Ditto on that sleep, Sharon.... :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Alli, you are sooo lucky!

Juliana has been sleeping 45 min @ first nap and 30 min @ 2nd nap and 11 hours at night with 1-2 wake-ups. I am really drained....

I am not sure why I read almost everything that my husband says/does as criticism. As of late, it is crushing me and I feel myself retreating more and more. I guess it doesn't help that I am so tired....

Does anyone know if these short naps mean that she is trying to transition to just one nap?

P.S. Jillybean....sooo glad dh is okay!!!
Zay's Mom?  We used to chart religiously .... but not anymore, b/c my cycles have not returned. We are waiting until at least one more year to start trying again....

Quote from: Gigismom
how many hours of day sleep are the lo's getting?  mine gets 2.5-3.5 hours split between 2 naps usually.  i am wondering if that is too much and causing her to wake at night.  i'd be interested to hear what naps are like elsewhere.

Zoe naps on average 2-4 hrs a day.  A 45min nap in the AM and then usually a 2 hr nap in the afternoon (though this sometimes varies...1-1/2 somedays up to 3-1/2 today  :D ).  Nighttime is 7pm-7am with no nightwakings since she was 7-1/2 weeks -lucky me!!  :shock:  :D  (though i'm sure that won't be the case if she'd start getting more teeth, only two top and two bottom here)

I don't post much again...but I always keep up with this thread.  Zoe is finally starting to hold a bottle.  Still doesn't like to eat much, though LOVES finger foods.  Has pulled up once in her crib a couple of weeks ago.  Rocks back and forth on her knees...still waiting for crawling  :D

Gee, didn't really realize how lucky I am :lol: ....I thought that's what every baby did! :lol:  :oops:   Stephen's always been the same way, too!  In fact, Stephen as a baby was a better sleeper than Z.  He slept through ALOT earlier, but didn't always nap as well as Z.  It's good though, I need that down time when they are both sleeping at the same time!

Aw, Caroline!  :cry: What's happening? Do you want to talk about it more? I'm sure I could speak for the other women and say we're here for you if you need to talk. Feel free to pm me too...

Nice to hear from you Noelle!  :D

Oh and Caroline, is this new? The nap thing? We've been going back and forth with bad naps and thinking she's getting ready for one nap too...

Con had his 9 month checkup today...he's fat!!!

25 lbs 11 ounces......he's basically on time for everything, she figures the delay in pulling himself up & crawling forward is due to heftiness. 

I asked her about the sleeping problems, she said that part of it is that he's very active, but cannot wear himself out, so once he gets walking, it should work some of it out....she said that it's part of some babies personalities....

Jillybean, reading your post makes me want to pick up Connor and squish him!  :lol: I just think that is too sweet he can't quite tire himself out yet. Glad to hear he's healthy but sorry about the sleep deprivation it causes!

Dh is sending me to the spa today for a massage... can't wait! Feel sooooo lucky... I just hope I can stay awake to enjoy it!  :lol:

  :lol:  :lol:  Only can a mom say this about anyone!!  He's just good & healthy!!
 
Sorry to hear of all the nightwakings.  Hopefully they will go back to their norm soon.

MomtoRee - Hope the tear duct surgery goes ok.

Have a second here.  My 5yr had really bad tummy ache since Sunday and dr couldn't figure out why.  Finally yesterday(Wed) took her to the dr again and he sent her to the hospital!!  Her appendix had ruptured! :cry:  :cry:  I wished the dr could have caught it the first day and not have her in pain for 4days!!  She's at the hospital now doing well.  I spent the night with her and also had Jadyn with me :shock:  :shock:  That wasn't fun.  Jadyn was so wired that she slept from 8pm til 9pm in a sling and then we finally got in a room and she didn't go down til 11:30pm.  :shock:  I am totally running on adrealine.  I brought her home this morning so she could take a nap in her own crib and she's out like a light.  I'm just waiting for her to wake up from her nap.

Hope everyone is well.  Will catch up in a couple of days since she has to have IV for her medicine for 5days!!

Oh, poor thing! That must just break your heart to see your baby (I know she's 5, but do they ever stop being your baby?) in the hospital or in so much pain! Is she getting some relief now?
When is your nap scheduled!?!

I know, I shouldn't call him 'fat'...it doesn't matter anyways, because he is just so darm cute!!!...he was turning on the charm in the waiting room...he turns on the charm everywhere I go...somebody even looks his way, he'll start smiling at them...and if somebody gets close and doesn't acknowledge him, he'll start smiling away at them trying to get their attention...

Geez.....sorry to hear about the appendix!!!! That must have been so scary!!!!!

Connor took his two grandmothers to english cream tea this afternoon at a historic house here in Napanee...again, he was just a proper little man...never made a peep...all smiles.. except for the sleep thing, he is a great little guy, and he's so quiet in public (so far....)

Kathy - Yikes!  I'm glad they figured out what it was and everything's OK.  I know you must be bad they didn't figure it out quicker. 

Alli - Let me just say you are the envy of every mother.  I wouldn't know what to do with myself with naps that long!

Kathy, I do hope you are getting some rest today....how is your oldest little girl, now? Do they still let them eat ice cream after surgery? You win the award for toughest night!

Jillybean...you must have STRONG arms!

Sharon, the tough naps started Monday. Today, I just resigned myself to the afternoon nap being short (mornings been short ALWAYS....). I felt much better not expecting a long break....

I checked out "Sleeping Through the Night" by Jodi Mendell from the library. I was reading tonight that at 9-11 mos 11 % of children take 1 nap a day, 75% take 2 and 11% take 3. At 12 - 17 mos 60 % take 1 nap & 40% take 2.  There are children who transition to 1 nap early, I guess!

I really think we are on the slide toward one nap, but it is just not possible for her to make it through the whole day on one nap just yet. I slid bedtime from 8:00 to 7:30 tonight, and with a few tears, she did go to sleep.

Goodnight all!

Remember I mentioned that Connor discovered that we have a bunny rabbit....?

It's great, I let Jack (the bunny) out of this cage to run around, and Connor just watches and giggles and then starts laughing uncontrollably as Jack bounces all over the place.  The bunny is house broken, but when Connor was little, he rarely got out of his cage, now the rabbit can get out and be loose (which makes it happy), and Connor has entertainment...

Con woke up 3 times last night....I think this is a losing battle!!!!!
