I did it! I somehow managed to get all three of the other members of the house to sleep at once. Granted, Molly had to do some quick growing up, skip the nightly cuddle, and live with an abreviated "last book" since Clara decided that Molly's bedtime was a good time to settle in for a long nursing. And Clara is only sleeping because I'm still holding her & bouncing her from time to time (my left arm is verrrrry tired). And I had to trick Zach into sleeping. And I'm still awake. But, considering that I've been unable to imagine that I would ever be able to handle both girls on my own, I'm pretty darn proud of myself & figured I'd share!
And now I'll see if I can do the impossible: get me to sleep, too!

To our dearest Sofia. Your words take me back - as if today I was 27 with 2 sons 25 months apart - to the rare mix of terror and satisfaction of new motherhood.
I welcome you to the amazing adventure that is at the core of mothering two children. ...As long as they don't figure out that they outnumber us, and, if we parents stay nimble and maintain some sense of humor...
oh, yes - & endless love.
Nana
