Interrupted Sleep Help
Posted: 01-12-08 09:44am

Since August Ava's been sleeping in her bed from 7:30 to 7/7:30 without making a sound except when she's cutting teeth. Well over the holidays our routine was messed up, so she went a week waking up an hour early, then got back to normal. Well starting last Thursday or Friday she started waking up between 5 and 6. We even pushed her bedtime back to 8 sometimes 8:30 and it just makes it worse or just as bad.
Keep in mind last Thursday we started transistioning to one nap a day. Most days since then she's only had one nap. We're trying to push up that morning nap enough to just have that one and no afternoon nap.
Last night was by far the worse. She cried every hour on the hour. It was just a loud cry, then she went back to sleep. Well at 4:20 she was awake. I let her moan and groan for 40 minutes b/c she wasn't crying and she went back to sleep. She let out a cry at 6, but then slept until 7:30. It was 12 hours total, but she had a terrible night's sleep.
I don't know what's going on. Some night's she'll only sleep 9 hours. I guess it's going to one nap instead of 2, but I hope it gets better and we get back into a routine again.
I hate this.

Since no one responded and probably don't even give a poop. I'll answer my own question.
Ava has her top molar coming out that I thought was already out AND she's running fever b/c of her chicken pox and measles shots she took 9 days ago.

No wonder.

She had a great night last night. She slept 11 hours and had 2 good naps today even though we're trying to go down to one. With the fever, she wanted to take a 2nd one.
