V is 3 months old, and we've been battling this off and on for, well, her entire short life. Even when she was brand new. This girl just does not have any appreciation for sleep. She really is her mother's daughter. However, now that I feel older than dirt - sleep is just great, I mean really really great.
She has this superpower of being able to stay awake ALL day long (well, she has these "microsleeps" where she'll sleep for 10-15 minutes every 4-5 hours). My only saving grace is that she sleeps at night. Speaking of, I am pro-co-sleeping. But I partially think it's easier since being a single parent I don't share the bed with anyone but her. Leading me to my next point, how can something so little take up the entire bed? I have an over-sized queen and yet I end up hanging off the edge. She does the whole butt scooting thing, and then turning herself all the way around. It really blows my mind.
Can someone please explain that to me? I want that talent! My friend says that brilliant kids sleep less. I pray that this is true. One day she'll have to take care of me, future doctor? (: Every parents hope. I have sleeping "issues" as well, so if she does too she most definitely gets it honestly - though I hope for her sake she doesn't. I come from a line of individuals who can't turn their brain off to sleep.
Does anyone else have a LO resistant to sleep? How do you deal?
It's a beautiful day so I think I'm going to get dinner going and spend some time outside. (:
