Ahhh the joy of a new baby....babies that is. Prince's song "Delirious" is my new theme song. Though I am as stated in the title, Delirously Pleased with my new bundles of joy, I am also on the brink of being an involuntary insomniac. I am a person who LOVVES to sleep, its a total luxury for me.I love a big comfee bed with soft pillows and warm blankets, maybe a down comforter and a mint ...okay so maybe Im going too far, but you get the idea.
Having a new baby means sleepless nights, but having two?! Whoa... So they are great kids, God has blessed me with 4 healthy babies that are not big criars or fussers okay so Im only 3 weeks in on these two but so far so good, and God will only give you what you can handle,right?
I think he knows I cant handle much more after my crazy 2008! Waking up every 3 hours is not so bad, they havent cried all night yet and they generally eat,get changed, and go back to sleep with no problems. But when they take about an hour to eat each that means one hour for sleep between feedings-not so fun for a girl that loves sleep.My husband helps on the weekends when he is not working and my older kids are the BIGGEST helpers, they are so Awesome. I have never wanted to be an insomniac,infact I have felt sorry for those who suffer from such a terrible thing because being a sleeper is sooo nice but lately Im thinking it would be nice to have insomnia just for the next year or so to keep me from this "delirious" state I am currently in !
I cant remember things,I am a bit clumsy, and probably whatever else comes with the state of delirium-But I am pleased nonetheless, 2 healthy beautiful babies and two amazing older daughters who made it through my deliriousness during their first years.I dont need it, no sleep is as good as this!

Colleen!!! So glad you posted! I don't know what you are going through although it reminds me of my many college days of staying up late getting work done and then going to work! LOL! I am sure I have delirium to look forward too!!!
Colleen, I love your blog and the new pics you posted. I'm hoping to come visit again soon, Erinn and I couldn't get enough of those precious babies! I remember the days of sleepless nights and actually miss them - those were the days when my sweet little one was all to me, the house was quiet and I didn't have to worry about doing anything but cuddling and feeding my baby. Although I was exhausted it was still wonderful, obviously the delirium hasn't left me!
Oh Colleena anna!!! I love them and you! I can't wait tell me and momo come and see you and get to squeeze the peas!! YEAH!!
I can't wait to come see them again, time seems like it just is flying by since you were at the hospital!! They are absolutely precious, you are very blessed! Hope to see you soon!! Miss you!
