Second week of sleeping has been a lot harder than the first week.
Mostly it’s because Jacob has just developed separation anxiety from me. He has always been very independent… up until 2 weeks ago.
So I have stopped sleeping with him on a air mattress in his room. I put him to sleep and I would head on back to my comfy bed.
The extra baby gate is now up, So I feel better knowing he will be safe when he wakes up mid-night.
2 nights he woke up without crying and just walked over to our room, we just picked him up and put him in our bed (bad move), and the other times he would either he sits on his bed and cry or he would just stand in the middle of his room and cry. I would tuck him back him and he would do the same thing a few hours later. (ok I won’t lie….. a night or two I just brought him into our bed because I was so tired)
Jacob has never been a great sleeper, he is very sensitive with sounds and lights. My Mom said I used to be the same way, even to this day I can’t sleep unless it is totally silent and dark.
Well that just sucks! Wish he would take after his Dad, that man can sleep thru anything.
So, that’s how this week has been, waking up crying a few times a night and me just breaking down from my half asleep stage and letting him back in my bed.
I am going to do my best and keep him off my bed! (so easy to say that NOW since I am wide awake) but I will try my best.
Week 3 has got to be better, right?????
