How do you survive all the sleepless nights?

Surviving all the sleepless nights that come with the house with a newborn:

So here I am back in my local watering hole with a quick beer on the way home. See, I have to this club Pass Bar "La Peña de Taurine" (a Spanish version of the local labor) to come to my house, because at the end of my street and this is the problem, I do not go. I stop and go anyway, I'm here my business hat and stop again how happy I am insideTwins ...

"It's much easier with two children at the same time, because you get through all the steps again, no need to start all over again when the second child arrives. We only diapers Jenny came when Peter and we had to start over all over again! "

Now, these kinds of statements always seem to loose ooze from the mouths of people who are not twins and have little or no experience in the formation of twins.

So what really is so, howTwins?

First, let me explain that I think all children under 6 months, only two legs, machines that produce waste anyway. Let's do everything you are eating, sleeping, creating organic waste. I know of no other man just been invented on this planet more effectively turn milky white fluid called, in a bright green and / or basic yellow substance, which from a distance as the nearest village smell!

In any case, there are some subtle differences in the context of a child at a time orTwins. First, in a normal infant sleep patterns for about three hours, when we say something, Jenny 9 pm to sleep, we sleep at 10 or after 11 pm. Some quick lunch hours sleep and we are a dozen clock until the first feeding, we will back to bed around 1am we give up to 4 clock before the next feed. If both parents share the responsibility to stand up and turn every time you can squeeze almost six hours sleep a night. Not bad.

NowTake the same night, but with twins. A friend at work had identical twins, who were completely in sync with each other. He awoke at once and went to sleep at the same time, so in this case, it would be very similar to the previous example, but our girls are twins and are completely out of sync with the other fraternal go so that our night would be normal something. ..

Rebeca bed at 9 pm, Laura asleep at 10 pm, sleep at 11 clock, Rebeca wakes up at midnight and goes back toby 1 clock at night to sleep just in time for Laura to wake up again at 2 pm. Let's go back to sleep and wakes up at 3 am, Rebeca again the morning of 4 clock, back to sleep for 5am and Laura wakes up at 6 am ... Now tell me their twins easier. The only solution we came up with was that between 10pm and 8am every parent should take responsibility for a child. I look through the nights and Rebeca Maria takes care of Laura.

This worked for us, although I can not remember what its like to share a bedwith my wife more than I usually always that if she is, but 16 months, usually getting up only once and slept with Laura quite often. What keeps you sane is the recognition that it is better, but I can not help wondering if I sleep my first night full of special moments for me again these three in the morning and miss the closeness, the returns with rocking a baby to sleep?
