dyk, I'm still wide awake

dyk, tonight I baked 2 loaves of Irish Soda Bread

dyk, I think I mentioned never having had Irish Soda Bread before

dyk, I have no idea if it's authentic - and by authentic I mean a passable vegan version of the original

dyk, I can't imagine going 5 nights without sleep!

dyk, I'm doubtful that I could even walk, let alone function

dyk, and I'm basing this off of my regular 2-4 hours/night of sleep during busy season

dyk, in college I went 3+ days without sleeping...

Dyk Isabelle has been so cute and sweet. She is saying ball, which can either mean ball or balloon. She starting signing please, which is usually preceded by the more sign and frantically pointing at whatever it is she wants.

Dyk and she's SO loving! Today, while she was nursing, she unlatched and reached up to my face and pulled me down for a hug and kiss, then went back to nursing.

Dyk and she's always giving the boys loves, which they just love. It's so sweet!

dyk, yes, yes I do and one is hatching

dyk, apparently the person who has heaped all of this on me has informed my boss that I'm "not a positive person"

dyk, she also tried/is trying to take away my home access - I had to jump through hoops to validate why I still need it. So far, I'm still keeping it.

dyk, this woman has a tendency to let it seem like things have been closed and then she'll blindside you - like last week

dyk, I'm in an overall better mood

dyk, I've stopped crying, I'm smiling and joking at work (without even trying!), and I actually had a couple of pleasant conversations with eyeroll girl!

dyk, I think this no sleep thing is good for me!


dyk I think Elizabeth is delirious

dyk we stopped giving Abigail her sleep meds b/c she wasn't sleeping when she was taking them either

dyk she pulled ANOTHER all nighter

dyk not SURE WHAT TO DO

dyk this time she was at my mom's and THEY got to experience it

dyk I told my friend Jessia, and Sean, I think that my mom's well intentioned (and good ideas, but we're so far past them..) advice WILL CHANGE now that she's experienced an all nighter with Abigail

dyk Abi slept 6am-7am

dyk we may need to go back to giving her 1/2 the sleep med and see what happens

dyk her mood however, has been much more stable -- not "even" she's still having some increased energy days followed by decreased energy (and they do not correspond with the sleep all nighters!!) lol
