John and I had our second anniversary this past weekend. 2 years of marriage, where did the time go?
We had been trying to figure out what to do, but with a baby things are a little limited. Especially when said baby is breastfed and absolutely refuses a bottle.
At first I thought we'll put her to sleep then go out while someone stayed with her. Great plan, except a few weeks ago she started waking up about an hour after putting her to sleep, to eat.
So that plan was out. We start bedtime routine around 7 and she can go between 2 and 4 hours without eating but I never know when it will be 2 and when it will be 4, so we had 2 hours. We had John's friend and his wife watch her and we went out to dinner... sushi of course :)
Surprisingly Olivia did GREAT and we enjoyed a night out alone together. We can actually go on dates now! WOOHOO!
On another note, sleep. This word has no meaning for me now. Since Olivia was a few weeks old she would sleep at least 6 hours, eat then sleep more. After two months she was sleeping all the way through the night. The past month or two she has been the most eradict sleeper, including naps. Waking every 1, 2 , 3 hours, taking no nap or napping for only 30 minutes. A few nights ago she woke up an hour after she woke up and then every two hours the rest of the night, also, 30 minutes before she actually would wake up she would wake up and make noises and so I would get up and then as soon as I walked into her room she would fall back asleep, then 30 minutes later she would be awake.
Needless to say I have been exhausted! Well last night, I was tired and felt horrible and John made me go to bed right after Olivia. She woke up twice and had a hard time going back to sleep but I finally caught up on sleep and now I feel great! Basically, my husband is amazing.
