Hey!
Did you know that I have a kid??
Sometimes I forget…
But its hard to forget when she’s screaming in your ear at 3am.
The monkey is too long for the sleepy hammock that she’s been sleeping in since birth. She’s also too pained from teething to sleep by herself in her own crib. So. What to do? Well, for the past two nights, she’s been sleeping next to me, in bed, while M sleeps on a twin mattress on the floor. (I dont wanna hear the damn warnings about how that’s incredibly not safe and shit… really, I dont. You do what works when you havent slept in weeks.) Saturday night she slept soundly and M and I actually got some quality Z’s. Last night, not so much. She kept waking up either in incredible amounts of pain or sheer terror. Cant really figure out which. Orajel has ceased to work. Tylenol is starting to wear thin. Mortin looks like it’s in our near future.
So, every time the monkey woke up crying, she wouldnt go back to sleep unless I put her in the nook between my arm and my chest and rocked her back and forth. Talk about needy. 
Needless to say, I didnt get much sleep. We dont really know how tonight is gonna work. Last night we tried to get her acclimated to her room and sat her in her crib and talked to her, and showed her her mobile and all that stuff. And then, just out of the blue, she started screaming bloody murder. No warning. No whimper. And the both of us were standing right there, next to her, in plain view!
Anyway, I picked her up and rubbed her back and M decided that she was sleeping with me on the bed, again.
*sigh*
Everything is just a phase… right?
Her first stick!
