Remember when I used to brag about you being an amazing sleeper? Well, the sleep has been less than amazing as of late. It has been one full week of long nights. You started out just waking at 11 and 4. You would nurse and go right back to sleep. And then those wakings became much more frequent. And then there was Sunday night – oh my!
I am 95% convinced that you would sleep through the night if you were snuggled up to me all night. You are a cuddler and are sound asleep in my arms in the rocking chair (or while I am doing the “bounce and walk”), but the second (or within 20 minutes) of being laid in your crib, you are awake. You often find yourself waking up in Daddy’s and my bed in the morning after one of us decide that 4 AM is too close to the 5 AM alarm and we just need to sleep for one more hour.
I know there have been some changes lately. Mommy isn’t around to play and snuggle with you all day long so maybe you just miss me, right? Believe me, I miss you too sweet girl. So much. We will get your new schedule all figured out and everyone will get a better night’s sleep. In the meantime, I will continue to tell myself that “this too shall pass” and continue to wonder if coffee drinking is in my near future.
We love you to the moon and back again (at all hours)!
