Second Night Recap
- Posted by Shaun on February 27th, 2008 filed in Emelia
As I mentioned the second night started off well. She slept the whole night, but woke not three times, but at least 5. I lost count due to being exhausted myself. About an hour after going down she was up. Then every 2-3 hours she woke up. Sometimes she went right back out after about 15 seconds. A couple times she stayed up longer.
The big problem was that she was so tired that she wanted to go to sleep early. If we let that happen she will be up and stay up in the middle of the night. She slept about 12 hours minus the time she spent trying to get asleep. Overall I think she did well and maybe a little better than the first night, but seeing the way she was this morning it was clear that she was still exhausted.
I hope that exhaustion and familiarity with her crib will help tonight. I also hope that she will sleep past the time when I get up to start the day. I’m the first one up and we like her to sleep until 6:45 or at least 6:30. She’s happier and we get time to get ready too. We’ll have to see how today goes.

So you really don’t want to wake up at 4:15, huh? But it’s so much fun. You just don’t know what you’re missing….
It’ll get better. And, you’re aright, she’ll prolly be so exhausted tonight that she’ll pass out cold and sleep mostly through.

I’ve heard it’ll get better with time from a few people already. I’m still waiting.
