Babywise and overthinking :)

So for those of you who haven't read it, I have sworn by the book "on becoming babywise" by Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam. I really tried to implement the principles in the book with our twinos, which i did really well with until the last month.

A little background- I tend to over-think things A LOT and have to have a "plan" or "picture" of how things will go exactly in my mind before i do something so i'll spend minutes, hours, days, weeks and sometimes months contemplating something before i do it- it's just the way i work, i'm not a super quick thinker and it takes me time to process, which leads to frequent over thinking. It's a flaw and i'm not afraid to admit it (ok maybe a little, but i will) :)

So anyway back to the babywise- I got so comfortable with the 3 hour routine and feedings and was SO afraid they wouldn't sleep through the night anymore if i cut out the late night feeding, so after our trip to Utah i decided it was time to progress, the babies just weren't having it anymore. so the last week 1/2 i've been trying to move them closer to a 4 hour schedule and going to bed sooner. Micah was pretty easy to get on this schedule, Hallie with her teething and well Hallie being Hallie, was a little more difficult, she kept waking up early out of her naps and was hard to keep awake until yesterday! all of our work FINALLY paid off! Today was wonderful!! The both woke up around 7, slept wonderfully, were pleasant while they were awake, and were asleep by 8:30 tonight! it's totally what i've pictured and what i've wanted for so long i was just so afraid they would wake up early and i wouldn't get a full nights rest. so from now on, i'm going with the flow! and we can all keep praying and hoping those teeth will show themselves quickly and painlessly!

Here's a picture for the day and now it's off to sleep in our new bed :)
