Sleeping

Well, two times was the limit of the ‘lay down and go to sleep’ theme. 🙂 Oh well. And swaddling is just NOT working out. He is freaking out before bed with his arms down so I’ve been not swaddling. Last night (with no one home) he slept until 3am, then 545, and then in bed with me until 730. The past nights before that, as I mentioned, he kept getting up at 12 or 1230. But I think *J* was going to bed around that time so it makes me wonder… if he sleeps to 3 tonight… and then when J gets home, he wakes up at 12… J is SO getting up with him. LOL – Or going to sleep at a hotel. hahaha

So tonight was fun. No swaddle. And yes, I let him CIO to go to bed. Worked pretty quickly. And I do it so much better by myself too. I can’t do it when other people are in the house. Other people make noise. And then I feel bad. But it was done tonight. So I’m hoping tomorrow it goes much better. Sam really ruined us for sleep so I’m being a hardass now, I guess. But getting to the routine of books, singing, and then put you down, smile and say good night and walk out of the room is sooooo nice… I need that to be HERE and NOW as quick as can be. Walking and bouncing in circles for 30min gets me dizy, sick and irritable.

I don’t know what I will do at 3am though. Or whenever he wakes up. Since he keeps sqealing in his sleep at 10pm right now… ugh. He likes to be all snugglysnug when he nurses. In fact, in the mornings when he nurses down for his nap, I catch his foot in the crook of my arm and hug it close so his foot is all cozy next to me and a blanket is wrapped around him.

Since having any sort of blanket material next to him has proven to be a HUGE no-no (time and time and TIME again – yes, even tonight, I am dumb, I will continue to say that – i don’t even want to talk about my stupidity anymore – other than the fact that if he can drag any sort of small material over his mouth and nose why in the HECK can’t he push it off too??) I’m not sure what to do. I can swaddle him up when he gets up tonight and THEN nurse him until he is back asleep. Or I can just not do it. And see what happens. But if I don’t and he nurses and is still awake, that will suck too.

I really hate 3am though. 5am is worse. 5am is to close to morning. But Sam is not coming home until 11am so hmm… I do have potential napping time.

But I did tell myself that I would do bills and dishes tomorrow morning since I am not doing them right now. LOL – The mail has ever so nicely piled up… oops.
