This past week has been extra stressful. Little Eden has been teething big time and not taking it so well. She started last Saturday night waking up in the middle of the night and wanting to play. Now, this is not unusual as every once in a while she does this, but will go back to sleep within 30 minutes. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights she woke up wanting to play - now THAT is unusual. She is a pretty good sleeper normally sleeping from 7pm - 7am and waking 2-3 times to eat (she will nurse for about 20 min. then go back to bed, so not bad). Waking up that many nights in a row is so rare for her. The worst night was Tuesday night. She went to bed as usual at 7 and woke up at 9 wanting to play. I tried to let her just play it out thinking she would wear out soon, but then it was 10, then 11, then 12 - finally 12:30 she goes back to sleep. But, she went to sleep in our bed so Nick moved to the couch. Then she woke up AGAIN at 2:30 played until 4:30 and slept until 7:30. So if you want to add that up - that's 5 hours of intermittent sleep for me and about 7 interrupted hours for Nick. NOT GOOD!!!! She was a BEAR all day yesterday and absolutely did NOT want to take a nap. I finally went to my last resort and put her in the car and drove around. She fell asleep but kept waking up crying, then went back to sleep. I just drove around for an hour just so she would have some time to rest her body even if she wasn't sleeping. While I was out I decided to stop by Sonic because I was dying of thirst. I wasn't really wanting soda so I just opted for water with lime but I got a Route 44 size. When Nick got home he saw my Sonic drink and he thought it was soda and says "Oh Mama got the route 44 - it was a bad day!!!!" I got tickled at his comment and wonder, do you ever have "Route 44" kind of days?? I want to hear your route 44 day stories! :)
and PS... Eden did MUCH better last night and we are praying she will continue to do well. Her front tooth came in a little more today and she was a lot better and also took 2 naps! PTL!!!

ugh. bobby and i have a cold right now, and he has not been having his normal sleep patterns either! maybe i need to go to sonic!
It's been a Route 44 kind of 2 weeks around our house :) I keep reminding myself that he'll only be this small once but it's hard to cherish this time when you're SO sleep deprived!!! I totally feel your pain...
Miss you guys! Love ya'll!
This school year has been a Route 44 kind of school year for me. I had a great class last year for my first year of teaching. I was very spoiled last year. This year has not been that easy. I find myself going to Sonic at least 2 or 3 times a week before school.
Luckily, I have a coupon for a 99 cent Route 44. I never hand it to the carhop, and they never ask for it. I think I'm going on 2 months with the same coupon!!
Praying Eden's teething days get easier!!
