I think Mackenzie likes to keep us on our toes around here! Just when we have a good routine going she changes things up on us.
Although she has never slept, she was doing better. She has had a very consistent bed time of 7:30 on the dot every evening for just over a month now (which is absolutely wonderful) but she does still wake up between 6:00 and 6:30 every morning...uggg. She is also only eating twice during the night (also wonderful), but she does stir or wake up three to five times a night...uggg squared.
But here is the kicker. For the past week she has gone to bed at 7:30, woken up around 10:30 to eat, then she cries for like and hour and won't go back in her bed. No matter how long we rock her or sing to her as soon as we lay her in the crib...BAM...she cries...forever! She has also been tossing and turning and whimpering and crawling in her sleep for the past week. I know she is trying to cut that 6th tooth, but this is ridiculous.
If you had told me I would have a 1-year old that still didn't sleep I probably wouldn't have believed you, but here we are still not sleeping. Huhhh?

Here is one picture of her having fallen asleep in my arm.
although this is a PRECIOUS picture, i am so sorry that you guys are still having a rough go...wow can i EVER empathize! to encourage you though, now noah is like the BEST sleeper ever, right at 12 months he decided he wanted to sleep now...it was literally from one day to the next! thinking and praying for you guys, and excited about bday for her tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel better, we have a 15 month old that doesn't sleep either! Nat slept like a rock - go figure. Some nights are better than others, though. I also just had a friend admitted to the hospital with GBS - maybe the same person? Ed? I am in Disneyworld with our family and haven't been able to find out much about his condition.
