Ok, lately, our mornings have looked like this: 3 or 4:00 am, Jackson wakes me up. He's wide awake and hyper. I spend 5 min or so putting him back to sleep. Fifteen minutes later, he wakes me again. I put him back to sleep. Twenty minutes later, Veronica wakes me up. I put her back to sleep. Thirty minutes later, Jackson wakes me up... and on and on until 7 am OR I lay with them both on the couch...
Today was different! When I went to bed I was resigned to keep putting the babies back to sleep no matter how many times I had to go in there. At 3:00 am, Jackson woke me up. I went in their room, "shhhhed" him, gave him his binky, turned on the "womb bear" and patted him til he feel back to sleep. I went to bed fully expecting to have to go back soon. Maybe a half hour later I heard Veronica call out, but then did not hear her again... At 7:00 am I woke up and realized that I had only been in the babies room ONE TIME! I heard the babies stirring (not crying or fussing!) so I went in their room to get them up.
I found Jackson on his TUMMY! Hmmm.... could this be related!? He has been turning on his sides from his back for quite a while. And he's rolled from back to tummy while playing but never while sleeping... I'm wondering if that's why he slept better!? Who knows... I can't be sure of when he turned over but I'm sure happy I got to sleep through the morning without constant interruption! Yay!
I thought they were sleeping through the night from just about the beginning??? Well anyway, I'm glad you're getting some sleep because a well rested mommy is a happy mommy
ReplyDeleteThey were! But then a few weeks ago they started to wake up at 5, 4, etc... not sure why...? Hopefully that will be over soon!
