So I have been having a hard time keeping up with my blog. Not too much is going on right now. We are trying to stay cool in the 100+degree weather. Yuck! I like summer, but not his type of summer. Cole is feeling better, but still sleeping horribly:( I think this is the most tired I have ever been in my entire life. I think I have a 5 day stretch in the past 6 weeks that I got more that a 2 hour stretch of sleep. Other than that it's up every 1-2 hours. I am in the middle of reading the "No Cry Sleep Solution." I have gotten into the habit of rocking Cole to sleep, so that's a monster I've created. I just want to get a few good nights sleep to be somewhat rejuvenated to try and put him down drowsy.
We also got hooked on the binki when he was sick:( He never needed it to sleep, but now this is a big reason he wakes up so often so I can pop it in his mouth. I have finally made a bed on his floor of his and when he starts fussing before I know he needs a bottle, I pop the binki in (which we usual fight over. I put it in, and in his sleep he pulls it out then cries) I sleep in there until his next feeding, then go back to bed for an hour or 2 then start it all over again. So needless to say I am one exhausted mama!!
I'm a little nervous because I start with a 9 week old on Monday. I'm excited Cole will have a little girlfriend to grow up with, but I will miss "our" time during the day. BUT, we got to pay the bills and it allows me to stay home with my boy. So I will probably be MIA some more till I get adjusted to the new schedule. I will have her M-F 8am-5:30pm. Now that's going to be a long day. I got to finally see her last week and she is a doll. So wish me luck and sanity as I am sure I'm about to loose it:)
Glad to see you back! =)
ReplyDeleteElla has been having a rough sleeping pattern also but you can now see her two top teeth getting ready to pop through. Any swollen gums on Cole's part that would be making him miserable, or this might just be his 4 month wakeful?
