Sleep? Who needs it!

Amber is still struggling to have a full nights sleep these days. Actually, I wouldn't say that she's struggling, but I certainly am!

Sleep isn't a problem as long as mom is willing to hold me!

At 7.5 months she still has quite a few nights where she wakes up every hour. Needless to say I am more than just a little sleep deprived - sigh. I've tried quite a few different techniques to have any sort of success, but nothing seems to work for any more than a token night here or there.

It would be great if it was just a case of her having her days and nights confused, but she hardly naps during the day. So either she's not getting her recommended 14 hours of sleep each day, or she's sneaking naps in when I'm not looking!

A rare and peaceful moment

Somehow I've managed to adapt to only getting ~4 hours of sleep each night (I wish this was an exaggeration, but I'm actually lucky to get 4 hours each night). Once I get up and mobile - and have my much needed one allowable cup of coffee - I seem to be able to function as well as any other new mom :)

I find I'm quite jealous when I hear of other babies around the same age sleeping so well through the night. I've even heard of some that are quite a bit younger than Amber that sleep better than she does! I'm sure there will come a time when I look back at this and have a laugh. At the moment, however, it just seems tiresome.

You don't need sleep when you look this cool ;)
