No rest for the wicked

I am not really sure what my subject heading means, but it popped into my mind when I thought “what should I write that conveys how I get, like, no free time after 2 pm?”. For the past three nights, I’ve tried instilling a bedtime routine for Henry and I have not had much success! It actually bothers me a lot, because we do the bath/swaddle/nurse routine, and I am positive he will fall asleep…and then he doesn’t! Right now, he is bathed/swaddled/nursed, but he is wide awake in his swing. I give up! I just have one of those babies that doesn’t like to sleep. Maybe I should cut down on my coffee consumption.
I don’t have much to say and, judging by the number of people who have visited this blog today, it doesn’t matter because there is hardly anybody reading! lol But here is a picture of my supper for all the voyeurs out there in the hiz-ouse.
Baked beans, roasted root vegetables, and steamed vegetables. Fibre much? (That is how I spell fibre!)
Well, the baby is crying so I must end this. I posted twice today, hurrah for me! For all seven of you reading this — enjoy! 🙂

When I nursed I limited my coffee intake and when I did drink coffee, drank lattes. I’m not sure whether this makes a difference.

I think it must. I am trying a day of decaf today. Wish me luck!

I’m reading, but I do it through my Google Reader! I am sneaky that way. 🙂
That’s too bad that Henry won’t sleep — I guess he’s already practicing for college!

You are sneaky! 🙂
I should not be surprised he is a night owl. His father is the same way! Unfortunately, I am not, and I am the one with the boobs!

he will get ino his own routine in due time. i know bree didnt sleep longer through the night until about 3 months old. try and nap or atleast rest when he does. it can be hard… i am getting used to the no sleep already. between bree not wanting to sleep, and me being so uncomfortable. good luck hun! here for you anytime 🙂

He is just a few weeks away from 3 months. I shouldn’t rush it, though. He will only be 2 months old for such a short time. I am looking forward to the longer sleeps, though 🙂

I used to think that about Rebecca too… that she was a crappy sleeper because I drank a lot of caffeine. But I drink way more caffeine now and Nolan is a great sleeper. So now I think that it’s just their personalities. At almost 3 Rebecca is still a crappy sleeper. And Nolan is a “morning person” … who knows where he got that from… my point is, you never know what you’re going to get! So don’t beat yourself up over a cup of coffee… happy moms are better moms!
