Happy Humpday!

Only 2 more sleeps until Jamie comes home!! This is only the second day without him here but it feels like forever. I am definitely aware I am in my 3rd trimester because I have had to go back to napping in the afternoons in the last week. It seems I had just gotten past the point after Addy was born of having to still nap (still as in from the 3rd trimester with her) when I got pregnant again and was in that lovely phase of exhaustion that comes along with the 1st trimester. Oh well, at least I got that little break in the 2nd one, right?

So yesterday Addy stood all on her own. She was digging through a drawer and pulled out something especially interesting. So interesting, that she felt the need to let go of the drawer and use both hands to check it out. She stood there totally balanced for a good 10-15 seconds before she just plopped down on her bum, like it had been no big deal. It seems as though every time I turn around she is doing something new that she couldn't do the day before. It's really exciting to watch her grow and develop and learn new things, but at the same time it does make me really sad because it seems like it was just a couple of weeks ago that she was born. Sometimes I just don't understand where the time has gone and how she has transformed from this newborn who didn't do anything but eat, sleep and poop to this little girl that she is today. And this is only the beginning. I'm only going to be shocked more.

Right now I am struggling with her to get her back on the sleep plan. She did so great last week with putting herself to sleep on her own, but after the hellacious weekend we had, she is having troubles again. It's taking her alot longer to fall asleep and I'm not entirely sure if she is just overtired or if she is choosing to fight it again. The only good thing that seems to have come of it this week is the fact that once she does fall asleep at naptime, the naps tend to be longer than they were last week, so that's good. She's still getting up way too much in the night, though. Once before I have gone to bed, once in the middle of the night and once in the early morning. I could understand the early morning wakening because that's about 12 hours after bedtime and it makes sense that she would be hungry (assuming, however, she weren't waking up to eat 2 other times in between), but the other 2 are just flabbergasting me. What happened to my baby who slept through the night since 4 weeks that she is getting up 3 times in the night now? I am so desperate to get this worked out and get her sleeping through the night again because I am becoming increasingly aware of my approaching due date and I know that I will be up with the new baby every 3 hours for feedings and if Addy is also waking up 3 times in the night, I don't know how I will cope.
