7:35p There is screaming. Hubby finds E sitting with his back to the crib rail, wailing. His mobile is on (I did not turn it on). Totally asleep. Pops a paci in his mouth and E faceplants back down, still asleep.
8:45p I'm in bed with a book I've been attempting to read for 10 months. Ten.
9:15p I get up to check on the kid as silently as possible. He's in a completely straight line, face down. Weirdo.
9:20p Lights out. I'm old, shut up.
12:56a There is wailing. Going to let him work it out and self soothe.
1:13a Apparently not.
1:14a Find him standing in the crib, arms outstretched, doing a pitiful wail. Sigh. Ok. We rock for a few minutes until he's passed out, doing a little baby snore and paci drooping out of his mouth.
1:22a Lay him ever so gently in the crib.
1:22:10a There is screaming.
1:23a Change him, feed him. He falls asleep for real.
1:49a Back to bed. Find Ramona has taken my spot and the hubby is snoring. Move the cat, poke the hubs.
2:02a OMG SERIOUSLY THE SNORING. Remind myself that if he were gone I'd miss the snoring. It's not even loud, it's just...irregular. And I'm trying to fall asleep.
2:09a I would not miss the snoring.
4:00a Attempt successfully to sneak to the bathroom without E hearing and waking up. It's a 50/50 chance.
4:38a A barely audible meowing begins from atop our hamper. Hiss at Ramona to shut it.
4:42a Ramona tries feed-me-attempt #2 by climbing through the blinds to see outside. Hubby grabs her and puts her in the hall.
4:46a Greta chimes in by sitting on my chest and staring at me.
4:48a Ramona sits on the cat perch directly outside E's door and begins to whine. I'm up, they win. If she wakes up that baby, I will skin her. And she knows it. She is smart and brave, I will give her that.
4:49a Find completely empty cat bowls and realize I forgot to give them the rest of their dinner last night. Oops. They are forgiven for being assholes.
4:50a Back to bed.
6:18a Really have to pee again. Totally afraid to. Sneak down the hall and back and snuggle back into bed.
6:20a Every. Single. Time. The whining begins.
6:28a Ok, he's up for real, so so am I. But seriously...
Yeah, ok.
*Note: In the two days since I wrote this, little man has slept through the night, so I've actually gotten to sleep from about 10p-5a. Minus the two times I have to get up in the middle of the night to check on him and make sure he's actually alive. There's been fussing at 12 and 3 or so that wakes us up, but he's put himself back to sleep. And this is called progress.
