Ever since I had OG I have had people come up to me and ask me if I’ve been able to get any sleep with a baby.  I hate to brag about it but my kids are sleepers, ever since OG was born she has slept through the night.  The first week she was born I had to wake her up to eat. OG has always loved her naps and has slept at least 12 hours through the night, never waking up before 8am. 

When we had AK I was nervous that she was going to be the opposite of OG and we were going to experience all the horror stories we have heard from parents whose kids get their days and nights mixed up.  But, fortunately for us AK also slept through the night, almost every night.

Then came November 7th, 2010, Daylight Saving Time.  Both girls still love their naps and go down to bed at night with no problem between 8-9pm.  The problem is that OG is now getting up anywhere between 5:45-6:30am and AK is waking up around 6:30am.  Nate and I both love our sleep and I like being up early but not this early.  I even kept them up later a couple of nights to see if that would work and it didn’t.  I thought that it was only going to last a couple of nights but here we are 1 week later and nothing has changed.

The “fall back, you get another hour of sleep” saying is a big fat load of crap when you have children.  I just hope that the girls get used to this time change and they go back to sleeping in, for the sake of my sanity and their young precious lives.  If not, we will be moving to Arizona, Indiana or Hawaii ( I choose Hawaii) in order to get sleep all year round.
