sucky sleeps and school's starting!

before we left for sacramento, brynna had started waking up during the night again for ONE feeding. that sucked.

while we were in sacramento, she started waking up one or two times, sometimes not going back to sleep promptly.

since we've been back from sacramento, brynna is waking up 2-3 times a night...

WTH???????

needless to say, dave and i are tired. thankfully caleb is not adding to the mix of ridiculosity with sleeping.

we don't really know what to do with brynna. last night she went to bed around 8, slept until 12, got up, ate, burped and went back to sleep. then she got up again at 210, ate a little bit more, didn't want to burp and went back to sleep. at 315 she's up again. it's really a blur as to what happened between 315 and 550, but at 550 dave fed her again.

the previous night was much like last night.

i went back to my old blogs about caleb and at this point he was waking up at least once a night to eat. at 6 months (brynna's 5 months now) we started feeding him rice cereal and then solids. we also started letting him cry himself to sleep at bedtime and cry himself back to sleep when he woke up in the night. the thing with caleb, though, was that i was very sure that he was getting enough to eat during the day to allow that. brynna, on the other hand, is not a good eater like him (though her legs make it look like she is!), so i worry that if we did that to her, it wouldn't work.

i dunno. we'll see how it goes until her 6 month appointment and ask doctor what he suggests then. of course, in one month's time we'll be freakin' zombies if her sleeping pattern continues.
