Not only did Ben wake up every two hours, for the first time since birth he wanted to STAY up all night long. No thank you baby sir.
When he woke up at 11 pm, I nursed him, put him back in the crib and he fussed. I popped his paci in his mouth and he quieted down and went back to sleep.
When he woke up at 1 am, I nursed him, put him back in the crib and he fussed. I popped his paci in his mouth and he spit it out and screamed at me. I picked him back up, snuggled him for awhile and he went back to sleep.
When he woke up at 3 am, I nursed him, put him back in the crib and he fussed. I popped his paci in his mouth and he spit it out and screamed at me. I picked him back up, snuggled him for awhile but he wouldn't fall asleep. Then I got a bloody nose. So I put him down and ran to get a tissue. Then he cried while I bled on a tissue. Then I laid down in my bed with him and he fell asleep. I put him back in the crib and he woke up. He didn't cry though, he just cooed and oohed to himself for about a half hour. Then he fell asleep.
When he woke up at 5 am, I cursed him, then I nursed him. Then I snuggled with him in my bed until he fell asleep. I put him back in the crib, he fussed, he cooed and oohed. He screamed a little bit. He finally fell asleep. This is when Bob jumped up, looked at the alarm clock, glared and me and Ben and slammed his head back onto the pillow...all while still half-asleep. He pulled a pillow over his head and
When I woke up at 7 am I was bleary eyed and exhausted. I woke up to the house phone ringing. I was in the middle of a crazy ass dream that combined all the horrible school nightmares (nudity, not ready for a test, can't find my locker) with all the regular nightmares (getting chased by criminals, living in a WalMart, etc.) I was partially glad to wake up from that, but partially like, seriously? Who is calling me at 7 am????!!?
It turned out to be someone offering Bob a side job, so I can't be TOO mad. But still. 7 am? That's way freaking early.
The baby slept until 7:30 am, which means I got to take a shower this morning! Yay!
Naturally, I have turned to coffee to help me get through the day...If I could INJECT coffee right into my veins I would. It's just gonna be one of THOSE days.
I'm hoping this performance of Ben's is a one-night only engagement. I can't do a night like last night ever again.
Ever ever.
Did you read that baby? Never ever!!

Weird...we had a bad night sleep last night too. Brendan was up EARLY (close to 5am) and despite coming in our bed never went back to actual sleep. Here's hoping for a better night tonight!!
It was another stinker for us. Sigh.
When I went to bed last night, Dylan was asleep, Elizabeth was asleep, Ben was asleep.
Only Bob and I were sleeping in our bed.
When Dylan decided to wake up at 6 am, Bob and I were still both in our bed, as were Benjamin, Dylan AND Elizabeth. The only one missing was Louie the Cat.
Sigh. Double sigh.
