I AM in a world of Shhhhhh.....

It was either that film reference or: Just know, that I have a whole bag of SHHHHH with your name on it.

My life is shhhh shhhh shhhhh all the time. We're trying to soothe Wyatt with shhhhing and it's gotten to the point where I shhh the dog when we're walking, I shhh myself when I bump into something, I shhh'd T on his way into bed... then (as he tells me) the next night, I was shhh'ing Wyatt to sleep- while I was laying alone in bed, asleep myself of course. I'm on the phone with Cim and shhhh Wyatt back to napping and she asks if I'm shhh'ing her to shut up. Jeesh!

We were on a roll on the whole routine bit, the night part at least- he was falling asleep anytime between 8-10pm and waking up around 4 for a quick feeding and back to sleep for at least a couple of hours and maybe up one more time, then a quick one hour nap until the sun came up.... then naps during the day of course. Then, all of a sudden- he couldn't nap and now it's all screwed up!!!! Nevermind the fact that I had some bad hummus yesterday and was puking my guts out, he and I got very little sleep last night- we're talking a couple of hour naps here and there, of course he got a 4 hour jumpstart on my naps though. I'm trying to get him to nap out more during the day (longer than one hour intervals) in general so he's easier to put down at night- because it was working fine before this weekend! He should be getting between 12-15 hours a day I think.... I was getting about 8 there for a couple of weeks (if anything, one 6 hour chunk! woohoo! =)). He's barely getting 12 in a 24 hour period and that's with my forcing naps on him- he's rubbing his eyes and getting fussy, I know he's tired, it's just hard for him to fall asleep during the day now. I put up blackout drapes today in his room so we'll see if that helps... he's even been napping out in the car a lot quicker- We found out he likes the Silversun Pickups.

So, here I sit on the opposite side of the living room where he's swinging and napping, my hair stinking of my vomit and his spit up and oh yeah, he pee'd on me... I'm shhhh'ing him every 20 min or so, so he'll put himself back to sleep for a little bit longer. My head's about to explode and I'm about to pass out... I need caffeine, shower and bed... in that order. =)

But believe me, I'm still smiling because he's soooooo freaking cute! More later.... y
