Last night went better then expected. My mom was a massive help; between playing with her and then assisting me with putting her to sleep, it was amazing. She was a bit fussy as I tried to put her down for the night but once she was out, oh it was bliss. It was the first time in a while that she actually got more than two hours of straight sleep, 10:30 PM to 2:40 AM.
My mother had offered to sleep on the couch so that I wasn’t alone and we could share the nightly duties, but her dog had other plans. Yappy little thing is attached to her at the hip. That’s perfectly okay though, I had insisted she go to sleep in her own bed and be comfortable.
Valeria only woke up twice the entire night. First was at 2:40 AM – she ate a little, than wanted to “play” which meant touching my face, smiling and then flinging her arm back and forth. She ate a little more and then rolled over and passed out. She was out cold by 3:15 AM. The second time was at 6:30 AM, which was a quick little feed and rolled over back to bed.
To say I got lucky is an understatement!
She woke up close to 9 AM after that last feeding and she was happy as a clam. She had a pretty good day, lots of play time and she went down for her naps easily. It was all in all a great day with her.
Unfortunately, since my husband got home, she has been overly excited and now doesn’t want to sleep. He is currently exhausted from all the driving and being at the office, so he is in bed. I’m trying to deal with an excited five month old, who just wants to play with dad….at 11:30 at night. We had her asleep by 9….she woke up at 9:15.
Can someone please explain baby logic to me?!
I must dash and try to sleep my happy little one.
Ciao!!
