... the suggestions and support of people on the internet can be so comforting and helpful. Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions yesterday. I slept in the basement, alone last night. It was bliss. I probably got about 8 hours of sleep. Heaven. Tonight is hubby's turn. We will continue in alternation until this "phase" is over.
Meanwhile I am also trying some other things - NO caffeine after 11 am. Loading up Thing 2 on cereal right before bed. Putting a bottle of milk in her crib so perhaps she could feed herself if she woke up (go ahead and laugh... I did too but there is a father at our daycare who swears that his 11 month old self feeds from a bottle in the middle of the night). Going to bed immediately after Thing 2 goes to bed to maximize amount of possible time for sleep. Speaking of which, bedtime.
Thanks again for the support.
Yippee! Amazing! I am so happy for you. I can't believe I acutally made a good suggestion for once - and that other bloggers agreed with me! Thank you for helping us help you ;o). Enjoy those basement nights! (sounds like a good song)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a relief for you, glad SLGs suggestion worked out!
