And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I thought I was tricking Noah last night by feeding him at 10:30. Maybe he would sleep through until 5:00? OH NO! Little bugger got me. He woke up at 4:00, which means there was NO POINT in trying to go back to sleep.

I tried that this week too! With equally unsuccessful results! Stupid babies.

Sounds like Noah and Dylan are somehow comparing notes cross-continentally.

You know what I should do this weekend? Make biscochos. For some reason, I really want some. I should probably check out the local groceria first, because IIRC, they are a lot of labor.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I actually got good sleep last night and woke happy it's Friday. One more big push and the last bit of pre-move renovation work on the house will be done. DH and I are having an amiable-but-deep-seated difference of opinion about shelf space in the new house. I think there isn't going to be enough room for all of our books and it's FREAKING ME OUT. He thinks I am overeacting and we'll find space for the bookshelves. Maybe we will, maybe we won't, she mutters darkly.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

That sucks, Kat. You should have called up the SO & chatted. He woke up at 4 this morning for no reason at all. Which he's been doing a lot. Confusing to people like me; I could sleep in indefinitely and can go back to sleep if I wake up early.

I totally should have. OH. Don't get me wrong. I fed the boy and was back in bed mt 4:30 AM, even though I had to get up no later than 45 minutes later. I did go back to sleep. K, who also got up because Noah has also learned that quiet fussing and hand sucking gets him no attention but yelling does, kept talking to me as I was trying to sleep and I got so agitated. I wanted to be like, "Bitch, please. Don't make me cut you."

What is killing me is that for 2 weeks, he was sleeping through the night. Then a co-worker said, "That won't last forever. He'll go through a growth spurt and not be able to get enough to eat in a feeding to last him those hours anymore. And he'll need to wake up." Bitch cursed him and he was up the next morning at 3:30.

Being woken at 2:30 was almost easier because it meant there was another solid chunk of sleep before I had to get up and go to work.

Is this in your built ins or in the regular bookshelves?

Stephanie turned me on to Ask Moxie, and I cannot thank her enough. The 4-month sleep regression? Oh yeah, it's real.
