Sleepless Nights

I was wrong, I guess. I was under the impression that it is your newborn baby that is supposed to cause you nights of unrest. In our household, this isn't the case...it's our two year old who seems determined to keep us up all night long. Last night we were awaked around 12:45 by Will who seemed to be content to just get up and stay up. From then until noon today, he slept maybe 2 to 2 1/2 hours off and on. He just would NOT go back to sleep. He must have been running on pure adrenaline. His eyes are so very pink. When he did go down at noon, he only slept for about an hour and a half...just half of his normal naptime. Is this just a phase? Anyone else have this problem with their child/children? This is definitely a new thing...Will ususally sleeps ten to twelve hours a night easily and takes a good 2 to 3 hour nap during the day. Please pray that Scott and I can sleep easy soon!

As for other news, not much else is happening...Claire is doing great. She is a wonderful baby! We are so blessed. We took her to her two month check up on Monday and she now weighs a whopping 11 lbs, 13 ounces! She's grown quite a bit and is now in the 75th percentile of the growth chart.

I'm off to try to get some rest...
