In A Mood

    Sorry about skipping yesterday's post. I know what it's like when you follow a blog and they don't post the next day. Most bloggers post every few days and I can handle those. It's the ones who post every month or so that I don't like. Anyhow, I don't have any excuse or reason for not posting. I just didn't feel like it.

    Yesterday Jr. was in a mood. I don't know what was bothering her. Teething? Overtired? She refused to nap ALL DAY. I don't remember this ever happening before. In the mornings I'll leave her in her crib for up to an  hour and by that time she will have fallen asleep. She doesn't cry but talks herself to sleep. But yesterday, even after an hour, she wouldn't sleep. Then we had company for lunch and she wouldn't nap the entire time they were here. I'm sure they thought we were big pushovers because we kept taking her out of her crib and then putting her down again not long later when she kept fussing. She was half crying, half whining. But when we put her in her crib she would SCREAM. This normally doesn't happen. We can put her down without a fight. Sure, she doesn't necessarily sleep right away but she doesn't cry either. Yesterday was awful. Even after our guests went home she refused to sleep. So finally, at 5, we fed her dinner and gave her a bath. She was down at 6. She woke up about an hour later, crying hysterically. Unfortunately, hubby and I were trying to get in some "adult time". I ended up singing the Golden Girls theme song, which calmed her right down. (Weird, I know.) Thankfully we were able to resume our activities without further interruption! (I can just hear my MIL saying, "Yes! More grandchildren please!")

    Jr. did, however, wake up at 11pm. I was just dozing off when she started crying. So I waited and she stopped after less than 5 minutes. But it happened again at 12! Crying for a bit, then falling back asleep. Then again at 1am!! What's going on?? I decided to give her a bottle, regardless of the fact she was probably going to fall back asleep again on her own. After that I didn't hear from her until 7:30am this morning. What's up with that? Why every hour? It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't wake up but getting woken up every hour is just not right! 

    This morning she seems okay and we put her down for her nap about 20 minutes ago. She started off babbling and now she's still talking from time to time but she seems to be winding down (fingers crossed). I pray she has a good nap. I've convinced hubby to take us to the Biodome today. He's not looking forward to it but he knows how much I want to go and I appreciate the fact that he's willing to compromise for my happiness.

PS. Happy Birthday to my dad who turned 54 yesterday!
