3am

Well, I hope that our nights start to get better REALLY soon. I'm exhausted...

For the past 2 weeks, Laura has been up a lot each night (2-4 times)... to start with, it was more typically 2-3 times each night with a few 4x/night thrown in here and there... then 3 nights ago she had 2 nights in a row where she was up at 11, 1, 3, and 5... Friday morning after all that she was up for the day at 5:40. At that point, I had Richie get up with her. I needed to get some sleep...
Saturday night she was up 4 times again - roughly those same times too. Eating at each one.
THEN...last night, I don't know what happened, but she was up EVERY hour (except 3am)... 11:45ish for a pacifier pop, 12:45ish for a feeding, 1 something for a pacifier pop, 2:45ish for a feeding, 4:10ish for a feeding, 5:30 for a pacifier pop, and then up for the day at 6:56... UGH! She uses a pacifier to fall asleep for each nap and for each night, but she has NEVER needed it in the middle of the night to fall back to sleep. Last night's pattern looks like she was waking up at the end of each sleep cycle and not being able to fall back to sleep.
I'm ready for at least 2 hours of solid sleep! (Doesn't that sound like the craziest plea ever?!)

...what happened to my child who was a good sleeper? I'm ready for this "phase" to pass... and they say it will..."this too shall pass"...
