Danielle's Wakings

It feels like we have a newborn again - even worse cause neither of my newborns even got up this often at night.

The past 9 nights Danielle has been getting up - several times. Why oh why? So what if she's 9 months old. And so what if she's teething. And so what if she's also going through separation anxiety? Are these all valid reasons or something? Ha.

My dear darling Mark has been sleeping with our waker for most of these 9 nights..I think I did 2 of them. He does this so we can all get some sleep. How we would love to have our evenings and nights again. Oh and I dream about sleeping with my husband again. And yes, I know how lucky I am to have such a helpful and sweet man!

The problem is that we're spoiled. Marisa began sleeping through the night at 6 1/2 weeks. And our sweet Danielle began at 6 weeks. And sure, Marisa went through this too and we just babied her...I guess it's different with your first?

We know that these sweet babies are doing nothing wrong. I remind Mark (and myself) how this is perfectly normal and how they just need our comfort, blah, blah, blah. BUT, when you want some damn sleep, all this logic seems to go out the window!

Oh my, and Mark's going on a business trip for two days and one night. This should be fun! Hey Sweetie, can I come?
