Jack is doing a bit better in the sleeping department. He is still waking up during the night but has been (knock on wood!) going longer stretches. I've been putting him to bed earlier than normal which I think is helping. He has started taking naps again, but more so than not it's been in the morning for some reason. I know it's most common for kids to drop the morning nap first but my kid seems to like to do things a bit backwards. I don't really care I'll take it, I have more energy in the morning anyway.
Having said this I think back to my last post which now seems like more of a rant than anything else. I think that a weeks worth of sleepless nights and no naps during the day all while 7.5 months pregnant will take its toll for sure! Pregnant or not, i think that would put anyone over the edge!! Now that things have gotten back to being somewhat normal around here I can't help but think back to last week and see the good despite all of my stressing. I mean, if my biggest problem with my one year old is that he wants to snuggle and fall asleep with his mama all the time then I consider myself pretty damn lucky. I know one day he isn't going to want this from me, he's not going to be so innocent and loving towards me (which will totally break my heart!!!) so why not soak every last second of it up now and enjoy it for what it is. Bedtime is our time to snuggle and my time to soak up that sweet freshly bathed baby smell while he drifts off to sleep, I'm not going to lie, I look forward to this time :) and I guess if he ends up in our bed by morning then it is what it is. As a parent sometimes you've just got to do what you need to in order to get some sleep yourself. Luckily this week he hasn't come in earlier than 3AM. The other day he even made it to 5AM!! So we're making progress!
Gotta love looking at my phone and finding a plethora of selfies that all look like this!
