Calm before the storm.

Thursday night Cadence had a really bad night--she woke up every two hours, and even when I caved and slept on the couch with her, she still couldn't stay asleep.  I go through such a range of emotions when she has these nights--frustration, patience, sadness, etc.  Mostly I just feel bad for her because she obviously needs to sleep but for some reason she can't.

Thankfully last night was much better.  Although she didn't go to sleep until 10:30, she slept until 7:30am with no breaks.  She kind of had a cranky morning, but I put her in the infantino carrier and walked outside with her for a little bit which made her content. 

Her feeding schedule has been really off since I got sick last week.  She was eating consistently every two hours, which sounds exhausting, but after the every one hour schedule we were on, it seems so liberating!  But since she started spitting up more, I've tried to stop feeding her as soon as she pulls off the first time while eating.  This has worked to minimize spit-up, but as a result she gets hungry an hour later.  I'm hoping and praying that we'll be able to start her on solids soon and that maybe that will help keep her full for longer. 

This weekend is our last "down" weekend for awhile--James is actually off duty, but we've just decided to chill and take it easy...and of course clean the house.  James's mom is coming to visit next weekend, then my sister Shannon is coming, and finally my parents are coming after her.  Then we just have one more weekend in Bell Buckle before our Thanksgiving trip to the beach!
