Drew wakes up for the day between 6:30 and 8am. Wow! Hopefully tonight things go a little better. Now I am just waiting to see if they fall asleep before I can go back to bed.

Tomorrow is Church, but with the above sleep schedule I am often napping at the time Church starts. Mom and Dad have taken Drew in the mornings so I can "nap". Thank goodness for them! And maybe one day soon we'll be able to go to church again! We'll just take each day as it comes, and have faith. :)

As someone who needs her sleep, I feel for you. I hope that all your kiddies will soon start sleeping through the night!
