The separation anxiety has officially started, but only at nighttime of course! Oliver has been the BEST sleeper ever since he was born. he would go 5 hour stretches from the day he was born and at 6 weeks started sleeping 10 hours and soon after 12 hours. About 3 weeks ago he caught a cold that made him really congested, so it was a little harder for him to breath at night. He would wake up screaming I would cuddle him until he calmed down and put him back to bed. This would happen maybe 3 times a night... now he thinks this wonderful cuddle time should happen every night which don't get me wrong I love cuddling him but we need sleep too! Especially since there's another little bundle on the way! So last night was the first night of cry yourself to sleep/back to sleep and boy was it rough! An hour plus of screaming just to fall asleep and a couple more little crying fits in the middle of the night. I'm tired. He's tired. He's been waking up at 7 am everyday and has not been napping well. So please pray this ends soon so we can rest up in preparation for more sleepless nights.... I love my little Oliver and he brings so much joy, but it has been a little rough lately!
