Well after days of anticipation I am very excited to hear about McCain's pick for V.P. Four days of listening to the pro-choice hypocrites at the DNC just about put me over the edge. Gov. Sarah Palin is a woman who TRULY cares about women and who will stand up for what is ethically right. I just have to say that I am very excited!!

The nap see-saw

So my day went something like this:

• 6 a.m. Isabella wakes up demanding to eat. I feed her and sort-of half fall asleep while she finishes and then proceeds to kick me until about 8:30 when she dozes off.
• 8:40 Max wakes up and I hear "MOMMA" over the moniter. I drag myself out of bed and down the stairs to get him up. I get his breakfast and I hear that Isabella is awake again.
• 9 we play, watch a movie, feed Bella yogurt, which she loves, and generally have a good time.
• 11 Isabella has has enough so I put her down for her nap. Then I feed Max lunch.
• 12 Max goes down for his nap.
• I go lay down because I have a cold and 10 minutes later Bella is up.
• She nurses but will not fall back asleep.
• 1:30 FINALLY she goes back to sleep but I hear Max. I have to add that Max is a very easy-going sleeper. He goes down easily and usually sleeps for about 3 hrs. So I was completely confused to discover that he has been laying in bed awake for 1.5 hours. I go down to his room and give him back his blankie and stuffed animals. He finally goes to sleep at 2 and yes, you guessed it...Isabella wakes up.
• So this is where I am. It is 3:30, Max is asleep, Isabella is in bed but not asleep yet, I still haven't gotten to lay down, and Matt will be home within the half hour. I am sure that by the time he gets home to help, we will all be sleeping peacefully and he will have nothing to do.

I like to call it the nap see-saw. One baby goes down and the other gets up. Then that baby goes down and the other gets up. You get the picture. But for now, Isabella is calling!!

Welcome

In an effort to try and stay in touch I have decided to try my hand at blogging. I will try to write often and post pictures to let you all know what is going on in the Doucette household. I don't promise anything thrilling or super exciting but I hope you enjoy my blog!!
