I forgot the #1 rule of talking about parenting. Unless you want to jinx the good stuff that is going on, you NEVER talk about what you think is a wonderful routine or event. If you do so, it is destined to reverse or even never happen again.
That is what has happened with Gwen. After sleeping really well for the first 4 nights of her life, the last 3 have been much more difficult. Granted, we are still learning, and I think a lot of it is gas-related and not bad sleeping habits but I knew better.
Actually today, she has slept a lot, and a lot like she had previously but that for sure will not be depended on transferring to the nighttime. But I'm hoping that even if it happens again, it is just one of those cyclical things that kids go through. Still to this day, Trevor has on-again, off-again periods where he sleeps a lot, or not enough.
So anyway, that's what we are dealing with right now. Trying to get everyone enough sleep. So far, the only one not affected by it, of course would be Trevor. Lucky guy.
