sleepless in wisconsin...

You wouldn't know it from that sweet face, but this little girl has been a real trouble maker lately. Instead of my sleeping angel, she's decided to stay up partying and "drinking" lately. Now I'd love for her to be just like her big brother in many aspects. Sleep is not one of them. I think I started having a little post-traumatic stress disorder Monday and Tuesday nights, with flashbacks to Zane's first year of life. I told Hollin that I'm pretty sure I could still return her for a refund, so she better get her snooze on. Wednesday night, when she woke up after being asleep only 45 minutes, we let her cry. For a really long time. Okay, it was actually only ten minutes, but it was a really long ten minutes! Then I went in and fed her, put her back down, and she slept for seven hours!

Please, please go back to being my predictable, all-night sleeper, sweet girl. I'm a much nicer mommy when i get my beauty rest. But even if you don't, just look at me with that cute face and I'll probably forgive you.

How's she doing now? Hopefully it was just a growth spurt. Hayes has been pretty unpredictable with sleep lately too. We have only had one 9 hour stretch of sleep. I'm starting to think that maybe I just dreamed that he slept that long. Now the longest he goes is 6 hours. Here's to hoping for more sleep!
