Sleep

If I hear one more mattress commercial that claims you can "sleep like a baby" I might punch something. My darling baby boy is usually an "alright" sleeper, we still haven't managed to make it through the night, but 4-5 hours is usually doable.
Then we have nights like last night. I had Finally fallen asleep at around midnight, after feeding Dean so hopefully he would just sleep. So far, so good. Then at about 1:15 he wakes up crying, and crying, and crying. So he and I got up, we sat in the living room, I changed his diaper, we sat in the living room & watched TV. Each time I'd try to go back to bed the screaming started again. Finally around 3 we managed to go back to bed.
Now, fast forward to 11am and baby boy is fast asleep on my lap, dh (who got a great night's sleep) just left for fishing, and I am once again exhausted & awake. I thought it was supposed to get better!!

  2. I tried that, tried getting up with him, gave him teething drops. It was just a rough night!
