I am not sure if I have documented this on here before, but since Brooke has been home with us, I have been nuts. For almost all of the 10 weeks she has been around, I have woken up in the middle of the night and thought Ellie (and sometimes Maddie) was Brooke. I have woken Chris up to have him get her out of the bed, with him reassuring me that it is not Brooke and that I am feeling the dogs. I have even woken up and made myself keep my legs in a certain position because Chris told me to so that Brooke wouldn't fall out of bed. WE HAVE NEVER HAD HER IN OUR BED! This has happened almost every night. What is it...that I am extrememly tired? That Ellie was my baby for 6 years?
But, last night, was the kicker...
I woke up, felt "Brooke", realized it wasn't Brooke when I felt the snout and ears, BUT I still picked Ellie up. (side note: I have tried to pick her up previously, but there is quite a weight difference between Ellie [35lbs) and Brooke [11 lbs], so I have realized it and went back to sleep). BUT, I was crazy last night and I picked her up and got halfway to the bassinet. Chris wakes up and tells me it is Ellie and not to put her in the bassinet. Thankfully, he woke up or Ellie would have been having a slumber party with Brooke.
Why am I so nuts??
