This can't be the 4 month wakeful...

because I told Henry we weren't playing those games, but he was up at 10pm, 1:30am, 3:34am, 4am, 4:15am, 4:22am, 4:56am, 5:15am, and finally up for good at 5:30am.

OMG I am so tired.

It must be the trend for them this week. We were up 11:00-1:15, 2:00-3:00, 4:15-till she played herself to sleep under the playgym while I dosed off on the couch, and she's been up for good since 7:00. She's been going like this for the past week.

::runs screaming in the other direction::  We just got over that!  Hang in there it won't last too long.

That is the worst, I hope you didn't have to go to work.

I've been visiting my parents so it's all been on me...which I know it always is for a lot of moms.  DH is coming in town tonight though and I can't wait to get some sleep.  Luckily Henry doesn't want to eat everytime he gets up!

Oh no!  I didn't know there was a 4 month wakeful period!  I just now got DS on a good sleep schedule!!

We just got through this...and luckily it only lasted a few days! I was reading in a book that babies have a big development milestone period right around 19 weeks and so the weeks leading up to it (17-18) they can be extra cranky, more wakeful, less interested in eating, need to be held constantly. So hang in there, it is probably just the next big breakthrough coming through (sitting, maybe?)

DD is 4 months today and we've been having one of those weeks too. She's been up every morning at 2:30 and staying awake until like 3:30 or 4 and then up again at 6 and staying awake until like 7 and then finally up for the day around 9. She seems to be a bit more fussy than usual, and she's also been kind of clingy with me. If I have her on the floor playing and I leave the room to go and do something quickly she whimpers and then when I come back she's fine. And when DH is holding her she's always staring at me, not really paying attention to him at all (and I feel bad!). She's never been like that before so I don't know what's going on. I did ask the Dr about it yesterday at her 4 month appt and she said this time is a big developmental period for them so they're more likely to be up more in the night and they can be more fussy and needy too. I just hope it doesn't last that long!
