Cleared!! And better sleep now!

We heard last Thursday that they boys do not have VLCAD! They have a gene that looks "funny" but they're carriers at worst. We have them sleeping in my office with the monitor since then. We're finding they generally go down in the 6:00 hour, wake in the 10:00 hour, again in the 2:00 hour and again in the 4:00 hour. This is not convenient because Andrew has been waking up at 5:00 sharp for the last couple of weeks since the Daylight Savings change.

Last night we tried something new: Bath Time! The twins were bathed in the 7:00 hour before they went to sleep, but didn't really shut down until about 8:30... and slept until 1:00!!! They went back down and woke up again at 4:00 ish. This is very good news. Cutting out one of the feedings is a REALLY big deal. This would have worked out well for us but that Andrew got a cold last night (of course, right?) and woke up crying at 11:30 and again at 2:30. Poor little guy... hope he gets better soon, but in all likelyhood this bug will cycle all the way through the family...
