Despite the fact that Cohen woke up 3 times in the night, yesterday was a great day, maybe due to my 4.5 hour break that my sweet friend Katie gave me. Katie is a genetic counselor and doesn't have kids of her own...yet, so why she'd want to come hang out with Mr. Fussems is beyond me, but she did (maybe she's trying to figure out if he has some genetic anomaly that make him both super cute yet super fussy).
And wouldn't you know he was perfectly behaved. And went down super easy for his nap. Yay Cohen!! Yay Katie!!!
Today has been great too. We put him down at 8:00 last night, he nursed at 4:00 a.m. and then slept until 7:15 this morning. I feel GREAT after getting a combined total of 8 hours of sleep!!! Went to my mothers meeting, then took some new pants to get shortened by my favourite Korean couple, then came home and the little sucker had fallen asleep in his carseat and is snoozing in his crib. I actually was able to eat lunch and go to the bathroom. What a big day.
Fingers crossed that the good vibes continue all day.
Thanks for all of the encouraging phone calls and e-mails dear friends. You'll never know how much hope and different perspective you've given me.
hi, K!
ReplyDeleteI sooooo admire you for attempting sleep training--I've never had the guts to do it--I give in, and I figure my babies are a baby once...but maybe I'm way off in still getting up at 2:30 every night with my lil girl. Ash trained himself by 4 months...Eva is a different story...that said, I should get to bed--she'll probably be up in a couple o' hours! You rock, Kristyn! I totally love reading your blog and blatant honesty about everything--you make me feel like I'm a normal person (and that's a good thing) when I'm going through hard baby/life/body stuff! :) I'm not a freak! :)
