Groggy

Another morning following another night of less sleep than anyone should ever have.  CC has never been a good sleeper.  Her first 7 weeks of life brought us about 3 hours a night of broken up sleep and very few naps lasting longer than 10 minutes.  Fast forward one year and we’re still working on her sleep training.  We’d have a couple weeks here and there when she’d sleep for 6-8 hour stretches at a time.  Then it would go back to being up every 2 hours and taking almost an hour to get her down each time.  The only positive is that she’s a happy baby even when she’s up all night.  She cries when she wakes but then cuddles right into your arms or wants to play in the dark.  The weekend of her 1^st birthday the boys were out of town so I let her cry when she went down and in the middle of the night so that she could learn to put herself to sleep.  It worked and she started sleeping more regularly.  Not through the night but in longer stretched and then when she did wake, she’d go back down in 20 minutes without fussing.  Oh how my body has gotten use to sleep again.  I forgot how good I could feel!  But the last two nights have been bad again and I’m not sure what to do or how to get over this new set back.  She’s going to bed with no problem at seven but waking at eleven thirty, wanting to play.  She’s been up until past two in the morning and then up for the day at her usual five.  I’m dragging and so is she.  I’m hoping this is all because of her molars breaking through or maybe a growth spurt and that it will pass soon.  It seems every time we start making progress and I’m feeling normal again, we revert to old habits.  Sleep, eating, working out, the same is true for all.
