This week feels like it has gone on forever... and just when things were going so nicely. I felt like I was finally breathing (and sleeping) again only to have everything go haywire! I know things could be worse and this really isn't such a big deal. But here is my little vent. Caleb was FINALLY doing so great in the sleep department. Putting himself down like a champ. Finally napping well again. Only waking up once in the night, and really just getting in the groove of things. I was feeling so happy about this. Considering all the trips we've been going on he was doing so fantabulous. Anyways. We were feeling like we were walking on air because we finally got a full night's sleep for the first time ever since Caleb had been born.
And then...so sad...sigh. Who knows what happened. We are now back to waking up twice a night, poor guy isn't soothing himself back to sleep, fussy, tired. All we can think of is another major milestone must be happening...or some more teeth. So I guess I just forgot that as soon as we get into a nice rhythm with one thing, something else comes along to throw us all for a gigantic Topsy curvy turn. All I can really say is: as exhausted and emotionally and physically depleted as I feel, I just keep reminding myself of my mom's favorite motto "this too shall pass" I happen to hate the motto. But I can't deny how true it is. Sometimes I don't know who to feel more sorry for. Us. Or Caleb. Poor guy.
But at least you're cute Caleb.
I'll say an amen to all of that! Just when Karly was sleeping SO well, I mentioned it to someone .. and ever since she has not gone more than 3 or 4 hours without waking, and plus, her older sister keeps crawling into our bed (on my side no less) a few times this week.
