Ugh. I was totally right when I said I didn’t think Elliana would stay asleep when she went down at 8pm. She slept a total of 20 minutes before she woke up again. I fed her and tried to get her back to sleep, but it just wasn’t working.
I handed her off to Hubby for a bit so I could grab a bite to eat, and then at 9:30pm I gave her a bath thinking some Johnson’s Bedtime Bath might help her drift off quicker. I’m not buying anymore of that stuff because it totally doesn’t work for her. I try to follow their little 3 step bedtime bath, bedtime lotion, and quiet time routine, but it just doesn’t work. Baths tend to wake her up instead of putting her to sleep, so after I got her dressed I spent well over an hour rocking her and feeding her before she drifted off again. Even after she fell asleep I stayed in the rocker for awhile to make sure she was good and asleep.
Now I’m not certain she won’t wake up again. I decided I’ll sit here reading fat burners reviews for a bit, and if she doesn’t wake up within another 30 minutes I can probably safely say she’s down for the night…or at least until 3-4am. I’m crossing my fingers and praying she’ll stay asleep because it’s been such a long day.

Whew. I am totally worn out. Today has been one of those days. The baby absolutely refused to go down for naps today except for a 40 minute nap this morning. She was cranky, my Grandma was begging to see her, and I had a huge list of stuff I needed to accomplish. I’ve still got a ton of work to do, but at least I ended up getting most of my housework done. I gave in, took the baby to my Grandma’s, and I ran back and forth all day doing what work I could while going back to check on her.
It might not be quick weight loss, but all that running back and forth should help me lose at least a couple pounds. That’s the plus side of having my Grandparents next door. They’re always begging to keep the baby, so I have a built in babysitter. Plus I can walk back and forth which helps me lose weight. The downside is running back and forth like that totally wears me out.
Now the baby is finally down, and I hope she stays that way for the night. I doubt she will, but if she does I can finish the work I didn’t get done today, and then I can go to bed early with her!

Wow today is going to be a busy day. The little one is asleep right now, so I’ve been taking the time to get as much done as I possibly can. I’ve got a ton of work to do, and if I don’t get it done today I doubt I’ll have much time to work on it later. Elliana has this new idea in her head…she doesn’t think sleep is all that important anymore, so she’s fighting her naps big time. We didn’t make it to bed last night until well past 1am because she absolutely refused to go to sleep.
Today I have to deal with that, plus my work, plus I have to bake a cake since today is Hubby’s birthday. It’s getting to a point where I think I may need a double dose of my multivitamin supplement to keep up! I wouldn’t do that, though. Maybe I just need to switch vitamins since the ones I’m taking still make me feel sick.
As much as I hate it Hubby may have to settle for a store bought cake. I just don’t see how I’m going to have much time to make him one. Elliana should be waking up from her nap any minute unless a miracle happens and she decides to sleep longer than 45 minutes. I would have made it this morning, but I had to fuel myself so I don’t fall over before Hubby gets home from work!
