Can't Sleep
Well, here I am at 1:28 am and I cannot get back to sleep. Thankfully it is a Friday night (Saturday morning) and I don't have to work tomorrow but I do have to go to the gym at 7:00. Ben woke up at about 12:15 am and I have been awake ever since. It is the 2nd night in a row he has awakened. He is usually very good about sleeping through the night but he did'nt eat much for dinner last night. When that happens there is a chance he will wake up hungry. At least this time Ana was able to get him to go back down with no milk or anything. Did I tell you I have a kick a$$ wife? I sometimes call her the "Baby Whisperer". She doesn't give herself enough credit for being a fantastic Mom but I see it from a different angle than her. She sets the tone for Ben. She always knows exactly what he wants and needs and he follows her lead. It is fun to watch them interact. It's not easy being a parent sometimes, especially of a young one but no matter what, she always makes it seem easy. That's the way I see it.

Great idea, I had a webpage for us when we in Bako but it was free through our internet provider. It is a great way to keep everyone up to date, you do it once and people can check it when they want to know what's new. I'll be sure to check it out often! As for us...you get enough pics to know what we've been up to!!
I totally agree that that wife of yours doesn't give herself enough credit. Ben is lucky to have two parents who love his so much.
We can't wait to see you guys next month! I think those boys are going to have a blast!
Best of luck. My wife and I have our first on the way. We're definitely enjoying the last few months of being able to sleep how we want!
John, Ana (and Ben)
It's Donna and Bill. We are ashamed to admit we have mixed feelings about your last post - the one about Ben not sleeping. You see Sam hasn't slept through the night since he was born. (ok, maybe one night he did) Anyway, its been almost 16 months now. 16 months with no sleep. So we are not sure if we should be happy that someone else has the same problem we do; or feel badly and welcome you to the land of no sleep. We'll do some thinking and let you know. One thing for sure - you guys are the best! We miss you already and can't wait to see you again. Sometimes when you meet people you just know that you will always be friends - that's how it is with you guys.
And Ana's beautiful too...and smart--let's not forget smart--and funny. Can you tell I'm a big fan too?
You rock for giving her such recognition. I am touched.
