Continuous sleep is but a fantasy

V typically wakes up twice during the night. Some babies sleep straight through the night. Not this one! There is no particular time she will wake up; I think she just guesses when I might be in my deepest sleep and decides that is a good time. Last night I went to bed at 12:05 am, which is exactly the time that V woke up. She started whimpering, so I gave her a mini-bottle. She usually knocks out after that, but last night was a special night, because she babbled, played with her hands, and then CRIED and SCREAMED till 2 AM. Then she fell asleep only to wake up crying at 5:30 AM. While I was giving her another mini-bottle, I noticed she had crapped her pants. UGH. Cue me, trudging through the apartment to find a diaper, wipes, etc. I changed her and she continued to cry till, what, 6:30 AM? My memory is hazy. Then she woke up at 8:45 AM AS CHIPPER AS A LITTLE BIRD. And no bags under her eyes, nothing. What is that? Meanwhile I looked like a zombie that had been kicked repeatedly in the head. At least I know why I sleep with two pillows, one to put under my head and one to clamp over my ears.

Being a baby is super fun!
