A month ago Carys was an angel baby. She still slept in the car and was also sleeping 9-10 hours at night. The last two weeks she has been a totally different baby. She hardly naps in the day, takes forever going to bed in the evening and is waking up many times a night. I'm also exhausted by her constant desire to nurse. So, thinking I was smart, I decided to work very hard yesterday at getting her some naps at home. I was successful...she took three naps (none over 40 minutes). I was thrilled! I thought I had figured out her issue...she was overly tired. NOT! Instead of going to bed well last night and sleeping for 10 hours, she fought the bedtime and woke up about 5 times. I give up! Why do I even try to figure these things out? Haven't I learned that by now? Maybe these issues are related to her tooth coming in at 4 months. Could be, but I give up trying to analyze it.

So sorry you're going through sleep troubles! We are still trying to get things straight here. Maybe I shouldn't tell you that! I hope you get some rest. I try to remember that this will pass soon.
That was actually me, Christina, somehow using Mike's account. Just to clarify!
Why is it that just when you think you've figured things out, the kids throw you for a loop? The element of complete surprise makes parenting the most stressful job in the world, but also the most joyful.
Does it help if remember that this is the LAST ONE? You have really been a trooper, chica, and I'm sorry you are not getting sleep! This is not necessarily Biblical, but I was thinking the other day that heaven might be a place where everyone gets a good night's sleep!
I feel for you! Just remember that this too shall pass.
