Where does the expression sleep like a baby come from anyways?!?!?
I have never seen my baby in that stage 4 sleep!
She wakes very easily. If I need to wake her from a nap, all I have to do is walk into her room. I don't have to say a word, or touch her.
In the middle of the night if I get up to use the bathroom, she wakes up - and I tip-toe and I don't even flush the toilet! She'll often cry when she hears me, but once she realizes no one is up for good, goes right back to sleep.
The garbage truck that comes every Tues. has woken her from her nap more times than I care to remember.
DH works out of the house and he is often in and out. If he comes home during one of her naps, she'll often wake up.
I nap when she does as well, but if I decide to get up before she does, she'll wake early.
Needless to say, we talk to each other in whisperers, have all ringers off on phones, and a note on the front door not to ring the bell.
Now my DH and I walk around on our tippy toes, but it does not seem to matter! She has TWO forms of white noise in her room, and her door is shut.
Everytime I hear a dog bark, a truck go by, the lawnmowers going I hold my breath. I hate it!
