Well, I am sleep deprived, fosho.  We got 4.5 hours of sleep last night because E was up every. single. hour. after his first stretch of almost 3 hours (thank God for that one).

I don’t know if it is a sleep regression or if he just had a bad night, because he was farting up a storm!  We did his bedtime routine as per usual but we haven’t had a first night time stretch that short in months.  We have definitely been spoiled by a 5-7 hour stretch right off the bat & boy, are we feeling it tonight!!

Hubs & I started talking culprits after his fourth wake up of the night… & we came to the conclusion that I had given him gas. My bad, man! Look at me acting all out of character eating vegetables instead of carbs for lunch & where it got me! See if I make that mistake again! Goodbye, lentils. It was nice (eh, nice-ish) knowing ya! We tried rocking/bouncing E back to sleep when we knew he shouldn’t be hungry but that piggy wasn’t having it this time.

      He’s spoiled & gets nursed to sleep often and that was biting me in the butt big time tonight! So he nursed for about 15 minutes after his 4th wake up and then proceeded to spit up all over me. #momlife (I KNEW he wasn’t hungry yet! But I guess there’s no reasoning with a 3.5 month old) I suppose it could’ve still been the lentils fault, but who really knows.

He continued to start fussing pretty much every 45-60 minutes until he decided he had enough. (Who you telling?!)

Come 5:45 am & he was refusing to nurse, was screaming when rocked, just chilling wide eyed when being bounced, & straight cooing up a storm when we gave up and just laid him down… are you kidding me?! How in the world he wasn’t tired after all that nonsense I will never know. Talk about an early morning!

Moral of the story: don’t eat the lentils & hope that’ll solve the sleep probz lol.

So I’m praying this isn’t permanent & am blaming it on the lentils. When in reality it’s prob a nightmare combo of teething/mental leap/sleep regression that I just don’t want to admit to. #momdenial One day we’ll have a restful night’s sleep, right?!?
