Lex has been waking up more and more often
\n at night the past few weeks. We are up to 3 times a night
\n again. So Alan and I decided we need to get tough again. Last
\n night I put a heavy dark curtain over his window (thinking
\n maybe the cars or lights or earlier sunrise is waking him) and
\n I changed his diaper during the night (lately he’s been waking
\n up with a very wet diaper – time to buy the overnight variety).
\n Soo… we put him to bed at 8pm last night. His first wake-up
\n was 4:30 (lately it’s been 12:30 so we’re off to a good start
\n already!). I changed his diaper and put him back down. He
\n fussed a bit (11 minutes) but then fell asleep. He woke up
\n again at 5:30 acting very hungry so I brought him into the bed
\n to nurse. He nursed very well and we both fell asleep again. At
\n 7:05am Alan says to me “Did you shut off the alarm?” which is
\n normally set for 6:30am. I say “no”… hmmm…. Lex, meanwhile,
\n continues to sleep in my arm. We checked the alarm and found
\n that it’s actually set for 6:30pm! I found that hysterical
\n because it hightlights how long its been since we actually woke
\n up to the alarm! Normally we set it at night and shut it off at
\n 5:30 or 6:00am when we get up with Lex. So we overslept this
\n morning and I was late(ish) for work – but it was
\n fabulous!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
