I haven’t mentioned Joley’s sleeping habits in awhile. Why? Because I am a superstitious person and didn’t want to jinx it! Joley has gotten into a really good routine/schedule. I did it all by myself. Really, I did. Okay, it was all her. She is such a good baby.
Joley gets tired between 7 and 8pm each night. I have been trying to get her to stay up until the other kids go to bed because they can’t all be quiet enough so that she remains sleeping. It is easier to keep her up than get her back to sleep. I nurse her, snuggle with her a bit and then lay her down. She has started to go to sleep on her own, which is just wonderful!
She wakes sometime around 5am most mornings and I will feed her again. She will then lay down until 8-9am. This sounds like I should be getting a lot of sleep, right?
I’m not. I am so excited about my new freedom time that I sit up and do things like blog at 1:30am. Not just blogging though. I also workout (more on that to come), chat with friends, play with my Blackberry, Twitter, read… all kinds of things. I need to stop doing that though. I need to start going to bed and getting some sleep. With Joley sleeping better, there is no reason why I can’t get more continuous sleep… except my own excitement at having “me time” again.
Can you blame me?
