Holy shit man. She’s trying to climb me in her sleep. All day today she’d be almost fully asleep and suddenly she’d twitch and either throw herself onto her back (and cry because she hates sleeping on her back) or grab a fistful of my shirt and haul herself up onto me, flop her head down (because SHE WAS ASLEEP), then pull up further. I’d lay her down, she’d cry, I’d get her back to sleep. Repeat. The only way I am able to get her to sleep right now is by holding her tightly to prevent her from moving until she finally she drops fully asleep. Then I have to extricate myself and escape somehow without making a sound, because if she so much as twitches she does it all over again. I feel like I’m wasting half my day in there just trying to get her to stay asleep. And I’m the only one who can do it – Den can sometimes get her to fall asleep, but he can’t get her to sleep in her bed.<\/p>\n
On top of that today she was awake again in only half an hour. The third nap I finally went in and held her tight so she’d fall back asleep get a good nap in (which she NEEDED, she was whiny whiny), which meant I fell asleep too – which does NOT help me at all, I end up with insomnia at night. I’m tired. I’m cranky. I know this stage will pass once this whole pulling up and moving thing isn’t quite so interesting, but man. This is exhausting.<\/p>\n
And we definitely can’t cut out the evening nap yet. She gets so freakin’ cranky. And then today again at 9pm she was wicked tired… but only stayed asleep for half an hour, then maybe another half an hour. Then she was just fidgety and I knew even if I did get her back to sleep that it would be up again in less than an hour. I hate the fidgety.<\/p>\n
This is just a stage. This is just a stage. This is just a stage. Maybe if I say that enough my head will stop hurting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
