10-10-2008 - Better...now that I'm doing full-on CIO yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn still tiredMy mood while writing this blog:
yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn still tired



there should be a yawwning smiley...

Anyway, last night Julia slept soundlessly from 6-10, nursed, then 10:15-2:15 nursed and 2:30-(it's 5 AM she's still asleep). HUGE improvement! Same story Wed. night.

We started a teeny amount of rice cereal at doc's suggestion. Not enough to make a difference, yet. But she will be 5 months in four days. So it can't hurt.

In a week or so I'm going to work to drop that 2 am feeding.

I use earplugs in between. But I have a vid monitor I can glance at (sound off) to make sure she's ok.

Naps are still short but better.

I feel so empowered now that I'm in the solution and the problem is decreasing!
