This week on “Two Under Two” - How many hours of sleep did Britt get last night?
Warning ⚠️ - Long post ahead
Lijana got her two month shots and was super fussy all evening (poor girl 😢), she actually didn’t sleep terribly, but she was also on me most of the night.
Milo is currently in his big boy bed, doing amazingly (most days) but last night was a whole different kind of night. 10 o’clock rolled around and Marin and I were getting ready for bed. After I’m ready for bed, i always go in and check on him, do a little butt sniff to make sure we won’t be waking up to a screaming child at 2 or 3am. Well, he had pooped when I checked. Changing this kid’s diaper is definitely a two person job, especially if it involves us waking him up to change him. There wasn’t too much of a fight, he got his diaper and asked for “do-do” (bed) right away. Awesome! We’ve succeeded! 2:50am rolls around, and he’s crying so I go check on him.. I stayed in his room with hopes he would go back to sleep, he didn’t. I was in there for over an hour. I gave up and decided he would definitely go back to sleep after a little crying (I’m a little nervous about writing this part, but let’s do it), he cried from 3:30-5:20 on and off. I had the internal struggle of constantly going in. I knew I had to stay put, he was safe, he had everything he needed, and he was tired. So I didn’t sleep either. Constantly battling going in or not. He ended up falling asleep from 5:20-8:30.
Long story short, I got 3.5 hours of sleep and we ordered pizza for dinner.
How many hours do you usually get per night?
