8:00 pm I brush Paula's teeth and read books and she goes to bed.
8:30 pm I bathe and feed Nathan, swaddle him and put him down next to my bed. He goes down easy.
9:00 pm I clean up the kitchen, pick up toys, etc.
9:30 pm I go to bed
12:30 am I am awakened by "MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY" so I go up, put her back in bed and tell her its the middle of the night and she needs to sleep (this is not super abnormal...happens once in a while, but usually one time in the night and she's back asleep until morning)
12:45 am No such luck...Repeat of the last one
1:00 am Nathan wakes to eat
1:05 am Repeat of my 12:30 am post, but Shane goes to her this time since I'm feeding Nathan
1:15 am He is back in there again
1:45 am Nathan goes down
2:00 am Paula is up again. This time I decide to lay with her in her bed (bad habit, but when you aren't getting sleep you do what you need to do)
From 2 am to 4 am I am rolling over telling her to go to sleep. We fall asleep sometime around 4 am.
5:00 am Shane comes and gets me because Nathan needs to eat. Paula wakes when I try to sneak out of her bed, and I can't get her to lay back down. So she is downstairs with me while I feed Nathan.
5:45 am Nathan is finished eating and I try to lay him down. However, each time I swaddle and rock him he is awakened by Paula talking very loudly and me telling her to SHHHHH
6:15 am As I am writing this post I have swaddled and rocked him 4 times and he is still awake.
Oh, and Nathan is colicy, so if he doesn't go back to sleep, my day is going to be exponentially worse than if I was just tired from a lack of sleep.
Yes, this was our night. Worst night so far, and not the fault of Nathan. Oh what a long day today will be.

Hang in there! It DOES get better...at some point! The light will be dim at eh end of the tunnel for a while, but you are a good Mamma, so you will persevere. Some times you do just have to laugh as you cry at the same time, though!!
I'm exhausted just reading this.
I have one..you are preventing me from the second! I wish we lived close to each other and could at least hang out. I would love to take Paula and play with her! MOVE HERE..haha!
xoxo...will be thinking of you!
Oh my. When do you sleep?! Keep it up super mom:)
Exact reasons I am not ready for that....yet. I'll enjoy my 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep for now. :)
