So ever since we got back from Wisconsin, where Cooper had his first episode of sleep issues since he was about eight weeks old, he has been an absolute terror when it comes to sleeping through the night. His sleep is so inconsistent now. Some nights he'll be up every hour, some every two hours, some he's awake from 11 pm-7 am... I just can't figure it out. We've tried moving his bedtime up, switching bath soap, moving him out of the bassinet into his pac n play for more room, and even resorted to swaddling the baby who wouldn't stand to be swaddled from the day he was born.
I even broke dow and did the one thing I vowed I would never do, I ended up with him in the car at 5:30am, driving around all of God's creation until 8am, just so he could get some sleep.
I'm at a loss. I am so unbelievably tired. All of the adrenaline that came with the sleepless nights with having a newborn has disappeared since he starting sleeping through the night at eight weeks. I don't want to let him cry-it-out, and even if I wanted to I really couldn't since he's still in our room until we move, and I don't want to wake AJ up since he has to be up for work at 6am. I'm really hoping the sleeping fairy comes back down and gives me back my nights filled with slumber...
