to sleep or not to sleep....

Caden likes to wait until about 2AM to finally fall asleep. Now, in the past I stayed up that late or even later. But that was while I was doing stuff. Trying to keep myself awake while I'm trying to rock my baby to sleep is hard. I'm so calming that I put myself to sleep.

Last night, I let him cry/whine for 20 minutes!!! I figured he would just cry himself to sleep. Nope. He wanted me to come in there and hold him. So I went in, cuddled with him and swayed back & forth. Boom. He's out. So I waited a few minutes to make sure he is sleeping. His mouth was wide open, so I knew he was sleeping.

He slept until 11, but I had to leave, so I needed to change him. I think he would have slept longer if I didn't change him. When he opened his eyes he kept smiling. It was the cutest thing. It was like he knew he was doing it.

I just fed him and he passed out in my arms. I put him down & he woke up.

It's gonna be another long night & I already have a headache from my contacts. awesome.
