So I caved and hired a sleep consultant because getting up 6-8 times a night with a six month old is just ridiculous. So she has me fill out a questionaire and we have a phone call this weekend. Should be interesting.... In the mean time I type as Alex whines over the monitor for the third time since I put him down at 6:30 (it's 8:08). He's been crying for 8 min and I thought typing away would get my mind off of the fact that he's awake yet again and not a happy camper. Five more min of this b.s and I'll cave.
Poke my eyes out.
8:09 - 3 seconds of silence.
8:10 - still going strong. (I wonder if Hayden is waking up ticked)
I gave him tylonal before bed bc I thought his teeth may be bugging him AND he's so full he spit up.
8:11- still going. This is not a distraction
I'm a bad mother
8:12- I know if I give him a bottle he'll just fall back asleep... maybe I should, not feeling very strong.
8:13 - This min by min blow by blow is tourture
Now he's not only crying but hes fake coughing. Did i mention I broke my video monitor so I have no idea if hes upsite down, right side up...god maybe I should go in.
8:14 - quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet....quiet!! quiet! quiet! quiet! oh my god! QUIET! no sounds... a little moan...
8:15 - still nothing! moan... nothing nothing nothing nothing....whine....nothing.....
distracted by survivor...
8:15 - and....he cries again... nothing... nothing... nothing....
8:16- whine... nothing nothing
(breathing)
8:17 - I hear nothing! Is he back asleep?
crap... did i need a sleep therapist? LOL
8:19 and a full two min of silence. (for now)
maybe I AM the baby whisperer.
8:35 stir and whine
god i wish i had chocolate. Chocolate chips, man I would even settle for bakers chocolate. Why the heck don't Marcus and I EVER buy junk food? CLEARLY I need it.
8:37 silence
9:41 yelling
ok 10 min and then I'll go check him.
9:44 still yelling (clearly I have officially lost my mind documenting a blow by blow of my evening) - EVERY evening for the last six months by the way, did I mention that?
9:46- distracted from funny epi of the office - still yelling
9:48 - tappering, tappering.... (LOL I HAVE lost it - but this is actually helping).
