Updated: It's the weekend, but not really...

That is one thing that I've learned: Becoming a mom, is a 24/7 job and you don't get the weekends off plus terribly underpaid.

Austin was a bit fussy Wednesday and Thursday from his shots on Tuesday. Poor thing. He wouldn't really nap. Then, yesterday I thought, "hmmm, maybe if I black out his window since it's daylight out until late now he'll sleep." Yep, it worked! He went to sleep (totally fussy from not sleeping much the night before. Slept from 10pm until 8am waking every two hours to eat!) from 5:30pm until 10am today only waking every four hours to eat! AND he's napping right now!

Thank you Suji for mentioning the black out shades on facebook!

Updated: He was in a totally good mood today because of all the sleep.

Updated again: He was asleep by 7:30pm tonight. We'll see if this keeps up!

Wow - 5:30 until 10? Thats like 2 nightimes worth of sleep. He must have been really tired.

You must remember that he does not nap very much. That day he napped twice for 20 minutes each time. So, he was up from the early morning until 5:30pm straight. And the night before he only slept from 10pm - 8am waking every two hours to eat. Bah.

Don't worry - the older he gets, the longer between feedings will come. Griffin still gets up once a night, but sometimes he goes from 8:30 (bedtime) to 5:30 before wanting to eat. That feels like heaven!! :)
