I just finished feeding my Breezer and putting her down until the last feeding of the night (roughly 10:30-11pm or so), and went to check on my two big girls. I came out of their room laughing hysterically and called Dan in to check them out as well. Maddie and Faith are 'spooning!' HA. It's hysterical. Usually Faith sleeps on the right side of the bed on her little rinky-dink Tinker Bell pillow, and Maddie always has the left side of the bed. Faith is squeezed in between Maddie's left arm (tucked underneath it) and the wall. It's the cutest thing. All I can imagine when seeing this is three little women in a few short years all tucked against each other like little sardines. And, all three as happy as could be.

I am dreading the ugly weather that is supposed to start tomorrow. The past two nights little Abrie has been a pistol about going back to bed after feeding her, and then I've got two other little girls wandering around in the darkness looking for 'Momma and Beeba (or, Bay Breezer as Maddie calls Abrie).' It has been nothing short of exhausting, especially with Dan on his 10-day work stint. The C. and the B. have transitioned wonderfully to this new life, and their only effect through this all has been sleeping habits. They are never early risers, but have both been awake at the crack of dawn or earlier (Maddie at 4:45am some mornings) because they hear Abrie and want to see her or myself. Not to mention, Maddie comes looking for me if she wakes up in the middle of the night and doesn't find me. Faith even did this last night as well at about 2am.
The nice weather has been rejuvenating for myself and my lovely ladies. They need to get out just as much as I do. They had a blast today out at the museum grounds, and it's so nice to have Abrie out and about with us as well. It's supposed to be ugly tomorrow, and I'm worried about what I'll do to entertain my big girls. Lucky for me, they think their baby sister is the best entertainment ever. I can't even get over how in love they are with her. It's a big help to me because I've got two other entertaining faces for miss Abrie to watch. Maddie tells me constantly that her favorite part of the day is when "Bay Breezer is wide awake, and I can play with her." And, Faith is constantly nearby wanting to burp her, squeeze her, or pat her on the head. It's neat to see the way Maddie and Faith are with each other now, because I just envision the three of them like this one day in the not-so-distant future.
In the meantime, my mantra will be "sleep is for the weak." I keep telling myself that this is my BMT and that I'll get through it all in one piece.
