Mondays suck

And I don't even work outside the home anymore! 

DH had to go in at 6, so he was really quiet getting ready this morning...then Mady woke up at 5:30 and I guess he figured that since she was awake it was a good time to come in and say goodbye.  Of course Mady wanted to give him hugs and didn't want him to leave.  So my attempts at getting her to sleep without nursing were doomed.  I finally did nurse her, and she nursed for 30 minutes but woke up as I was trying to put her down and screamed for at least 15 minutes, maybe more, before I gave in and tried nursing her again.  Another 30 minutes later and I was tired of nursing and was trying to get her down another way.  She was still asking for milk, so eventually I gave up and made breakfast.

I was NOT ready for a 5:30 wake up and a screaming baby who was tired but wouldn't go back to sleep.  She was pretty much crying on and off for almost 2 hours.  That makes for a grumpy mommy (not to mention a tired one too).  

The most frustrating thing is that this almost always happens if she wakes at 5:30...she may go back to sleep but will wake up 30 minutes later.  I wish there was a way to stop that!  Co sleeping just makes it worse...

I so so hope she takes a morning nap!

I hope she naps for you too. We had another bad night as well. SO sleepy and I have an appt in town 30 min away. Ugh.

Ugh!  I hear ya!  If Abby hears DH getting ready for work in the morning, it's all over and I have a very cranky baby all day long.  I wish I had some advice, but all I can offer is ((hugs))
