Tomorrow is going to be a long day....

It's 4:30 am. I haven't been able to sleep since 1:00 this morning. At 2:30 I finally got out of bed and putzed around on the computer until 4. Then I went back to bed. The baby monitor was being really staticy, so I wasn't falling asleep, and then A started crying.

If it's after 5, I'll feed her. But since it wasn't even 4:30, we're back to our Ferber Method. She is NOT liking it. But I fed her late enough last evening that it shouldn't be hunger waking her up. And like I said, I'll feed her if she starts crying after 5, but before 5... no dice.

She's quiet right now... I feel like I should rush to bed because she'll be up for the day in less than three hours, and will probably wake up to nurse one time between now and then, but for some stupid reason I am not tired. (note... she's crying again.) I drank a Mtn. Dew at lunch yesterday, but I have a hard time believing that some pop at noon yesterday would still be keeping me up 16 hours later.

I did have big plans to go shopping for shopping today. I wanted to get a new light fixture for our master bathroom (J painted it yesterday!) along with a few other things to match the new look. I also wanted to get some more fabric (I am loving my new sewing machine!) but my guess is we'll be staying home and whenever A goes down for a nap, I will be doing the same.

So I went back in there to comfort her again (just like Ferber says) and she gets SUPER ticked when I leave after doing that. But now she's quiet again. I'm half way tempted to just try to sleep on the couch, but I know J will be up and out here before 7... and if by some miracle A is still sleeping I would like to be doing the same... so I should just try to sleep in bed. But when I crawled into bed at 4, J's knee was way on my side of the bed, and when I asked him to move it, his sleeping brain understood, "Please roll over and flop your whole body on Jill's side." Nice. He never believes me that he hogs the bed... but it's the truth. But let's be honest... I miss him hogging the bed when he goes on trips, so deep down I must not really mind all that much. :)

She's still quiet now, so I'm going to try to sleep I think. Hopefully she stays down for a while... and naps well tomorrow so I can get a little sleep!
