Too Good To Be True

Tuesday Night:
8:10 Bath time
8:30 Hand off to Denny, he dresses her and reads books
8:45 Denny exits her room alone, with a smile on his face
12:00 We go to bed
5:00 I wake up and think my child suffocated
5:05 I tip toe into Sophie's room to confirm she is still breathing
5:15 I go back to bed
6:30 I wake up from a nightmare
6:31 I wake Denny up and make him snuggle me
7:00 we get up to shower
7:40 Denny leaves for work, and I go back to bed
8:30 Sophie wakes

... Sophie slept nearly 12 straight hours... and didn't wake up once. I was so giddy, if someone could have popped me - bubbles would have burst everywhere! On top of that, she took a 2 1/2 hour nap... inconceivable! I tried not to get my hopes up, but couldn't help it...

Then last night came...

8:30 she fell asleep while Denny read books to her.
9:00 she wakes up angrily.
9:02 I console her while she lays in her crib.
9:15 I give in and nurse her.
9:25 I bring her in our bed.
9:30 she sleeps, I move her to her crib.
9:31 she wakes up even more pissed than the last time
9:40 Denny goes in to console her
9:45 I go nurse her once more
10:02 the monster is finally asleep

12:20 she wakes, I bring her in our bed
2:30 she cries, I nurse
4:50 she cries, I pretend I'm asleep
7:00 the insane child pops awake
7:40 Denny leaves for work while I hide under the blankets and Sophie watches tv

8:30 she falls asleep on my face, yes my face
10:00 she pops awake once more

3:40 (now) she has yet to actually take her nap, which normally happens between 12 and 1... tonight will not be fun.
