DAY FOUR: Boy will I be glad when we get past this stretch again. David entertained himself all afternoon b/c Joshua was in one of his "moods" again. Fusses if he is anywhere but in my arms on these types of days. Dinner was a success. David ate some tuna fish with his veggies tonight and practically ignored the cheese. He usually eats that first & ignores veggies & meat/fish. Hurray for variety!
Joshua cried for a full 20 minutes after round one of nursing at bedtime. I put him into the bassinet drowsy but he was screaming by the time I got out to the living room. I was able to get David bathed, into jammies, brush his teeth, read a book & sing a song in those 20 minutes, however. Went to get Joshua and changed his diaper. Cuddled & calmed him for 10 minutes & then nursed him again after 4 big, wet burps and a little spit up. Put him down drowsy again & listened to another 20 minutes of crying. Went in to get him again and cuddled him while I sang several songs. Gave him 5 minutes of cuddle time before he really looked drowsy. Put him down in the bassinet where he started to fuss again. I patted his tummy & sang three more songs. A few wimpers & he was out. Not a peep since.
I am calling tonight a victory b/c he was asleep before 8:30 despite two long CIO sessions. I am hoping tomorrow is better. Mama needs her sleep, too. I am really starting to lose it.
