So, a bug has hit our house and we have all been feeling like poo poo. I will admit, it could really be alot worse but I just haven't been feeling up to blogging the past few days.
Night Sixteen was superly awful. I was just starting to feel sick so all I wanted to do was sleep. So of course, Isabella decided not too. It seems like whatever I want her to do, she does the opposite! Maybe I should start using reverse psychology and tell her to stay up with me... maybe then she would sleep!
But this night, she decided it would be a good idea to fall asleep at 9pm only to wake up at midnight and stay up until 5am. Let's just say, I was not the happiest mommy on the block that morning. She would fall asleep every once and awhile but would only stay asleep for 20 minutes at a time. I think she was coming down with a cold as well so I can't really blame her or be mad at her..... plus, she is too stinking cute to be mad at, but that was a rough rough night.
Tuesday morning is when I totally got sick and had a miserable day. Luckily, Bells was so exhausted for her all night marathon that she had 3 great naps that day. She had gone down for her last nap at 7pm thinking she would wake up around 8pm but she slept till 10pm... just as I was going to bed thinking maybe, just maybe she would sleep. I put her back down at 11pm as I could not keep my eyes open for another minute and she woke up at 2:30am. I tried our regular nightly routine that I have been doing constantly to get her back down but I think between teething and getting a cold, she was so cranky, I put her in the swing and she fell back asleep. We were all in dreamland until Zachary came in at 6am ready for the day.
Then again yesterday, she had 3 good naps and went down around 9pm. It took 4 attempts to get her to sleep but once she fell asleep about 10pm, she slept until 4:30am. I was able to get her back to sleep with no issues and she slept till 8 this morning.
When Don asked how she slept last night and I told him, he seemed optimistic that she is getting in the groove of things.... which I replied, you just jinx me lol
We will see how she continues to do but just waiting for the day she starts to sleep.... I know it will come one day but hoping this isn't one trait that she learns from Lexi as she didn't sleep through the night until this past summer (that is over 4 years!) There isn't enough make up in the world that will be able to help me if it comes to that!
