3 1/2 hour bedtime

Last night's bedtime routine took 3 1/2 hours. It's amazing I didn't pull all of my hair out. Here's a breakdown:
  • 5:55 PM - Macie is fed and sleeping! I'm sure she's out for the night!
  • 6:00 - Begin Ethan's Bath (trying for an early bedtime -very tired kiddos!)
  • 7:00 - Leave Ethan's room after reading to him, laying with him, etc.
  • 7:05 - Macie's up. We let her cry, we try to feed her, we let her cry, we give her Orajel, we let her cry, we give her Tylenol.
  • 8:00ish - Macie throws up about 8 ounces of milk all over mommy and herself. She gets a bath; mommy gets a clean shirt
  • 8:30 - Mommy, Ethan, and Macie are all trying to sleep in mommy's bed. Macie is less than cooperative and Ethan keeps saying, "ssshhhh, Macie! Quite voice!"
  • 8:40 Ethan finally falls asleep in mommy's bed.
  • 8:45 - 9:00 - Mommy and Macie go for a drive. Macie's out like a light
  • 9:00 - daddy puts Macie in her crib, then makes a loud noise when he bumps into mommy in the hallway, thus waking up Macie.
  • 9:30 - after another bottle, some rocking, and music Macie is finally asleep
  • 9:31 - mommy crashes
