Words can not even begin to express how sad I am that our almost 2 full weeks of sleeping through the night are over. It started Wednesday night and it seems like we are back to waking up for an hour or 2 around 3-4 in the morning. It wouldn't be so bad if it was like today where Lew was home to take her when she woke up for a second time so I could sleep an hour longer, but today was just a random day he had off. I thought we had made some great progress. She was sleeping all night, eating the food I had actually made for her, instead of just the jarred baby foods. Now it's like a whole new Alexia, well lets just say the old Alexia is back. So many things run through my head when she acts differently. Is she FINALLY going to be teething? Did she have a night terror? Is she just super gassy? and of course I get no answers. On the bright side, we have been having some very good days. We play, we eat, we nap, of course there is a little fussiness but not near as much as there used to be.

Now here is a whole other set of dilemma's, that involve me. I actually got a call back for a job I sent in my resume to months ago! The bad news, it is full time 4 days a week for 40 hours. Not what I'm looking for, especially considering I can't leave Lexi (can't probably isn't the right choice of words, WON'T is more like it). Well I could but there is only one person I would feel entirely comfortably leaving her with for 10 hours a day. Too bad Blaire already has a full time nanny job :( I decided to go through with the interview, which is Tuesday, just to get back out there. Mine as well see the office and meet the people. Who knows what will happen.

She is so adorable! I seriously can't imagine leaving my kids, either. (Even on the crazy days/nights!) I've been reading your posts about sleeping issues, and I don't want to offer unsolicited advice... but I had a lot of sleeping issues w/ my firstborn so I'm here for you if you need to vent! I don't know if you've read about sleep regressions at all, but the "ask moxie" blog has a lot of good info. Babies typically have sleep regressions at 4 months and 9 months, but my son didn't sleep well until the 9 month regression was over, at about 10+ months. Anyways, if you google search "ask moxie sleep regression" you can read about it there. Lexi WILL eventually sleep through the night! You're doing a great job!! xoxo
