Sleepless nights

Stuart went back to work yesterday. I did manage well on my own for the first time. In fact, Hannah had her first babysitter! My mom came over and stayed with her for about 2 hours while I went up to the hospital to see Stuart's Mema who is recovering from a broken hip. This was the first time I had left her without Stuart being there. I didn't worry about her one bit being with mom who was loving every bit of it. If only my mom could feed her, we would be in great shape. Mom had a great time and the dogs really enjoyed having Grandmommy over too.

In preparation for Stuart to go back to work, he needed sleep. With Hannah still having her nights and days confused this didn't work out very well for him. Hannah thinks that during 12am and 4am it is time to eat, play, and be held. Mommy disagrees, but what can you do? I just pray that this resolves itself quickly, very quickly! So, Stuart is now having to sleep in the guest room until Hannah can sleep at least 3-4 hours at a time during the night. It is not her waking up to feed that is bothersome, it is the fact that after I feed, she stays wide awake! and fusses and cries and makes noises!!! Last night was better, she did wake up every 2 hours to feed but slept like a little angel when we were finished. Until about 4am when she decided it was time again to be wide awake, unsatisfiable hunger, and fussy. Thank goodness we get to sleep in as late as we want. I finally got up at 11:30.
