Sleep. Or lack of sleep.

Do you know what happens when you post about good sleeps? Karma thinks you're bragging and smacks you down a notch or 5. For the record, I was NOT bragging...I was simply describing what life (including sleep) is like around here.

Last night started with a failed nap in the evening so bedtime started early.
730 - 8 bath, boobs, book
8 - completely out in her crib
845 - insane screaming
9 - 915 more boobs
915 - 1030 lots of failed attempts at sleeping
1030 - 130 sleep
130 - 230 numerous failed attempts with the soother
230 - 245 boobs
3 - 430 whining/silence/screaming/silence/fussing/silence/repeat/repeat
5 - I give up on any possibility of salvaging the night with some sleep and go camp out in her room and "sleep" with her in the chair
5-7 Presley sleeps while I strain/stretch/hurt every muscle in my neck/arms/back trying to sleep while not moving or waking her up
7 - insane screaming
715 - hit the wall repeatedly in frustration (with my hand, not with the baby...success!)
730-830 sleeps in crib

Please let me get some sleep tonight!

Oh that is horrible! I HATE nights like that (and then always worry they will be like that forever). Maybe she is getting sick? Or a growth spurt? Take a nap today!!

Hang in there! Hoping you get better sleep tonight! My stuffy-nosed toddler would only take a nap ON me today. . .so I feel a tiny bit of your pain.

Ew, sounds disgusting. And perhaps a little too familiar. I feel like we had a night like that at almost exactly 2 months too.

Sounds like you may be going through a Wonderweek! It'll get better. Hang in there!
