As many know Cassidy has decided to regress in her sleeping patterns for the past week. We started getting up two times a night instead of one beginning early last week. We assumed it was a growth spurt, but are no longer convinced. She had a very bad weekend for sleep this past weekend. We may attribute some to staying in a hotel for Andrew's wedding, but now we're home and it's not improving.
Last night on our 3rd night in a row of very little sleep (seeing almost every single hour on the clock between 10pm-6am is not something we like) we decided this is why God made babies cute. In the wee hours of last night Brian says to me as we're in Cassidy's room rocking her, "so this must be why God made babies cute so we'll still like them when they keep us up all night." We then quickly decided that perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if our next child was ugly if it meant they sleep all night :)
In the wee hours when Cassidy wakes us up screaming, but not hungry (Brian thinks it's because she just missese us) we go in and there is our super smiley baby working so hard to make her sleep deprived, frustrated parents smile back at her.
We promise we'll update pictures this week from the wedding, just as soon as we get a little sleep!

I have always said that God gave us cute babies becuase by the time they are teenagers we love them way too much to give aways!!!!! I am sure some of you have heard me say that. I can't complain about our teenagers though.
ReplyDeleteIt was soooooo nice seeing everyone. If you got a picture of our BIG group put that on here too OK? I figured there were 46 of us in that picture and 18 or 18 missing. WOW would Nana be proud. Love you
Have you tried the swaddler? That worked wonders for us...Babies R us for 9.99!! We have friends that swore by teh Happiest Baby on the Block book and CD. You may want to get that as well. Good luck. It is so hard.
ReplyDeleteYes we swaddle, in fact the only way she goes to sleep is by swaddling, I think she was adjusting back to a schedule, last night was only 2 times and both were to eat, so that's an improvement!
