All I wanted for Christmas was sleep and Santa didn't deliver.

Belle is almost 7 mos old now and she is still not sleeping consistently. I guess I shouldn't complain, nights like last night are few and far between. Well unless she is starting a new trend.

She went to bed around her usual time which is about 9 or so. I go to bed earlier expecting to get up at some point throughout the night. Well she had me up about 2. I thought I'd just put the paci in and be done, nope. So I then proceeded to try the whole "Cry it out" thing. She was not having it. After about 15 minutes Nic comes upstairs, I had left the monitor on so he heard the whole thing. He went down and made her a bottle. At that point I just wanted to go back to bed, so I gave her a bottle thinking she'd be out like a light and I'd go back to sleep. Nope.

She downed the bottle and when I put her in bed she rolled over and cuddled with her giraffe. I went to sleep on the air mattress upstairs just in case she didn't go to sleep right away. I was right she was up again. I then proceeded to take her and put her on the air mattress with me since that usually does the trick too. Nope. From about 2:30 til about 7:00 Belle floundered around like a fish. She just never got comfortable which meant I never got any sleep.

Some day I'll sleep again, lets just hope its before next Christmas.
