The sleep routine

July 13, 2007

I feel like I am in a constant battle over sleep. I haven’t been well which has limited my patience more than usual and not being well I have been waking up every two hours for just about the past week (combination of being unable to breathe and having to go to the toilet all night, a lovely side affect of being pregnant). I said in an earlier post that I would take Wrigglebot’s sickness off him if I could, well it looks as if I did.

So anyway back to the sleep, not mine but Wrigglebot’s. He is a good sleeper with a regular two naps every day and 12-14 hours undisturbed each night. So his sleep is great except for when I am out with him and he misses a nap then for the rest of the day he is whiny and the only thing that seems to improve his mood is food, which always works.

I went out to the market this morning and he was a really good boy just looking around at everything, enjoying the sites. We got home and he did have a little nap followed by a longer one on top of me and then he started whining. He wasn’t happy being held, he wasn’t happy being on the ground, he just wasn’t happy. It just gets hards at times being such a slave to his sleep routine, oh well he is usually happy so it must work for him which is why I always try to give him his naps unless it is unavoidable.  Now he is fed, in bed and asleep and tomorrow is a new day that will definitely contain two naps.
