Night Four

So, after another day of reading books, blogs and websites about how to get your baby to sleep, I cam across the Johnson & Johnson website. They have an entire section on sleep and even have a 7 day sleep challenge. Of course, it included their Calming bubble bath and lotion but it says it works and I actually had both of them here, so I gave it a try.
It is a 3 step process that they say will get your baby to fall asleep and stay asleep faster and more effective then before. Step one is a bubble bath using their calming bubbles. Step two is a massage using their calming lotion and step three is quiet time before falling asleep.
Sounds pretty basic and obvious but tried it anyways.
I put the big kids to bed at 8pm then put Isabella into her bath at 8:15pm. She had her massage at 8:30pm. I nursed her and she was asleep at 8:45pm.
I was on edge all night wondering if she was going to wake up just as I was going to go to bed around 11pm so I stayed up a bit longer but by the time I had fallen asleep, she was still sleeping. I kept waking up all night waiting for her to wake up but she stayed asleep. She did end up waking up at 5:45am so I went in. I fed her and put her back down but she was still awake. I thought I would test my luck and just left her. When I left the room, I noticed that both kids lights were on in their rooms so went in to check on them. Zachary was wide awake playing so I tried to get him to go back to bed but that wasn't happening so he stayed in his room and played. Next, i had to check on Lexi and she was in her tent that Daddy made her a few days ago that she now sleeps in and she was awake too playing with her InnoTab lol I told her to turn it off and go back to sleep. I turned off the light, closed the door and stood in the hallway for a minute. I still didn't hear anything from Isabella so I did a little happy dance and went back to bed, it was 6am. I laid there waiting for her to cry and just as I was drifting off, she started to cry again. I looked at the clock and it was 6:30am. I tried to fed and rock her again but she wasn't interested so I brought her back to bed with me. She was tossing and turning but then would settled down for a few minutes so by the time I had had enough, it was time to get Zachary ready for school anyways. We got him ready and off to school at 8am and by that time, the little miss was ready to go back to sleep. She was out in under 5 minutes and since Lexi was up early and now sleeping again, I thought I would try to grab a couple of minutes of sleep since I have been up since 5;30am. The next thing I knew, Lexi was waking me up at 10am! I felt so refreshed but kinda guilty as Lexi was suppose to be at ballet at 10am lol Oops, next week ;0)
So, the sleep routine seemed to work but I think I may need to bump it back a bit as I don't want her getting into a routine of getting up at 5:30am then going back down at 8:30am every morning.
I am having issues now putting her down for an afternoon nap, so this is something I'm going to have to work on as well.
The adventures never seem to end around here...
