A rough night on the couch
Oct. 16th, 2004 04:03 pmMatthew didn't really want to sleep last night. This is the second night in a row, however we handled it better than we did the day before. This past night we didn't over feed him. However I spent about five hours, in two portions, downstairs with him wrestling, though finally falling asleep, on my chest so that mom could get some sleep herself.
In the end, I think it is a little too cold in his cradle by the window. The first time I put him to bed, I put him down as we normally do, bundled in a blanket, and covered by a second one that is tightly tucked into the sides. He woke up shortly afterwards, much to my chagrin.
The second time I was more successful, I put one of the "gowns" that we got on to of his onesie, and put a second blanket over the first one. That seemed to be enough to get me about 3 hours of sleep this morning. Though he did wake up a another time looking for food. At least it wasn't cold that got him that time. I slept in a bunch this morning, but did not sleep much this afternoon. I'm letting my wife nap, however I probably should be doing the same myself. However I'm restless. In part because I've not kept up this journal. Oh well, if I can get a few more entries in today, I'll feel better about that.
