Tonight I bought overnight diapers. True story folks! My demons are sleeping through the night. What dimwit (why have I always thought the word was "nimwit"?) defined "sleeping through the night" anyway? Six hours seems to be the magic number...boy what a crock. I feel totally gipped! You put them down at 7:30, and if they don't wake up until 1:30 then they've slept through the night?!?! BUT my magical demons are sleeping from 7:30pm to 6:30am with minimal interruptions. There is the sporadic screaming, the moaning for their damn binkies, and the "I just want to know someone else is still alive" mumblings that go on, but for the most part, my wish has been granted and they now SLEEP!
This brings us to the need for "overnight diapers". I've been lucky so far (I mean, it has been ten days that they've slept for 11 hours straight each night) and only had wet clothes to deal with. Are overnight diapers real? Do they really hold more? Why aren't all of us parents using these overnight diapers ALL OF THE TIME?! Will my kids look like miniature sumo wrestlers when they wake up in the morning? I have no idea what to expect. Although I'm the usual optimist (that kind others want to slap), I see these diapers as being nothing more than a marketing ploy used to get us to spend double the money we spend on our daytime diapers...
They may look sweet and innocent, but they plot my demise every step of the way!
In 2012, I became a mother to two SWEET, ADORABLE, and sometimes ANNOYING baby boys, Jax and Alek. Being a SAHM is nuts; kids are crazy...and this makes their parents CRAZY. I've gone from a career oriented banker with an MBA, who liked (ok, LOVED) to drink, hang out at bars, boat, and tailgate… to a mother of twin boys, who struggles to balance the joy these two (plus husband) bring with the desire to be careless and just have a damn drink! Join me in my ramblings.
