Cherry Blossom Heart: Abby: Week 19 Sleep....what's sleep?

Week 19

Feeling this week like I've got a newborn again.....walking into walls I'm so tired. Miss Pants is going through a phase right now. A phase of "Mommy is never going to sleep again". OK, that was probably a little dramatic, but when you are this tired, it seems like the truth. Miss Pants' schedule has been all over the place this week with her naps at school and when she is eating so by the time she gets home we never know what to expect. Every night has been different, but for most of them, the one thing that has remained constant is her lack of sleeping through the night.

I remember when she was about two months old and she slept throught he night for a couple nights in a row and I thought "this is amazing! My baby is sleeping through the night already, I'm the luckiest parent in the world!" Well that was short lived. Little Miss has been falling asleep for a little nap before bedtime. She gets up to eat before bed, but is so tired that she doesn't eat until she's full, she eats until she falls back asleep. She gets put to bed, but then two hours later her tummy wakes her up because she is hungry so I feed her. And again, she doesn't eat until she is full because again, she is so sleepy. This cycle seems to continue until Mommy has to get up and get ready for work. No beuno little girl. We are not ready to start cerel or solids, but we are trying to make sure she gets a good meal before bed. When she actually drinks well, she sleeps! Imagine that. At least two nights this week she ate good and slept from 8:30 until 3:30. I'll take it! Mommy can't wait for this phase to pass. I'm sure though as this one passes another will be soon to follow throwing Mommy for a loop all over again.

Mommy, Daddy and Abby had a little adventure this week! We went to Food Truck Ally on Thursday night to check it out. We saw our friends Doug, Missy and Brayden there. We walked all around, checking out the trucks, getting some good food and listening to the music. Abby even got to dance with Daddy for a bit. :) It was a good time and something new and fun to do.

On Saturday Abby's school had a Halloween party so we decided to go to that. Abby loved seeing her teachers even on a Saturday! She got to dress up in her fairy princess costume and show it off at school. She got to see some horses and we did some crafts!!

Mommy's little fairy princess!

I love Ms. Mary!!

On Sunday we went to the Berry Farm Pumpkin Patch!! Abby got to see more animals, go on a hayride and picked out her very own pumpkin! We had lots of fun together as a family!! It was a great weekend!!
