And it only took 16 months...

Joel's alarm went off this morning at 6am.
For the first time in 16 months I awoke to the sound of an alarm clock and not that of a screaming child.
For the first time in 16 months BOTH of my children slept through the night without crying out for me.
Hallelujah!!
I knew that it would happen...someday.
I slept a solid 8 hours without needing to tend to a baby.

I went downstairs and poured myself a cup of coffee.
I sipped its deliciousness with the dark of the morning surrounding me, and the still of sleeping babes.
Then their daddy and I quietly cracked open the door to their room and woke them with a "Good Morning" song.
It was amazing.
Maybe this will be our new routine. One can wish, right?
