Why can't I sleep?

Ananke

DS went to bed a bit later than usual, and our routine ended up different, but he's going on a pretty good stretch right now, and I still can't bring myself to go to bed.  I don't know why either - I'm so tired, but even if I go lay in bed, I'll just lay there.

On a good note though - DS played in his crib a lot before bed, and now he's sleeping better.  I might have to make that part of our nightly routine.

If Mac is awake after his last bottle, he gets to do tummy time. Always makes for good sleep.

Sounds like you got your second wind. Maybe you should try some exercise, too. Or a warm bath?

Um, at least it's not almost 2 AM for you. I blame it on my antidepressant but I didn't take it for 2 days and I still couldn't sleep so I think I'm just stuck not sleeping. I am so glad to SAH.

I'm glad he is sleeping for a bit right now, that's great. I know it sucks not to be able to sleep when they do. Jos and I get our best sleep in the AM after H leaves for work and we sleep in. I've been slowly creeping her bedtime later and later so I can lengthen that stretch. I should probably stop because we'll get to the point where we're not up until noon sooner or later.

The crib part is awesome! Maybe he just needed to get comfortable in there. Did you end up ordering a sound machine?

How about you make a blog post so I can be entertained?

Your wish is my command.  No promises that it'll be posted tonight though.

ETA - I finished it.  It's not as polished as I'd like, but I think I'm going to attempt to sleep!  Wish me luck.  I hope you get some sleep too soon!

Thanks, I think after I read your post I will. I finally updated my blog too but it's unfit for public consumption.
