Our nights are Schot

I'm grumpy. And tired.

When Hudson was 7 weeks old he started sleeping through the night. Oh happy day! Such a good sleeper! I would feel bad talking about my good sleeper in front of other exhausted new moms who weren't quite so lucky.

Weeeeell...it looks like Justin and I were rejoicing a little too soon.

We've been coasting along pretty smoothly and WHAM! 8 months hit us like a brick wall. We came back from Christmas in Nashville where the 3 of us shared a room for 2 weeks. (Hudson doesn't do the Pack and Play very well which means Justin, Hudson and me all ended up in a full bed almost every night for 2 weeks.) We got back home and into our own space and Hudson went straight to sleeping 12 hours/night and easy peasy nap time. And then all hell broke loose.

For the past 5 or 6 nights we have been up pretty much all night. No joke I was up about 4 or 5 times the first night....and it's 'down' to just 1 or 2 now. Come. On.

Naps?

Forget it.

Today Hudson cried for probably about an hour and a half in the 'cry it out method.' (45 minutes between 2 naps). He actually napped for less time than that, I think. The second one didn't even happen. We finally just got him up and said screw it.

I'm exhausted. I'm cranky. I'm annoyed. I'm frustrated.

Yet...I still am crazy about that kiddo.

I guess that's parenthood, huh?

I'd post a pic of him, but my stupid iPhoto isn't working. I upgraded it today and it just keeps freezing trying to upgrade my library. Another thing that's making me annoyed.

On a positive note, Justin and I had a great date night last night and the muchkin did great for our babysitter.

Pray for sleep for the Schots.
