It will end, right? Please tell me that one of these days our daughter will sleep through the night. We both agree that the noise she makes (every hour last night) is worse than screaming. She isn't crying and isn't playing...it is an in between "I'm irritated that noone is picking me up to play and I might have some gas" noise. Last night? I remember glancing at the clock periodically and seeing 1-something, 2-something, 4-something, 5-something, 6-something...we finally gave up and came downstairs around 8:00. She has been sleeping in her beautiful bassinet in our room. After getting up four times, I will usually pull the bassinet over to the bed so I can just reach over to comfort her. My arm is actually sore today. I want to chuck that damn binky out the door (Mr. JuJu, or Jugs, used to do this with LittleJuJu's binkys...right out into the yard!) and call it quits.
We are leaving early Thursday morning for New York to visit the (my) in-laws and then onto Canada to visit Mr. JuJu's aunt, uncle and cousins. They have a sort of "beach" or rather "lake" house there. LittleJuJu has been driving me insane with "how many more days to Canada?" and "HOW MANY???" and "HOW MANY, MOM? HUH?" Shoot me.
You might notice that I am not in a particularly good mood this morning. This is due to one part no sleep and one part knowing that I will have to put on a bathing suit in four days. I bought a lovely white tunic style cover-up! It is just sheer enough that you can tell that I had the balls to actually put the suit ON but modest enough to cover up me newly gigantic ass and thighs. Oh summer, how I love thee.
Speaking of summer, my new accessory of choice is the wide headband. In our part of the world, it is so humid that there is no sense in drying off after your shower because the moment that you walk out the door you are drenched again in that weird smelling hot wet air. My hair is naturally curly, so that after I dry it straight and walk outside, it begins to curl and wave and do things that no hair should ever do...thus the headband. Tunics and headbands. I am a fashion plate.
Relax sweetie...it DOES end...eventually...my kids' sleep-thru the night realities:
SON #1: 8 months
SON #2: 6 months
SON #3: 7 weeks
You just need to have another one, that's all!

Ohhhhh how I want to have kidsss... but how I probably shouldn't because I.LOVE.SLEEP.
Sounds like you DO have a super busy couple of weeks coming up - where abouts in Canada are you going/coming (I'm in Canada, eh?)? And is Jugsy a canuck himself?
I hope the little one starts sleeping through the night soon! And that your arm feels better soon too! hehe.
:-)

White headband huh? Sounds so retro :) Mine is usually up in a ponytail so I guess we are in the same boat. I have a cute tunic too that I bought for cover up reasons. I think it cuter than my bathing suit! She will sleep through the night- maybe it is crib time so you don't have to hear those noises all the time?
Have fun on your trip!
