Today you had two short naps in the day time, and a long nap in the afternoon, another one of those almost-3-hours naps, which was great, because I got to nap too. I notice that when I nap with you, you nap longer. Maybe because I'm right there when you stir, and coax you back to sleep again. Whatever the case, it should do mummy good, coz there are days when she is just at the end of her tether, and the world just swims around in front of her eyes, I exaggerate not.
Also, tonight after putting you to sleep ( took me an hour and a half ), you woke up after 10 minutes. I decided fuggit, and let you cry it out. You whimpered and complained for about 10 minutes, and then cried for maybe 5 - 7 minutes, and finally fell asleep on your own. I'm spent from hearing you cry.*sigh*
8/13 Thursday.
Woke up CRYING: 8:30pm
at this point, I nursed you a little to calm you down, and you started getting very drowsy about 7 minutes later. Patted you and rubbed your tummy a bit until you fell back asleep at 8:45pm, not nursing.
Woke up whimpering: 8:55pm,

Another restless night for you, crying at an hour and an hour and a half after going to bed for the night. I patted your back and rubbed your tummy but you cried and cried, but finally got tired enough or something and fell asleep. Then proceeded to wake up hourly from 2 am onwards, whimpering.
Baby, this has got to stop. :(
It makes me sad that I can't help you to where you sleep good. :(
8/14 Friday.
You hardly napped all day, because it was one of those "wreck the boy's routine" days again. You napped probably a total of 50 minutes today, but went to sleep for the night pretty easily. I stayed in the room with you to help you get over your sleep humps. Sure enough:
Fell asleep: 7:50 pm
Fell asleep: 7:50 pm

Plus, you've started this thing where you really pinch down with your gums while nursing, and then pull away abruptly or push the boob away suddenly, while still having this death gum-grip.

YEOWCH would be an understatement. Hoy.
You had the first major "solid food" poop today. It was like semi liquidy melted creamy peanut butter, unlike the watery/liquidy fully-breast-fed kind of poop. Kinda phooey smelling too.
