Sleepless

This is mostly for the record, just so we can look back and (maybe) laugh some day.

Ella is 8 months old today (Happy Birthday!), but the last few nights she goes to sleep about 9 pm, then wakes up almost every hour between 12am-6am. At 6am she wakes up for good. It would seem that ever since we started with solid food, she's been more restless at night, and we know for a fact she's been a little 'backed-up' a few times. Otherwise during the day she's pretty happy!

Keren does most of the pacifier-replacing and bottle-feeding at night, and I get up with Ella at 6 or 5:30am to play with Ella and to get all of her stuff ready for the day. That way, Keren can sleep a little later. Needless to say, we're friggin-tired, and I'm a little afraid to leave for a couple of days to go to a conference for fear of what new punishment Ella will mete out to poor Imma while I'm gone.

You have my sympathy. Any visits to the pediatrician coming up where you might discuss the reasons for this latest development?

1/7 update: ella slept all night! she tanked up on milk before going to bed, and woke up at 7:20. i hope it's not a one-time thing.
