Party In Our Bed at 11:30 PM

Yep, that's right. There was a party in our bed at 11:30 PM last night. It lasted until 2:30 AM. Isn't that awesome???

LOL - our cherub baby woke up at 11:30 for some unknown reason. After a couple of binky attempts, I pulled her out of her crib and changed and fed her. This will usually knock her out cold. Not so last night. She fussed. She rolled. She cried. She rolled. She fussed some more. Kelly got up and snuggled her for a while. Usually, this will have the effect of sleeping drugs on Bailey...it has ALWAYS worked in the past. Not so last night. She was quiet for about 20 minutes. We both thought that Kelly had worked her magic again. And then...can you guess it??? She cried. She rolled. She fussed.

I got up and turned on her mobile...the music will often calm her and give her something to look at. This will often lead to sleep. Nope. Not last night.

Finally, we just got up. We turned on the light and let her play on the bed for about a half hour. We tried hard to be mad, but it's really difficult when she's smiling and laughing and looking so sweet and snuggly in her fleece PJ's. I mean, honestly.

After a while, we decided it was bedtime again. I laid her back down and she fussed and cried. We decided to feed her again. She ate about half her bottle and then FINALLY crashed out.

Three hours. It took three hours for all of this to occur.

It goes without saying that Kelly and I are absolutely exhausted today.
