So for some reason the past few weeks Elah has not been sleeping well at ALL. We're not sure if its where her teeth are coming in or what, but I can tell you, its really starting to get old. She started throwing tantrums every time she wakes up and Sarah usually will have to sit her down in the floor and let her do her thing because we're afraid she will throw herself out of our arms.
I gotta say tho that last Monday night had to be the worst night since she was born. We put her down around 7 like we normally do and she fell asleep pretty easy. I think she woke up once between 7 and 12. Then around 12:30 she woke up and didn't go back to bed till 3:30.
We tried everything, I rocked her, Sarah rocked her, but nothing was working. a few times she would dose off but when we laid her in her crib she would start screaming. Eventually we just sat her in the crib and let her cry while me and Sarah laid my sleeping bags in the floor of her bedroom and tried to rest a bit. hour and a half later shes still crying(The cry it out method doesn't work with her, trust me we tried).
SO we then got her up and calmed her down. We put a few toys in her crib with her this time since she was wide awake, while me and Sarah tried to get some sleep cause at this point we could barely hold our eyes open.
I remember waking up and looking in her crib and saw that Elah had put herself to sleep by herself so I'm thinking "finally we can all get some sleep". 30 mins later she was awake and screaming again. We eventually got her to sleep at some point but she only slept about an hour and a half so i just got up with her and let Sarah sleep till 9:30 then we traded off.
Thank goodness I was off the next two days otherwise I doubt I would have made it at work.
I'll be so glad when she finally sleeps through the night. If any of y'all have any suggestions I'd sure like to hear them.
