To Sleep or Not To Sleep?
Over all Owain is a pretty good sleeper. When we first brought him home from the hospital he slept probably a total of twenty hours in a day. Which was great we were able to take naps with him or get caught up on housework,which is never ending.
After a couple of months Owain started sleeping longer at night time. Which was fantastic! He would sleep for five hours wake up for a diaper change and bottle and usually goes right back to sleep.
Then a couple of weeks ago Owain surprised us by having a few nights in the week where he would sleep ten hours straight! this was exciting. Finally mom and dad were gonna be able to get some real sleep. If you can call it that even though Owain slept through the night I would wake up to check on him or he would be stirring in his sleep and kick the side of his crib. He is quite the wiggle worm when he is sleeping(daddy says he sleeps like mommy).
Last night and early this morning Owain decided that he was a big four and half month old and he does not need to sleep because he is a big boy now! I wasn't to thrilled with his new plan.
The night started out as usual Owain was a sleep by 7:30. Which was great. Then he woke up around a 11:30. No problem I will change him,feed him and he will go right back to sleep.
So I thought, that little stinker decided he wanted to play until 2 a.m! Keep in mind I haven't been to bed yet. Finally after having a second bottle he went to sleep. I thought to myself yes he should sleep until 6 or 7 a.m.
Boy was I wrong Owain was a wake again at 4 and back to sleep by 5. O.k this time I really thought he would sleep for awhile. Well an hour and fifteen minutes later guess who was up playing in his crib.If you guess little stinker Owain you guessed right (after this long night I decided that was his new nick name.)
Owain was having a great morning he was laughing and playing and in between laughing at his tired mommy he would be really fussy because he was so tired but he would not admit it and go to sleep.
Finally 12:30 rolls around and he finally passes out. Thank god! I took advantage of this and passed out as well. He slept until 3:45! Which was great we both needed it and now it's 7 and he is sleeping like a sweet little angel in his crib. Hopefully tonight will be better night for us all.
