Progress

Our first two nights at home were not so hot. Little F alternated between fussing, crying, eating- sort of and pooping all night long a la Lionel Ritchie. Something had to give. I am happy to stay up, to nurse, but to never have an end in sight is not sustainable. F got up as many if not more times than I did. Little F thought it appropriate to sleep all day long and repeat his evening performance. We tried putting him in the chair he loves to sleep in during the day, with a swaddle, no swaddle, chupete, no chupete, in the bassinet. Last night we went to bed at 8:40pm (a world record) with the other 4 monkeys and invoked the sleeping spirits. While it was not a perfect night, it was much improved! We had one three hour (yahoo!) stretch and several 30 minute and one hour ones. He did sleep on our bed (a no-no) but at least we made progress. The work week begins tomorrow (hello May!) and I need to be able to make it through the night without F's full assistance.
More later...
