The blog has been neglected because we have been in sleep boot camp around here! Some nights are brutal and others are fantastic. Even though Preston is will be 8 weeks on Monday, he was showing signs that he would be able to handle some "cry it out" time. It's been rough on Mom, but he's sleeping so much better (knock on wood) now. It's been an adventure trying to get the right combination (i.e. The Miracle Blanket, Timing of naps during the day, Making his room darker, Gassy tummy remedies, Me blaming Brock for being too loud {that was the lack of sleep talking}, Changing sleeping outfits, Changing night time supplements, Timing of Baths etc...). Seriously, it's been quite the adventure attempting to figure out this sleep puzzle for the little monkey. For a while he was waking up every 45 mins from 2AM on. That was wearing Mom slick! However, since we've got the gas under control (most the time), done some "cry it out", and instituted a combination of other things, we're are on the up and up. At the risk of jinxing myself, I'm proud to report that he only got up twice in the night for the passed 2 nights.
It's helped that he started smiling when I would smile at him. That made my tired heart warm right up! He's also started getting more chunky which just makes him that much more adorable to my sleepy eyes. It also helps that he looks a lot like his Dad (With the exception of the chunky part)! Hopefully with my new found sleep I will get more posted (as requested) of our special boy and how Preston is doing training his Mom.
