Patting

So right now I am laying on my bed as Autumn sleeps in her crib next to me. I seem to be her biggest comfort object and she senses even if I am just in the same room. She will be fast asleep and a few minutes after I leave she is awake again and crying. If I stay in the room she stays asleep. So I am staying in here until she gets into a deeper sleep at least. Silly girl. It gets very frustrating sometimes but at the same time I can't really deny that I love her attachment to me. It's one of the best parts about being a mom.
We are struggling with getting her to sleep. She cries and cries (in my arms or my husbands arms) until she wears herself out and falls asleep. We have tried everything. Rocking, bouncing, singing, nursing (well I have), dark, nightlight, warm, cool, swing, bouncer. I swear nothing works. And then once she does finally fall asleep she wakes up every ten minutes or so for a few hours until she finally sleeps and then she wakes up every one and a half to two hours to eat. I don't really mind that part. But it would be nice to get 3 or 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep. That would be pure bliss! I heard someone say the other day that, "My baby woke up twice during the night! It was awful! I'm so tired!" And I'm thinking, ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! That would be incredible! Ulg! Very annoying. Haha.
So I sit here and pat her anytime she stirs and catch up on my blogging. Which I am not very good at. I don't really have much time or energy to do it anyway.

But look at that face. Who can be annoyed at that? She is so precious!
