Ugh.
Punk would NOT sleep last night.
No, scratch that, she slept FANTASTICALLY in the early part of the night, drifting seamlessly into sleep at 6:30pm and sleeping like a rock with no necessary resettlings, and then woke up at 11:15 to eat. I fed her, she had a bit of a rough time getting settled back down but was back in bed a few minutes before midnight and I thought all was well. Lately she's needed some resettling around 3 or 4am, so I figured Jen could cover that and I went to bed.
Punk woke up randomly at 12:30am and was Up. Like "ready to play" up. She was talking, moving everywhere (in her swaddle), etc. I had her in the rocker forEVER until she fell asleep, put her in the crib - she woke up. Picked her back up, back in the rocker for longer, put her back in - she woke up. Ad nauseum.
After an hour, I told Jen she had to try because I hadn't gotten to sleep yet and it was 1:30am. So she went but Punk has sort of decided I am her Best Sleep Friend right now and she just kept whining and straining and crying, so I went back out there. She fell asleep in my arms in the rocker. It was a repeat of the previous hour: put her in the crib - wake up. I tried to leave and she just started flailing all over the place, so I picked her up again. I tried to bring her into bed with me, but she just turned that into Party Time.
By now it is somewhere near 2:30 and I am ready to shoot myself. I recruit Jen to try again and I shut off the monitor and have her shut the door. I put the pillow and blanket over my head. But I can still hear the screaming. The screaming. The screaming. I go back and get her again, she sleeps in my arms some more, and finally I tell Jen to get her 2oz of milk. (No, she wasn't hungry, but umm, whatever.)
She fell asleep at 3:30 and Jen came back to bed and promptly fell asleep. I think I fell asleep around 4.
Punk woke up at 5, whining. I went in, rocked, got her back into the crib around 5:40. She woke up at 6:15 when Jen's alarm went off.
She has been a miserable, overtired mess ever since.
ME TOO.

I hope that somehow the Universe takes pity on us and we both end up with sleeping children tonight. Heck, I'd much rather she have her frequent wake-ups BEFORE 12 and then sleep like a champ after. You'd think I could just REASON with her! ;)
p.s. I am busting into town on Friday, pretty much to have lunch with work peeps and get them off my back about how I don't take the baby to them, but I would love to see you after for a little bit if you think you might be around. It would probably be a drive-by but I miss you!!!
