10-4-10

Not quite as lucky last night.  Glad I haven’t started advertising her sleeping through the night yet…

2:30 woke up.  Joe went in to console her.  She was really yelling off and on and nothing he did seemed to make her feel better- even tried to change diaper. 

3:00 I got up and rocked her and sang As the Deer to remind her that it was bedtime.  Finally fell asleep in my arms around 3:20.  I put her in the crib at 3:30.  She of course woke up, I sang one more verse to her and walked away L She CIO-ed for 30 minutes, was finally back asleep by 4.

6:30 she was still asleep and of course I was exhausted so I had not gotten her up at 6 as I am supposed to.  I was debating whether or not to get her then or be bad… she answered that for me- woke up.   I fed her and tried to keep her awake for a little while to play.  Put her back down right around 7:10.  CIO for about 5-10 minutes, I think (its all running together)

9:05 woke to eat, played well for a little while.  I dressed her in pink cordouroy overalls- she looked like such a BIG GIRL all day long!!! I can’t handle it! 10:12 put her down CIO for ten minutes.  But, didn’t sleep all the way through this nap.  Woke around 11:05.  I was in shower, Joe tried to let her CIO, then tried to console- finally put her in swing.  She stared off into space (typical) for a while.  Finally fell asleep but only for a short time, woke back up.

11:45 feeding, wake time. 1:00 put her down and she CIO for only a few minutes. Woke a few times, but went back to sleep

3:00 wimpered, but I went ahead and got her up since it was time to eat. She slept while feeding- a no no, but I was talking to Ashley planning for cheer, so I let her. Then, stayed awake and content for a while at home.  At 4:00, we headed down to cheerleading.  She was happy in stroller, then I picked her up around 4:15.  Joe came and got her from me around 4:30. He walked her for a few minutes and she stayed awake, then he came home and rocked for a VERY short amount of time and she fell asleep.  He laid her down, and she stayed asleep!

5:40 woke up MAD.  We tried to prolong the feeding, but as soon as the bottle was warm, Joe fed her a bottle whle I went back down to run with the cheerleaders.  Ate and then fell asleep on his chest at about 6:45.  Stayed asleep that way on him or me until the next feeding, even thought that one should just be a cat nap.  Must have been tired.

8:15 woke up ready to eat.  I had planned to feed her at 8:30, but since she ate before 6, I figured she could eat before 8:30… might as well bump it all back.  Again she was falling asleep while eating… recurring theme today…  bath for play, then bedtime routine.  CIO for one minute, stop, one minute, stop for ten minutes.  Then, out.

Praying that she doesn’t get in the habit of waking at 2:30!  If it happens tonight or really the rest of this week- we will likely console like last night.  I don’t think I’ll have the heart to make her CIO in the MOTN knowing that I am also going back to work Wednesday. L
