Is night really for sleeping??

Well, it's almost 4 am, and I've been up since 1:30 am. First, it was with Daniel. I think he's having some growing pains. He woke up twice tonight, rubbing his legs and saying "owie". I spent 30 minutes each time with him, rubbing his legs until he could fall back to sleep. The second time he wanted new jammies on - not quite sure what that was all about. As soon as I changed his diaper and put him in new jammies, he settled right down. Maybe they other jammies are itchy - I'll have to check that out later. At 2 am Gretchen decided she needed a bottle, so wwe cuddled in the rocking chair while she drank her bottle. I really need to break her of this waking up in the middle of the night for 2 ounces! She's 14 months old, and it's high time she slept through the night. But I'm a softie! I got her back to sleep, and went back to bed myself, and while trying to fall asleep I kept thinking of e-mails I needed to send out. So, I got up, sent the e-mails, and now, almost 2 hours later, I'm still sitting here at the computer. It just sucks you in sometimes! As soon as I post this, I'm headed back to bed. Hope you all were able to sleep better tonight than I was!

i wanted to stop by and thank you for viewing and commenting on my blog earlier, your comments were so very sweet.
i have enjoyed reading your posts, your kids sound so fun and wonderful! this post rang quite familiar with me as we have been going through this with our 5 year old for about 2 years now. his legs often ache at night with growing pains. we rub his legs and pray with him and tell him that the ache means he is growing bigger. i myself never had them, but my hubbie did.
hope you got some good rest.
blessings,

I seem to be going to bed later and later these days. I need to stop! Hope you got some sleep yourself.
