Sleep, oh how I miss you...

It has been decided that the adults in this house are past exhausted. Not sure what the word for that would be for that, but we are it. I think my last good night of sleep was probably sometime in my 2nd trimester. So, lets just say maybe September or early October. I don't think many pregnant women sleep good and I know families with a demanding newborn don't sleep well. But, do know there are people with a 3-month  old that are getting full night's sleep, but we are not a part of that group. I know one of the first rules of having more than one  child is that you should not compare them. I get it. But, we were so blessed to have a fantastic sleeper in Aubrey so facing the cruel reality that Mason is just not as good of a sleeper has been so harsh. We finally decided to stop swaddling him last week because even after buying a bigger swaddle, he would escape from it and be pissed he couldn't reach his full hand in the middle of the night. Plus, he was spending most of the night asleep in the bouncy seat in our room and that was not helping me sleep well. The first night of no swaddle was absolute hell because he kept waking himself up and wanting his paci. I must have gone in his room at least 10-12 times that night to return the paci and help soothe him back to sleep. Then, he woke up at 4 insisting to eat. The past few weeks he had been sleeping until 5:30 or 6 in the morning so upping this time was another shock. The 2nd night of no swaddle was a bit better because I only had to go in twice to replace the paci and soothe him on top of a 4 AM bottle. The past 2 nights have been back to the crapper and he has woken us up multiple times throughout the night. And naps aren't going much better either since I am not letting him sleep in the swing or bouncy anymore. So we are all pretty miserable. We are not ready for sleep training just yet because he is still too young. We really are at a loss on how to make this better so we continue to stumble through the exhaustion and hope there is a better night in the future.
