We Have a Schedule Folks!

I have been working quite diligently trying to get Caitlyn on a better schedule so I am not so tired during the day, and life can resemble a little normalcy (whatever that is). We tried skipping naps, waking her up early in the morning, giving her baths at a certain time each night, and sleeping with her. Well, something has paid off! She has now gone to bed at 10:30pm for 4 nights in a row and slept with no awake times until 8am. NO, She's not sleeping through until then, she wakes for feeding, but before this she would catnap until 11pm and be awake until 1am! Unfortunatly I am not sure which one it was that worked, but I guess it doesn't matter since I haven't done any of those things since she's been sleeping through. The funny thing is one night my friends and I were talking about how to get her, and their babies as well, to sleep better for naps and nighttime. We talked about the BabyWise books and a few other popular methods. None of which really sounded that good. That was the first night she fell asleep at 10pm and didn't wake until 3am for feeding! I guess she decided to do it on her own so we didn't have to start any unpleasant means of getting her to sleep at an earlier time. Smart baby!
