I'm guessing the people with the hotel room next to ours were really wishing they had chosen somewhere else to stay last night and this morning and probably yesterday afternoon too. S has been a miserable pile of poo since we got here yesterday. Screaming till she choked at naptime and bedtime. Shaking her hands in furry and screaming at the sight of a bottle at dinner time. Woke up all night and refused to go back to sleep more than once. She finally ended up in bed with us around 4 am (for the 2nd time, but for good this time) and FINALLY went back to sleep around 5:30 until 7 am.
I'm glad this is a work trip for Matt rather than an actual vacation because if I had paid to be here I'd be more than a little annoyed...and let's face it, I'm already quite annoyed just because I'm exhausted! And poor Matt had to be out the door around 6 something this morning.
When we get home, life as S knows it is about to change. I am done feeding her ALL night long. We will be phasing out the nursings and comforting her from the side of the crib. I am quite certain it will be more exhausting in the short-term but I am praying for more sleep in the long term because I need my rest to be a patient, thoughtful and loving teacher and mother this fall.
