Except for about 80 minutes this afternoon, Zoe has been going strong ALL DAY LONG. She just now went to sleep. I’m not sure whether to blame teething or maternal anxiety or the utter chaos that is our life. All I know is that this child needs – we ALL need – a routine. Despite my best attempts to create one, there is none, mostly because I am being fought every step of the way. It is unpleasant.
UPDATE: Zoe slept 2 hours in her crib, woke up to a full stand, and went back to sleep only when nursed. She spent the rest of the night in our bed flopping around like a dying carp. She is now uninvited from the family bed, and I am near psychotic from 13 months of bad or no sleep.
When we have those days, I just figure it is a glimpse of what is to come when they give up naps all together! I’m NOT looking forward to that!!
At least you and I have had these catnappers and the transition will be a little easier. What if we were used to rest or relaxation or getting things done? HA.
Okay, I literally laughed out loud about the dying carp comment. I “wish” Jack would sleep some in our bed. He will have nothing of it!!
