Just when I think I have you figured out


My dearest baby Kaia-boo,


For a while, I was really careful. I didn't brag to other mommies about how, at just over 12 weeks, you were sleeping all the way through most nights, even (gasp) making it to 6 am a few mornings straight through from 8 pm. I figured I would jinx it if I said anything. But then, it kept going, and I let it slip to a couple of people. I knocked wood each time, and you kept sleeping right on through.


But then, I got careless. I mentioned it too many times, or forgot to knock wood, or perhaps one of those other mom's I mentioned it to cursed me late one night as they were up with their own baby-boo. At any rate, payback is a bitch. The past week you have gone to sleep at 5:45pm, 6:30 pm, 8:00pm, and 9:45pm. You have, with no predictability whatsoever, slept all night (once), woken up once (twice) woken up twice (once) and woken up three times (three times). This morning, you woke up at 6:00 am and were wide awake and happy until 8:15am, right before Nina normally arrives, and then fell asleep until 9:15. Uncle!


Regardless, kiddo, you are still the cutest thing I've ever seen. This morning, your dad propped you up in your basket of stuffed toys, where you sat happily for more than 10 minutes straight! Spoiled already.


So my question is, if I tell all my friends that you are keeping me up all night, will you start sleeping through the night again?


I love you, boo.


Mama
