Four Month Wakeful

katigox · February 2013

Hi ladies, long time no see

I know I've been terrible about keeping up with the Bump, but literally, a month ago, DS went through a three month growth spurt, then we transitioned to a crib (from a bassinet) for exactly five days of STTN, before he had his first cold that lasted TEN days We've been trying to get back to a routine/schedule ever since, but he no longer is STTN . . . and now is fighting naps, and is VERY clingy. Dear googily-goo if I don't keep eye contact with that boy continuously he *wails* lol.

I know the time will pass too quickly, and before I know it, he'll wail at the thought of being too close to me (welcome adolescence). So I'm being careful not to fret too much about it now. But I will admit, it has been getting worse, and literally yesterday, I had two and a half hours of (broken sleep), in a twenty four period (I'm not even kidding). He's still falling asleep at six, so that's good, and so far, so good (it's 7:40 PM here), but this is the longest stretch he's had in *days*.

I guess this is more of a vent than anything else, but really I just wanted to say that I'm thinking of all you PAL's - missing you, and seeing those cute babies every week during BPF's. I'm definitely thinking of you all, and am excited to catch up to everyone (eventually)!

Wish me luck that tonight goes better! And if not, that I'll get some sleep when DH comes home from his night shift ;P

Really hope he starts letting you sleep more!

I am sorry you are having a rough time. Just be consistent with the routine you had been using before he got sick. This will all pass. I chuckled at your comment about wanting space. My 3 year old still climbs all over us when we just want some peace and quiet on the couch!
