So, sleep. I need sleep. Someone help me, please, seriously, give me some feedback people. I know there are a few people other than my mom, dad, and sisters reading this (and usually I call them, say I made a post and then they call me and talk to me about it? Weird Internet. And yet easier then sending photos and who can make it to the post office anyways? Blarblarblar, I ramble)
My baby who slept through the night for the first three months of life is now awake all night. All night as in she sleeps for two hours between 7:30 and 9:30 and then gets up every hour until oh, about 5 at which point my son screams "Hungry, I am HUNGRY!" from his room and my head explodes and then Piers takes over so I can sleep for an hour and a half until he has to leave for work. And that hour and a half??? IT IS NOT ENOUGH. And she has maybe ONE DECENT NAP during the day and she walks and dances and is happy and very pleased with herself because she has made it through yet another 24 hours on five hours of sleep and sheer will power (and lentils, she lurves the lentils). And she is only ten months! She is lovely and happy during the day, busy (walking at 10 months! Crazy kids I have!), what the hell is up? Why is she not tired? Do some babies just need less sleep?
I know the crying it out thing is going to get mentioned, and I have to say it just doesn't work for us. Can't do it. I rock her and I breastfeed her (a lot) at night. I am screwed. Totally screwed, right? help me. Any advice, any hope? I need the hope. I don't mind the feeding at night if it would put her to sleep, but it doesn't. She won't even sleep consistently in our bed (and she is in our room tucked up next to our bed anywho).
So there you go. Other than that, preschool starts up again soon (meet your Scholastic Book coordinator, thankyouverymuch, sweetest co-op preschool job eva') yay. Also, Jack may be getting sick because he sounds like he is hacking up a lung in his room and it is raining. The end? Oh no, 9:09 and my night is just starting...
p.s.
Sylvia's all like, "Hey Sylvia! What's up?":
