Sleep? We don't need no stinkin sleep

Well, 1 of us doesn't apparently, but the rest of us do! I feel like every time we start to get into a pretty good routine & Fi starts sleeping well, something comes along & effs it up. A cold stuffed her up so she couldn't breathe & kept waking up, growth spurts, the 4 month wakeful, learning to roll to her belly & having to stop the swaddle, teething, traveling home, and now the "wonder week 37."

WTF, who has even heard of the wonder week 37 before, because I certainly hadn't. Basically, a glorified name for a developmental growth period that is making Anneliese clingy & sleep shitty. (Seriously, she didn't even wake this often when she was a newborn.) While I'm glad there's a "name" for it (& hopefully an end in sight), it doesn't help when we're waking up every hour with a baby that's screaming in her sleep. Unless having something to curse at in the middle of the night is helpful.
