New Years Eve Miracle

It has finally happened!  Last night, both girls slept through the night on the same night!!!  Both have been sleeping through the night here and there but not consistently and never on the same night as her sister.  I kept telling them if they were going to wake up to wake up the same night as their sister so they can sleep the same nights as their sister.  Well, they finally got the message.  For the first time since they were born both Shane and I got 8 hours of sleep straight.  We've both had nights of continuous sleep individually but it has usually been in a separate bedroom, separate floor of the house from everyone else in order to do it.

Here they are this morning after they got up and ate.  I kept telling them they were my New Years miracle.

We've been working hard to get them sleeping through the night as next week I am going back to work.  It's going to be a very hard, long week but if they keep this up even a few nights here and there, then it's going to make it a lot easier on all of us.  There has been a lot of sleepless nights this last few weeks as we have been trying to get all of us on a schedule in preparation with many tearful nights and mornings when it hasn't worked.  But maybe, just maybe it's going to pay off.  And if you want to know, yes I'm dreading going back to work but it needs to be for now.

Wish us luck and lots more sleeping through the night!

And here is a little bonus picture of the girls watching the BYU Football game yesterday.  Shane and I both think they look like little hoodlums, but cute little hoodlums they are.
