And she’s asleep
Katie left for Texas this morning at 4, and I am minutes away from starting my first ever night alone with the Bug.
Yes, Katie does the lion’s share of the overnight duties. C generally wakes up 3ish times overnight, and Katie gets up, gets her out of her bed, and soothes her back to sleep … or occasionally gets up with her and rocks her back to sleep when she’s not feeling well.
For the past year, I have helped here and there with overnight stuff, such as this morning when Katie left while it was still “night” to me. But I’d be lying if I said I was looking forward to tonight’s festivities.
Katie tends to notice the Bug’s needs before I get a clue that anything’s amiss. Last night I distinctly remember thinking - at about two in the morning - “wow, how did Katie hear C fussing? Did she really fuss, or did Katie maybe dream it?” No, Katie didn’t dream it.
Did I mention how much I am looking forward to this night?

I love hearing that someone elses one year old also gets up about 3 times a night. My neigbor has approx. 2 month old twins and says they sleep from 10 pm to 5 am without waking.

I keep hearing about babies that sleep through the night at some point. C has yet to do it even once. I keep thinking one of these nights…. But now I’m not really expecting it until she’s old enough to understand us when we say “you need to go back to sleep.”
