Crabby Mama

Adam’s sleeping is getting SOOOO much better. Over the weekend he took at least one 2 hour nap a day and the other naps were averaging an hour apiece. Yesterday he took TWO 2 hour naps. Today so far, his first nap was 2 hours. I might have screwed things up though because I kept him up almost 2 hours so we could have our first outing to the gym (more on that in a minute). Hopefully that is not the case.

Also, yesterday I started feeding him from both sides at each feeding. The theory is that the reason he is waking up so often at night is because he is not getting enough calories during the day. So I am trying to up his calorie intake during the day in HOPES he will sleep longer stretches at night. Last night he ate at 7:45p, 11p, 2:30a, and then got up for the day at 6:30a. Still no longer than 4 hours at a time. I will continue to do both sides, since he seems to want to, and see where that gets us.

Adam went to the gym daycare today! I know he is supposed to be three months, but SHHHH don’t tell anyone. I think he is close enough to count. He woke up from his first nap at 10a, so I fed him and got us ready. We got there at 10:40 and I did about 50 minutes (4 mi on the bike and 1.35 mi on the treadmill). Then I got a protein shake for lunch (nutter butter=YUM!) and we were home by 11:55. He pretty much went straight to sleep. The daycare workers said he did GREAT and was adorable and talkative. At the end he started rooting, which is what he does when he is tired. I know I overextended his waketime, but how else will I ever get to the gym? Once or twice a week hopefully won’t make a difference.
