So... The whole sleeping in a crib thing didn't last... Kyle came up with the genius idea of lowering our twin bed to the floor and leaving the double at the normal level (remember we had a massive double king size bed here by pushing the two together just so our daughter could remain sleeping with us for the rest of her LIFE?)... This would be great if Sienna actually stayed asleep for a WHOLE night but she doesn't, so really this is the worst idea since marmite. So the saga continues... The past few nights I have been woken up MORE times than when she used to sleep at our level and since I end up sleeping on the twin mattress on the FLOOR with Sienna, every time I move she wakes up and when she finally goes to sleep and I go back up to the other bed I am so awake I just lay there waiting for her next roll to become a cry to become a splutter to become ME IN THAT DAMNED TWIN BED AGAIN! Also I have to admit I have now become unable to breathe or move in bed as I am terrified of waking her up... I have become the quietest person on earth... If I have to cough I do it into the pillow, if Kyle snores I kick him as silently as possible and if I have to pee I hold it until the morning... Kyle's snoring is another thing, I am basically awake all night in fear of NOT catching him snoring!
So today we decided that we would set up the crib in the bedroom again as we have been using it as a play pen of late and see what happens... Tonight will be the first night that I will attempt to feed her sitting up at the end of the bed and placing her back into the crib when she goes to sleep again... Then slowly but surely I hope she will give up (after lack of snuggles in bed) and sleep through the night... This will probably only take another YEAR... I'm fine with that, I don't really NEED SLEEP!
As I write this she is standing in her crib crying... I guess it's going to be a LONG night.
