Dec. 4th, 2007 01:08 pmUgh, the sleep saga continues.
Last night, Punk took a nap around 4:30pm. A nap! An actual nap in the crib! Of her own free will! She woke up around 5:10pm and was groggy but hey, a nap! She was sleepy sleepy so we started getting ready for bed, and then I guess she caught her second wind because she did NOT want to go to sleep. I had to rock her for a ridiculously long time (nearly an hour, in two installments) to get her to go to sleep. And then she needed to be settled a couple of times.
She woke up at 10pm, crying crying crying. No amount of settling would do anything except holding her, and she would pop up when you put her down. So I took her to bed with me, and she fell asleep instantly and stayed asleep until 2am. I didn't really sleep, because she's super restless and I was in this weird position and yeah, cosleeping is not glamorous at my house.
At 2am I was ready to thank the Lord because she was going to get a bottle and then go to bed in the crib! I passed the baby to Jen and got all cozy imagining the luxurious sleep I would get for about 4 hours. About 40 minutes later, Jen came back and said she couldn't get the baby to sleep in the crib, that she would wake up as soon as she put her down. I told her I didn't want to take the baby back into bed with me because I couldn't sleep. She told me then that I would have to go try to get the baby in the crib instead. I knew getting up would be bad on sleep, so I took the baby back into bed with me and she slept blissfully until Jen's alarm went off around 6:30.
I, however, did not sleep.
And did I mention that I am getting a cold and have a scratchy throat thing going on?
And I didn't sleep?
And I have to go get a pap/annual this afternoon?
The hits just keep on coming.

I won't even bother typing out the disaster that was the noontime nap fiasco, the soup that boiled over everywhere, the baby who kept waking up, and the opportunistic cats.
