Fantesstic Friday

34

Okay, so, waking up at 3:30 has become a habit for this little one. And then she'll go back to sleep with some bouncing and rocking. But it's not deep, sleeping sleep. It's squirmy, needy, dozy sleep that doesn't make good rest for her or me. So when she "wakes up" at 5 to eat, she then wants to nap for a couple hours to make up for those fitful hours. That's all well and good for her, but then the day has begun for me and I don't get those couple of hours back. The end result is, we've gone back to feeding in the middle of the night. This may not be ideal, but the hope is we'll get her at least sleeping for most of the time when people should be sleeping, awake during the daytime, and napping kind of the same time of day as Maggie. We'll see how this experiment goes. I'm also starting to put her arms inside her pajamas (a little baby straight jacket) because she's getting out of her swaddling and that may be contributing to the wakefulness. Bill points out that I'm changing two variables at once which makes for unreliable results in an experiment. I may not be a good scientist, but I won't be the walking dead so I don't care so much about the scientific method right now.

And by the way, Tessa's eyes are definitely blue. Hair color we're still unclear about. But Bill says her eyes are identical to mine. One mystery solved.
