The Ramblings Of Jenn Shuey

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.
