MOTN S-S

How's everyone doing? We just finished wakeup 1. I can't get him to go to bed before 10 or 10:30 pm, though. Like if we put him to bed at 7:30 or 8, he either stays wide awake no matter how long he is left in his RNP or crib, or he treats it as a 40-minute nap and then goes to bed at 10:30.

Hopefully when it's time to go back to work, daycare wears him out and he goes to bed closer to 8.

I am starting to get really sad about how much I'll miss him when I'm back at work. I really wish companies had more PT options.

Ds1 was up twice and Ds2 was up thrice. I have no idea what got into them but it was quite clear, given their timing, that one was waking the other.

L slept 7-3:45, I went in and nursed him and he went back to sleep until 5:30. Is it sad that this is one of the better nights we've had lately? Yesterday he was wide awake for the day at 4:08! I started reading Ferber about circadian rhythms and sleep cycles last night. I need to figure out how to get rid of these crazy early morning wake ups.

Last night was ok-ish. We stayed at my H's family beach house to enjoy the nice weather today. Wow we had to haul a lot of shit for one tiny baby! She wasn't terrible but the bed wasn't very comfortable so I didn't sleep great on top of wakeups. Still looking forward to today though. There's a beach bar here that has these watermelon margaritas that I craved my whole pregnancy and I'm finally going to have one today!!

I knew DD would make me pay for a great night of sleep on Friday. I stayed up late (10:30pm) because H was being whiny about us never getting any couple time. Then the baby was up for close to two hours in the night and up for the day at 5:20 and then bit me during nursing, again. Of course, H is snoozing peacefully. I gave B all the loud, musical toys to play with.

We all went to bed really late, but DS seems to be sticking to his standard wake up routine. Good, I guess. I'm very ready for him to start sleeping longer stretches. He's pretty much every 3 hours without fail.

I'm pretty sure H is not changing him after wake up 1, nor is he rinsing out, or at least refrigerating, the bottle he uses. I'm so annoyed.

E is almost bacl asleep after wakeup #1. I'm hoping we don't repeat last night where she was so gassy and uncomfortable she woke up at 5:30. I think she may be the gassiest baby ever!

My DH is also whining about couple time. I get it, I really do. We are both busy and haven't slept in the same bed for 4 months now. I know that needs to change but our routine works. And I need sleep. And we both get it this way.

I plan on trying the RNP in our room tomorrow. Here are my predictions. #1 she will likely stir easier since our box spring is SO noisy. Just rolling over is loud let alone getting up for anything. And #2 because she stirs more she will sleep louder. And DH will snore. And neither of them will sync with the other. And then I'll be in my own personal hell, tired, and not be able to sleep.

Can't wait!

I got a solid 2-hour and 3-hour stretch of sleep. B did cluster feed from 4pm to 10pm but I'll take it if it helps him sleep in longer increments.

I am real missing sleeping in the bed with DH though. I sleep in the baby's room (we have a queen in there) because it's convenient while he's waking so often. But it's kind of lonely. That and the baby blues is making night times kind of sad for me.

m gave me a 41/2 hour stretch! I feel so much better. Huge difference this week from the every hour wake ups last week
