As I sit here...

As I sit here at 4:23am...been awake since 3:45am...thanks to no one else but...yep, you guessed it...Natalie, I keep wondering...how the heck am I going to do this with 2 babies?!  Hopefully, baby #2 will be a good sleeper for the first 6-8 months like Natalie WAS! So, maybe that will give Natalie the time she needs to STOP getting up every 2-3 hours at night and start actually SLEEPING!  At first I felt bad for her because she was just getting over being sick, but that feeling has now left and I feel more annoyed!

Tonight she went to bed around 8/8:30p, got up at 10p and drank a bottle. Got up at 1:15am and drank a bottle. Got up at 3:45a and did not want a bottle or need changed, just wanted to play and would get made if I left the room. So, by 4:00am I just sat in the office (next to her room) and browsed Pinterest until 4:25a when she finally was sleeping (I hope). I'm afraid to go into the room to check on her because usually when I do she is laying down being quite and then as soon as she hears you...up pops her head and a little "hi" comes out of her mouth...such the stinker.

I thought also being on the computer I could find ways to get her to sleep through the night again, but didn't really come up with anything. She used to sleep SO good...I can't handle this sleep-deprive thing. And, where do you think Bobby (and Rusty) are?!  Of course, ASLEEP!!!! Even though, the baby monitor is right next to Bobby's head...seriously, you can't hear our crying/screaming child?!  I find that hard to believe...I'm going to say Bobby has really good "selective hearing!"

4:31am: She's crying again (more like an annoying whimpering)...ugh!

Update: Up again at 5:45am and 7:45am. I made Bobby get up with her at 5:45 and I brought her into our bed at 7:45, and of course she just wanted to play. So, Bobby put some toys in her crib and put her back in it, but that only lasted until 8:30am. Now we (Natalie and I) are awake for the day, I hope she has some good naps in her future because she is going to be a grump!  Guess who is still sleeping?!  Yep...you guessed right!

I don't know what caused her "unsleepiness" but it seems like she is getting/has a cold since she is sneezy and the return of the runny nose...yay! She also had her last dose of her flu shot as well yesterday, so who knows. But let's hope tonight is better!
