Over the past two weeks Isabella has been teasing me. She would fall asleep and sleep a good 5-6 (even once a seven!) hour stretch, wake up for about an hour and then sleep for another 3 hours or so. I was so excited. "This is it", I foolishly thought to myself, "she is creeping her way toward sleeping through the night like those magical babies I hear about!" Sure she had an off night here or there, but never two nights in a row.
Silly, silly me.
I am now typing bleary eyed as we have now suffered through not one, not two, but three disruptive nights of sleep. We have had a 3-4ish hour stretch followed by 1-2 hour stretches:(. No rhyme, no reason, just cause I guess.
J.T. is going to put her to bed tonight so I can try to go to bed at 7 and hopefully get at least 5-6 hours in a stretch.
With the decrease in sleep I am feeling an increase in my anxiety level which makes it impossible to nap during the day and more challenging to fall asleep at night even though I am beyond tired.
Such cruel irony!
