A ROUGH COUPLE OF NIGHTS...

As a preface to this, I will say that we have been very blessed that the girls are great sleepers. With the very rare exception (sick and teething and that unfortunate period when Brooke insisted on finishing the night with us) they go to sleep easily and sleep all night.

Here are the girls playing together...basically Brooke attacks Audrey and they both think it is super funny!

So on Saturday, I (with encouragement from D) was having a night out with some girlfriends...for my facebook friends, you can see the karaoke pictures and you will notice that I am strategically placed NOT in front of a mike. Anyway, when I got home D was still up and I immediately noticed an odor. Well long story short, Brooke had been throwing up. Very SAD!! And apparently she was covered in it. Poor D had to give her a bath, change the sheets, and take off the bumpers and get the stuffed animals and wash it all. Then she threw up again...fortunately this only got on her PJ's and our carpet. I feel guilty that I was not here, but in real life I know it would not have changed anything. So the rest of Saturday night, we both slept lightly listening for additional throwing up. Fortunately this seems to have been an isolated incident.

Sunday night, Audrey started waking up screaming/pathetically crying about every 45 min starting around 11 pm. Eventually we let her sleep with us, but really none of us (except Brooke) got much sleep. We have determined that she must be teething - we can see one molar coming through and it feels like there are other teeth just on the horizon.

So basically we are tired here.
