Getting better? Maybe
January 12th, 2010
Well, sleep has been a mixed bag the last two nights. Two nights ago, she slept between 3 and 4 hours at a time. Which is great. That’s as good as it can get right now. Then last night, up every 2 hours again. But now its morning and it’s already over 2 hours since her last feeding. I’m wondering if by the time she really gets into the long stretches of sleep it’s morning time. Yesterday morning she slept a lot too. So, her schedule may not be necessarily flip flopped, but it’s a little off. I think I need to wake her up in the afternoon, instead of after dinner.
Anyway, she did sleep in her crib last night too. And that helped. I slept a lot better in between feedings without hearing her every grunt and feeling claustrophobic with her pack-n-play next to me while Ella kicks me in the face.
It probably sounds like I’m not enjoying this new baby. But I am. She’s beautiful and sweet. And Ella has been too.
And I am excited about getting out of the house soon. I realized yesterday I have not left for 3 days. That is too much for me. So today, I think we’re going to either go to….. McDonalds for lunch or storytime. You can’t imagine my excitement.
And Thursday, Ella is going to the sitters. I’m going to relax, hopefully nap and have a quiet house with just the baby.

You must be exhausted. Hang in there! It won’t be long before she’s sleeping for longer periods of time. Take care of yourself, and enjoy your outing!
Oh how I feel for you during those sleepless nights and mastering a routine with a newborn. It sound like you are enjoying life as a mommy of two! You are a wondeful mother! Have fun going out into “the world” again!
