Yep. That is me today. Having Mike home for an extended weekend was great. because he was lucky enough to wake up with the baby. She usually sleeps through the night, but I find when we mess up her routine it takes her a few nights to get back in the groove. We stayed at my aunt's this weekend because of the wedding, so the first few nights back home were a bit off, and she woke up around 2am. At least this is what my husband tells me, because I was sleeping.
Last night, there was no hubby to valiantly take the middle-of-the-night baby duty. We had dinner with a girlfriend last night and I drove her home around 7:30. By the time we got back home the baby was fast asleep in the back seat. Score! I put her to bed and that was that. I watched my Big Brother (don't judge), and then I was in bed by 9. I'm le pooped these days, still trying to catch up on sleep from our crazy August.
I heard her crying at 12:30 .... I picked her up and she quieted instantly. I rocked her a bit, and put her down. As soon as she realized where she was ie: her crib - the screams and tears started. This went on until 3AM .... I fed her, gave her gripe water, changed her diaper ... but every time she was in her crib she went ballistic. Between 2:30 and 3 I could tell she was tired because it would take longer for the crying to start ... you know, just in time for me to almost fall asleep.
But by 3am she was done, and I was able to catch a few more hours of zzzzs until the alarm went off at 5:30. I'm strongly considering going home to nap at lunch today ...
