Insert big sigh of relief here.
Hana has been going to bed much easier the last few days. We wrap her and she's out in a few minutes. Much better than the two hours of alternating screaming and being awake. Part of the problem was our expectations - getting her to sleep 7-7 just wasn't reasonable, especially if she was napping through the day. So we pushed bedtime back by an hour and a half and things are much smoother. She was going to sleep at that time anyway, so really the only difference is in how frustrated we get before hand.
Eli is growing so much now! He's like a different baby all of a sudden. I'm so so thankful that he's healthy.
So right now it's a little after 10 pm, both kids are asleep and I'm sitting on the couch spending time with my husband, watching him play a game. We're both relaxed, the house is reasonably clean, life is good.
After all the stress of the last couple of months this feels so good. I can think again. I can learn, I can interact.
I can also get so much more done! It's almost Christmas! hrm...maybe I'll get the decorations out....

Hey, thanks for the invite to your place during the move! We just might take you up on it. By that time they might need a little run around. Thanks much--I'll keep your number in the car.
I am so happy for you.
