Here's something to remember for baby #2, whenever he/she comes along. When a schedule is established, hold to it at all costs. AT.ALL.COSTS. For Nyla, if one element of her schedule gets messed with or she misses, she's a disaster the next day.
For example, on Wednesday night, Nyla pooped in the middle of the night, thus waking her up. I went to change her diaper, gave her a little bottle, and back to bed she went! Not even 45 minutes had passed from start to finish. But that little lapse of time totally disrupted Nyla's normal schedule and yesterday, she was off. Crying, crying, crying, fussy, more crying. She wanted to be held, didn't want me near her, wanted to stand up, wanted to crawl around, wanted her apple juice, didn't want her apple juice...disastrous. Of course nap time was almost non-existent. And you know what that means...more disruption for today! Hooray.
She woke up again last night around midnight and stayed awake until 2! Grrrrrr....hopefully will get this monkey back on her schedule tonight.
I should have known this was going to happen. Paul said the words of death the other night:
Dad: So is Nyla sleeping through the night?
Paul: Oh yeah, she's slept like 10 nights in a row so she's good! Always sleeps through the night.
PAUL ELLIS! DO NOT EVER SAY THOSE WORDS! :)
