Thanks for the support!
Yesterday went pretty well! I talked to DH a bit more. He was more supportive, but I think i'll be doing the night time parenting. Unless one of the kids is sick, or something, he's out for the count. I try not to hold that against him. He works 80+ hour work weeks outside the home, so I sort of see it as a trade off.
DS did so well! Here's how yesterday went (Started a sleep/eat journal so I can see how we're doing):
Sat 8-22
730 up
8am - breakfast. some oatmeal, applejuice, raisins
945am - bf, starting to doze off
10am - crib, started crying, kicking/pounding fists (not crying, just so wound up), talking, singing, then crying. said 'shhhhh' its time for sleep in an even voice.
1055 - fell asleep, left room
11am - woke up, kept at the 'shhhhhh' everytime he would start crying
1115 - fell asleep, left room
12:30 - awake, bf
1pm - lunch - chicken nugget, yogurt, water, grapes
3 - bf, started getting tired, but had errands to run
5pm - dinner - some spaghetti, some chicken sausage, milk - didn't eat much
5-30/6 - bath, play, bf
630 - went to lay him down, started crying but stopped when put in crib
700 - up, went in and 'shhhhh' sat next to him for ~5 min, went back to sleep
8 - up, went in 3 times, finally back to sleep
10:45 up
1115 up - 1am. sat in his room, shhed, held is hand, wiped his nose. he cried a bit - not much. I finally fed him b/c I hadnt nursed in almost 6 hours - laid him down after nursing
Sun 8-23
745 - up
He seems so much happier right now after sleeping for almost 7 hours straight. Like, I can type this right now and he's not freaking out because I'm not devoting all my attention to him.
Here's for another day of progress.
thanks again for the info and support!
