What has happened to bedtime? For months it was so easy: 7:30 bath, story, eat, sleep. It took 45 minutes and Neal and had an hour and a half of peace and quiet before we went to sleep (uninterrupted by baby) until 6:00 am.
Then he got sick.
One night it took 3 hours - at least one of which was just screaming - to get him to sleep. Other nights (and nearly every nap) he just refuses to sleep. Bedtime has been pushed back to 9:00 to try to make sure he's really tired. But still. He just lays in his crib. Babbling or crying or coughing (that's the saddest).
I believe he's starting to feel better. But have we created bad habits I now have to break? Or will he revert to his simpler ways as soon as he's better?
This is my real point of telling you this: if you are the next person to get my baby sick, beware. Neal and I WILL exact revenge upon you in the worst possible way. I am not joking. Don't get my baby sick. At the very least, be prepared to move in and be responsible for getting the baby to sleep while I put in my earplugs, light some smelly candles and enjoy a nice, long bubble bath.

Oh Amanda I know how you feel. I have had those nights before! I am so sorry! It is so miserable!
I'm sorry!! That happened to Alex a few weeks ago, he woke up every 2 hours for a few nights. Don't worry, he went back to his normal schedule though!
Every time my kids get sick they go through a no sleeping/eating phase, but usually they go back to their normal routines after a little while. I'm sorry he's sick, and I hope he gets feeling better soon for you and for him.
I am so sorry Amanda! A sick baby is the worst. Have things improved yet? He should get back o his schedule on his own when he feels better, usually Kaylee does. I really hope he gets feeling better. Hang in there.
Can we hire you and Neal as our "hit people" too? We are on the same war path, except I am not sure I want that warm bath with Neal.
