Isabele's new pattern is to sleep all night - only waking and crying for me once. She goes back to sleep within just a few minutes of me giving her a hug, patting her for a minute and telling her to go back to sleep. She goes to bed between 7 and 8 PM and wakes up for the day about 5:50AM - a bit early for me, but so much better than waking up numerous times during the night. She still takes one or two short naps during the day. I'm not sure if they are short because she wakes up on her own, or if it's because she has a noisy 3 year old brother ...
It goes without saying that I feel 100 times better after a week of decent sleep. For those of you who have experienced the draining lack of sleep and the return to somewhat normal sleep - you understand. For those of you who have never experienced babies who will not sleep ... I hope you never do, but if you should, I understand your pain.
Little tid-bits from the daily hum-drum of life ... snippets that would otherwise most likely be forgotten.
YAY!!!!! Way to go Isabele! :-)
