Sleep Begets Sleep…

is a Big FAT LIE!!!

Grrr….

I have been trying not to jinx anything but for the past week Sam has been sleeping in until 630 or 7am. But we have had to only do one nap, or no longer than 1:30 for the whole day. Which totally SUCKS for me! 🙂 Plus she is actually kinda TIRED during the afternoon so I feel bad. It didn’t matter if we moved her bedtime up or back or whatever… but if she takes longer than 1 :20/1:30 for naps during the day she was getting up earlier, like 5am. It wasn’t quite concrete but that is what seemed to be happening.

Last week was great though. We actually got some SLEEP! The first few nights I would have these awful nightmares though that she was crawling off the bed (so I was patting Justin’s legs at the bottom of the bed looking for her) or she was running around the room in the morning and I thought she fell in the bathtub.

I kept having to wake her up from her naps though and that is so sad. She would be sacked out in her crib and I have to sit and rub her back and wake her up.

Yesterday though, Justin was home since it was the weekend. I told him to go wake her up and he came back down after a minute and asked… Do I HAVE to?? She’s so cute sleeping! – Yes, yes you do. Cause guess who is always elected to get up at freaking FIVE AM?? Yea, that’s me. (Although I could kick J out of bed but I don’t cause I know the trick of watching Sesame Street on the couch and making her cuddle with me so I can sleep again and J simply doesn’t know how to do that! I still don’t have to LIKE it though and I reserve all rights to continue to complain…) So she was with Grandma yesterday in the afternoon and they went on a walk and apparently she fell asleep for 30 min! The poor Grandma’s are probably so confused as I would always beg, beg, BEG them to get her to sleep in the afternoon but when I heard that she slept, my face just fell. haha *sigh*

So this morning she gets up at 515, which I try to ignore for a few minutes but she already woke me up… Boooo

So, it’s horrible though! She’s super tired around 10am so I put her down for a nap. She’s tired around 3 but now there is no nap. I guess I need to find out if a early afternoon nap would be better but she is a basketcase in the mornings. Around 1015 she is cuddling up on her couch or laying down on the floor with her eyes at half mast. Actually, she’s doing that RIGHT NOW at 815 since she got up at 515 this morning. BOOOO

I am not a 6am person. I’m not sure if we should continue battling it out to get her on our schedule or try and follow this weird schedule she creates for herself. Makes it really hard to take a shower in the morning though. I can only do it between 7-8 cause Sesame Street is on.

Well, its the afternoon now and she totally passed out on my boob this morning from 830 to 915 and then she asked to nurse again at 150 and passed out and is still passed out an hour later so I better go WAKE HER UP! Seriously, so SAD. I think she knows when she wants to nap and she just likes to do it on my boob. *sigh* I’m thinking more and more about weaning… Soon….
