So much Fail on my part

sgrl

My daughter STTN for so long - since 6.5 weeks - that I started taking it for granted. In the last week, she's woken up a few times, and I keep telling myself that I need to go to bed when she does, rather than fooling around online and cleaning the kitchen and what-not. But I never do.

So I was up until 2 am. Right around the time I decided to go to bed finally, she broke one arm out of the swaddle. I thought I'd just leave it out and see how she did. Mistake. She woke herself up multiple times. At one point I was hanging off the edge of the bed with my arm in the PNP so she could hold my finger with her little hand, hoping we could both maybe sleep like this. Hah. So finally I reswaddled her, BFed her, and laid her back down. At which point she went to sleep, but she kept doing this thing where she would lift her legs up as high as she could, and then slam them down into the bed. In. Her. Sleep. Of course she woke me up every time she did this.

So when my alarm went off at 6:45, I didn't hear it because I forgot to turn the phone on - it was on vibrate. Woke up at 7:15. Then I fell asleep while nursing her and ended up being 15 minutes late to work.

I'm AWESOME.
