I wish I could figure out this sleeping thing. Last night he was awake every hour! At 11:30, I moved him into our bed because I thought that would settle him down. Didn't. The only plus was that I didn't have to physically get out of bed when he woke up. But I am TIRED!

Dumb.

I don't know what to try anymore. I just cross my fingers every night, and hope that he's going to be able to do it. I also try not to look at the sixty year old that looks back at me in the mirror. I don't recommend sleep deprivation as a beauty technique.

Dr. Sears says that "wakeful" babies are always learning, which is why they are reluctant to sleep. At this rate, our son will be ready for university by the time he is 4 years old!

. . . . . . . .

In other news, something interesting may be happening in the S-F household in the near future. We're not talking about it out loud yet, but if all goes well(?), things around here will be a-changing.

[edited: My mistake. No news here. Nothing interesting either.]

Here I sit, at 4am, while my son stands in the dark, in his crib, playing with the *%&#ing aquarium. I honestly do not know how he does it, especially as he has a cold at the moment, but he seems to be able to function on sheer minutes of sleep. UGH. I remember quite clearly now why it was that he spent the last few months sleeping in bed with me. At least then, when he was awake, we were still lying down.

Next.

I guess by now you've seen the changes to the blog. Why, you ask? When I never update anyway? Well. I was bored. So, if you like it, let me know. And if you don't it's kind of too bad as I don't think I can go back to the other one anyway.


Hmm. Music stopped. I know he's not sleeping as he so rarely does that, but maybe he's almost ready to try again.

Must go check. Wish me luck!

No update for a long time, we're too busy just loving the baby. He is SUCH a joy!! So instead of updating, I thought I'd post this email my MIL sent this morning.
