No Sleep.

No Sleep.

March 1, 2011

Back before Ruby was born, I used to joke all the time that I didn’t care what kind of baby I had, as long as it was a better sleeper than Ronan. Fussy, gassy, colicky, needy, whiny… I’d take it as long as we got sleep. The first week or so with Ruby was as expected.  Wake, change, nurse, burp,… Read More

Head Down!

December 6, 2010

I seriously have about 10 blog topics running through my head at all times.  I’m usually experiencing a situation and thinking to myself, “How would I write about this?” Only to find that I sit down to write, and there is nothing there.  Yeah, I know… get a notebook already!  I wish I could just blog the moment an idea… Read More

Sleep Again.

November 5, 2010

I’ve been tweeting and talking about this for ages, time to write a blog. Our Sleep Saga has been well documented.  For the last several months, Ronan has been an EXCELLENT sleeper. Here is what we were working with. We put Ronan to bed on sleepy cues.  When he slows down or gets glossy eyed, it’s time for bed.  That… Read More

The Poop Dilemma.

September 9, 2010

Oh Ronan. Tuesday night, in bed on time.  I love that you fall asleep so well, and stay asleep.  I check on you before I go to bed, and everything is well. …But when we wake in the morning, there is poop.  It has been there a while, and you are rashed all over.  Why did you start pooping at… Read More

The Sleep Blog.

The Sleep Blog.

April 2, 2010

This blog has been a long time coming. If you’ve been a regular around here, you might have noticed that it’s been quite a while since I’ve bitched about Ronan’s sleeping habits.  I haven’t written this post for a lot of reasons: for fear that it would jinx us, for fear of judgement, for fear of backlash. In our sleep… Read More

And So.

March 19, 2010

Following up my 3 day marathon post of a story, I haven’t got much to say. Ronan was a complete bear last night.  He didn’t go to sleep easily or well, he was up at 10 and didn’t go back down until 2 am.  Yes, I’m serious.  I tried for almost 2 hours to put him to sleep.  All of… Read More
