I don't know what is going on with the kids, but they have been particularly difficult this weekend. Sienna, my easy-going, happy baby has been fussy, fussy, FUSSY!!! She insists on being held - by me - 100% of the time, ideally while being walked around. If I sit, if I put her down (sleeping or awake), she freaks out. I actually let her cry in the crib for 20 minutes yesterday while I prepped dinner - something I've never done with either child!!
It's been taking me an average of 3-4 hours every night to get the kids down. I put Sienna down, I put Hudson down, Sienna wakes up, Hudson wakes up... repeat, repeat, repeat. On really bad days, nap time is the same. Hudson has been relatively decent with naps, but Sienna either refuses to sleep altogether, cat naps for 10 minutes, or requires that I hold her or lie next to her to sleep. I've put her in the crib or left her alone in bed asleep many times, and done a little happy dance when I've managed to leave her successfully, only to have her wake up 2 minutes later and then have to spend the next hour getting her back down.
This coupled with the fact that I haven't managed to get to sleep before midnight (because of the kids waking, not going to sleep, etc) the past week, and Sienna gettting up at 5am for the day (after several nursing sessions overnight) - has turned me into a bit of a monster.
Devin is leaving on Friday for 10 days and it is making me very anxious indeed.
But in any event, we still had an enjoyable weekend and I've been very excited to have made some new friends!!! :)
