Finally, Jemma had 8 hours of sleep (and so did we!) She wakes up every night at least twice, once for a feeding and once for a changing. Two nights ago we had a major meltdown when Jemma went to bed at 8:30, woke up at 11:30 for her feeding and then again at 12:30 and basically wouldn't go back to sleep for more than 20 minutes at a time. Her screams were terrifying and piercing - luckily we have a group of monks in the room next to us. We couldn't figure out what was up, other than the fact that we overstimulated her during dinner by taking her to a Thai restaurant filled with about a thousand customers and entertainment at your table - kind of like a big Thai Bar-Mitzvah! We just wanted something other than Chinese food, is that so wrong? Also, Jemma is really teething now, she's cutting her two front teeth so that only added to the sleepless night. But last night - we were determined to get some sleep, we so sang lots of songs before bed and pulled her crib next to ours and a few other things they say to do in the book, and voila! In bed by 9:30, up once for a feeding at 2:20 and then she slept all through the night till 6:40am and woke with a big smile on her face.
