The boy who won't sleep!

Ugh!!!
When Nathan was about two months old, he started sleeping through the night. He'd sleep from about 8:00pm to about 7:00am, all the way through without waking up. He did that from 2 months old to about 4 months old. We were certain that we had the greatest baby EVER because he started sleeping through the night at such a young age... we spoke too soon...
He started teething and he started to wake up at 3:00am every single morning. 3:00am ON THE NOSE, every morning. But it actually wasn't SO bad because I would just sleep walk into his room, pick him up out of his crib and bring him back into bed with me. I would nurse him and we'd both fall back to sleep and then he would sleep until 7:00-7:30am. At the time that these 3:00am wake up calls were occurring, I complained about them... but now I would do anything to have THAT sleep schedule back!!

Lately Nathan is waking up a LOT more in the night... 2 or 3 times usually - and he is proving more difficult to get back to sleep!! Many times Jeff will take him downstairs and put him in his swing to get him back to sleep - and even that takes some struggle as well. It is so frustrating!!

Last night he woke up at 11:30 & 12:30 & 2:00 & 4:15... UGH!!!
And then I went off to work this morning and left my nice, big, hot, yummy, eye-opening cup of coffee sitting on the table next to the arm chair in the living room...

it is going to be a LONG morning!
