Seriously, I don't remember being this tired ever in my life. EVER. Sometimes I don't trust my memory, especially when I am trying to compare Ellie's growth and development to Tate at the same age. But I really think that Tate was a much better sleeper than Ellie. Not only do I seem to remember that he slept in nice good chunks of hours at a time, I also seem to remember that he was easy to put back to sleep after a late night feeding. To be fair, I do remember that sometimes getting him to sleep in the evening consisted of an hour of singing or humming the Brady Bunch theme song (I don't know the words to a lot of songs off the top of my head). Anyway, the point of this post is to document my struggle with Ellie and her lack of sleeping at night. Currently, her sleeping schedule is thus: in bed for the night around 9pm (we have tried to put her down earlier and she just won't go), up at 1am for a feeding and back to bed pretty easily, up at 4am for a feeding and putting her back down takes quite a bit longer (for some reason she thinks 4am is the time to party and often starts talking and wanting to interact), up again at 6am (that is only 2 hours from the last time she got up!) for another feeding and an even longer task of putting her back down to sleep. Usually by the time I get her back to sleep Tate is up for the day. I am slowly losing my sanity.
