new bed

Ever since the girls mastered the skill of getting up from lying down position to sitting up and standing up, every time we put them down, they would stand up and shake the crib. They got way too excited and didn't want to sleep. EY refused to lay down. When she woke up in the middle of the night, she would cry and cry and shake and shake. Somehow HY learned that from EY so we would have two crying babies standing in their cribs refusing to go back down to sleep.

Yes, they ended up in our bed for a couple of weeks or longer. I could barely rest when the babies were next to me. They threw their arms right on your chest in the middle of the night. They got up and dropped their little heavy head right on your eye socket. They pulled your air like it was their toys. They kicked your tummy and back that you had no room to avoid.

Yes, a queen size bed could not fit four! We decided to buy them a mattress. A twin mattress. When they get older, we'll buy them a bunk bed. For now, they sleep on a mattress.
